CAMP USA Pulse Ski and Climbing Helmet

CAMP USA Pulse Ski and Climbing Helmet

Rating for this product: 2 January 29, 2009

I was disappointed by both the fit and the winter kit functionality (CAVEAT: I have not used this helmet in the field). The tension band does an adequate job of keeping the helmet on my head, but the fit is rather clunky. Given that this is the only helmet of it’s kind, I would have gone with it based on that. However, I opted to return it as the winter kit is pretty under-engineered: the insulated plugs neither friction into the holes nor adhere to the interior of the helmet - hard to imagine how they’d stay in without tape - swapping them out in the field would be awkward at best. The ear flap attachments interfere with the tension band and the chin strap (at least at my head size). There is so much slop in the closure mechanism for the holes on the front of the helmet (right over your forehead), that they only partially close.

This might be a fine helmet for spring skiing, but for winter climbing, I can’t see it working that well as an insulator.

My advice: wait for the next generation…
