By Ranked #399 - Harnesses and Climbing Helmets January 2, 2009

no frills, light weight, fairly comfortable. I've taken a few good wacks from falling ice- probably grapefruit size, results... no pain, lots of adrenaline, and nothing but good feelings for the helmet. It gets the job done. I like the helmet much better for winter/alpine pursuits than I do for summer rock trips. It's less comfortable/streamlined than other helmets on the market. With a hat, the comfort issues aren't important.
