By Ranked #368 - Climbing Helmets May 30, 2009

Very nice helmet I bought it for my nephew who I've been mentoring into a climbing bum. He asked me why I never wear my Helmet, I didn't have a decent answer. I just said that I do in alpine environs but not at the crags. (translation, I'm too cool of an old tradster who started with a swami and hexes and I'm willing to preserve this image at my own peril) So I bought him this one but accidently bought the small and evidently wasn't clear in my return/exchange inst. as I just got a refund when I wanted a large instead. Any-who it seemed like a well made unit. I like my ecrin fine but if I ever replace it I'll consider an elios. As for my nephew I'm trying to set a good example and wear a lid but it feels wrong. He bought an elios from another supplier (local big box hell) and is happy with the feel and fit. The End
