Anyone have any cool shit on their helmets?
I've been seeing it more and more.

I just got a white Petzl helmet, and I'm curious about this too...

Get an Orange helmet and put black tiger stripes on it. Maybe the only way to truly rock a Scirocco

This isn't my helmet or photo, but I though it was pretty sweet!

It's not art but I usually put a couple of fat duct tape strips across the top of my helmet and a couple of thinner strips along the inside. I've had to protect the rope sheath a couple times and it's handy for misc repairs.

I've had a razor blade taped inside my helmet for years now. Probably the most useful emergency item I've got. I used to have a lighter in there too, but I used it so often that I eventually stopped putting it back in.

Not exactly artwork, but check out the subtle message on my old salamander on the left...

I've seen some great art (stickers all over may be creative, but is not the 'art' we seek in this post). Have at least one pic from decades ago, but can't find it anywhere right now. Alot of southwest desert guys seem to do the artwork, from what I've seen on towers out there.

So awesome that is, James. Proud work

James, I've seen the pictures of yours somewhere else. It's definitely my favorite I've ever seen for sure. Next new helmet is definitely going to be star wars themed.

My favorite helmet; recently left behind and lost in Red Rock... sad Petzel stopped making the Ecrin Roc helmet. Anyone have one they are willing to sell?
