The Black Diamond Capitan E is built to be tough, protective, and ready for long days on the wall.

Sizing

Measure around the largest part of the head-about one inch above the eyebrows.

S/M: 53-59cm | M/L: 58-63cm

Its two-piece shell pairs a rigid EPS foam puck on top with softer, semi-rigid EPP foam along the sides for optimal impact absorption. This construction meets the proposed UIAA standards for increased side and rear protection, giving you confidence on every climb.

Ventilation channels keep air flowing when the sun is high, while the low-profile suspension system ensures a secure, custom fit. Integrated headlamp clips, complete with an elastic keeper at the rear, make it easy to lock in your light for those pre-dawn starts or late-night pushes.

Whether you’re tackling multi-pitch trad, sport climbing, or alpine missions, the Capitan E delivers rugged reliability, breathable comfort, and next-level protection.
