| Kong Magic Climber
| This helmet comes in red, white, yellow, black, and blue. Universal size 51-62cm. The website is in italian.
| I bought this helmet for both my boys. They complained a lot about it sliding forward over their eyes when crawling. I used it a few times and found it to be uncomforatable. It is lightweight however; and will protect the noggin.

| Petzl DUO LED 14
| The DUO LED 14 headlamp is waterproof to -5 m. It is specially adapted for caving and water sports. It has two light sources: a halogen bulb for lighting over long distances with a focused beam, and 14 LEDs for proximity lighting with a longer burn time. This second light source has three lighting levels, which are regulated to ensure constant lighting. When the batteries become weak, the headlamp switches automatically to reserve power mode.
| I have used his light for about 5 or 6 years. The LEDs provide a very bright light. A fresh set of 4 AA batteries will run all day long. The halogen bulb however is lacking in brightness. One other con about this light is that it pivots back up into its top position very easily, which blinds the people you are talking too. I feel there are other lights available that are comparable in quality and are cheaper.
