Less Protection and minimal approach.

Very simple helmet. What do I like? It is lite, comfortable, breathes fairly well, easy to adjust and does protect against some rock fall. What I don't like, it has less coverage for protection overall (especially around the ears) and a lot of the plastic fittings failed on me in less than a year. If you are looking for better protection and longterm quality, in my experience this lid did not last, but again that is my experience and I could have had a faulty product. I have read a lot of great reviews for this one as well and many people seem to love it. Unfortunately the product failed me and I cannot give it more than a 2 star for the degradation of the fittings. Fortunately it is covered under the warranty and backcountry guarantee which I am working on right now as we speak. Without the fail I would have to say the lack of coverage and protection is the biggest downfall, but other than that this could be a great helmet for the minimalist.
