Petzl Picchu kids childrens rock climbing helmet

Couple the harness and helmet and you get Macchu Picchu—ingenious! The Picchu has a big size range, and tiny testers with bigger melons liked this helmet. It comes with a set of stickers so your little ripper can customize it. Parents loved that it meets safety standards for both climbing and cycling, so it’s essentially two helmets in one. And if you talk your kiddo into an alpine start, it has headlamp clips.
