Petzl Ecrin Roc Climbing Helmet

Item #PTZ0008 | 33 in Stock
5 Star Rating

Like an Orange on a Toothpick...

By Backcountry.com Employee June 4, 2010

I love my white Ecrin Roc. It has saved my brain many times spelunking, it has journeyed with me to the top of many peaks and has given me confidence and peace of mind on my canyoneering adventures.

The Ecrin sits a bit higher than my BD Half-dome so it makes my head look bigger than it already is, but the Ecrin truly feels bomber in comparison. Despite the size and profile, my BD Spot headlamp and petzl DUO headlamp still fit nicely on the Ecrin. Also, all the hoods on any of my jackets: TNF, Arcteryx etc. fit over the Ecrin. It is a little heavier than the Half-dome, but has better ventilation than the Half-dome.

Classic bomber helmet. Highly recommended!
