Amazon 's mountaineering helmets to which this policy applies
The mountaineering helmet is used to protect the user and prevent the user's head from being injured during mountain climbing. There are two types of mountaineering helmets available for mountaineering: hard-shell helmets and foam-shell helmets. Consulting hotline: 18835682048
This policy does not apply to helmets used while working with trees (also known as tree climbing helmets).
hard shell helmet
Hard-shell helmets (also known as "shock-absorbing helmets" or "hybrid helmets") are similar to traditional shields, but have an extra-hard shell, usually made of ABS plastic, with strap-on shock absorbers and a thin foam liner.
foam shell helmet
Foam-shell helmets are lightweight, typically thick layers of impact-resistant foam made of polystyrene or polypropylene, protected by a thin polycarbonate shell on the outside. These helmets dissipate impact forces by passive deformation.
