Organ Pipe,
What's with the "look" issue? A helmet's for protecting your head, not for posing in.
Go to a climbing gear shop and buy a climbing helmet that complies with the UIAA / ECE standards. Personally, I'd avoid the very light ones. Although they doubtless comply, the harder a rock hits you, the better the helmet you'll need, so there's really no such thing as a helmet that's always going to be good enough.
Be aware that climbing helmets do a very different job from bicycle helmets etc.
Don't think that a helmet will be a substitute for climbing safely.
Mine is an Edelrid.
