comfortable on my kinda big head

By Ranked #313 - Climbing Helmets November 5, 2009

This was the helmet I used when learning to climb. When I had to get my own I tried a bunch of the more pricy ones but always came back to this. My head was always right on the edge of being too big for small helmets but too small for a large size helmet, or maybe I just didn't want to admit my head is a size large. This one size fits all was really comfortable. I find myself trying to scratch my head then realizing I have a helmet on, I forget about it that much. I got white to avoid the oh so common blue. Backcountry was the only place I could find it in white. The only issue I have is that my brother says it makes my head look even bigger, like giant bald skull, but he didn't see me in those other ones. So far it's protected me from lots of falling ropes and bashing my own head into overhangs as I go up.
