I think its a different type of helmet you need for climbing. The climbing ones are a bit different and have a strap to keep it on your head. A building site helmet would likely fall off your head if you had a tumble.

If you're only going to buy a cheap one aren't you wasting your money????
If you're wearing it to protect you if you fall 50ft+ then I don't beleive something that cost £3 is going to do the job.
Just a thought............

If you fall 50 foot and land on your head, you won't have to worry how much the fookin helmet cost.

And tbh iv been told that helmets can cause more damage to the brain if you fall actually smile get a medium priced one (^^)

1 If you fall if its cheap it will break and wont cause damage to you and kill you, or wont and youll survive smile

2 if its deer(SP) it wont break and will damage you or save you
