Solid, but not perfect

By Joel Schopp Ranked #145 - Harnesses and Climbing Helmets December 8, 2008

First, the good. It protects your head well, is reasonably light, has a great adjustment wheel for a good fit, it's comfortable enough you forget to take it off after a day of climbing, and takes years of abuse without any complaints. Also, the price is right.

The bad. It's not heavy but is heavier than some other newer helmets, and that can add up if you are looking up belaying all day. It also doesn't vent well, which means in hot conditions your head gets warmer than you'd like.
