This comment took me to REI's climbing helmets page. Lots of good the very good helmets. I’m not a climber, but it seems that something lightweight and breathable (so you don’t feel a need to take it off) would be a good option. Buying one of these on-line though is a non-starter; I would need to try it on for fit and comfort.

Any recommendations by the climbers or cavers here? Color, shell material, favorite brand...
