Best helmet I've used
By Fabrizio Zangrilli
Ranked #89 - Climbing Helmets

I want my helmet to be safe and light. I really don't want to know it is on my head until something hits me or I fall. The Speed is the answer to these needs. It is the world's lightest helmet at only 7.4 oz, and fits like a dream. It provides a lot of coverage with a low enough profile that I can easily get it under the hood of any jacket. And whether Im wearing it with our without a hat it is comfortable and unobtrusive.
I have used the Speed for everything from ski mountaineering races to high-end rock, ice and alpine climbs. I love how I can strap it to the top of my pack for long approaches and not even notice it. And on harder climbs where weight savings makes a big difference, it is a dream.
Once again this is another product from CAMP that leads the market in several disciplines. Honestly, it is the only helmet I wear anymore
for anything.
