Good budget option for a climbing helmet. I used this helmet for years, just recently switched to a lighter weight option.

This seems to be the go-to budget climbing helmet, fairly comfortable and very tough. The women’s version is ponytail-compatible.

For a first helmet, you can't go wrong with the Black Diamond Half Dome. I still have mine and it's still in great shape.
