Hi have just bought one of these, in great condition and a bargain price
Caving Helmet (http://www.ebay.co.uk/itm/230786724761?ssPageName=STRK:MEWNX:IT&_trksid=p3984.m1497.l2649)
I also got one of these, not arrived yet but for £3 you can't go to far wrong as a spare.

Off the same seller as the Lids are some awesome firemans wellies. A little heavy for some, but even Slate can't rip them. Mine got pinched though.

I've also used those Lights (I think John N does too), and add a little Silicone around the battery box, and they're great. You have to be fairly rough to snap the mounting, which was what I worried about. I still have the Internals in my backup lamp.
Yes, that looks like the design of helmet I have. We got several of them through e-bay from a guy in Mold for £5 each. The elastic lamp strap is useless. I rivet the lamps to our helmets.
We also have several of the Cree lights, but I bought them from Bangor Army Navy at £12 plus. They are 'OK' but not brilliant. The batteries have a habbit of jumping out when you open the case, and the case latches easily break, but can be fixed with a cable tie.
The boots do look good.
those boots look like they will weigh a tonn when they're full of water
