Like its not even there...until you need it!

Ranked #60 - Climbing Helmets

Performance for a climbing helmet comes down to a few key points. Is it light? In this case, unbelievably so. Does it stay put on your head? Like its glued on. Will it protect your brain from climbing falls or falling rock? Without fail. I guess I have gone through the ranks of helmets from lots of the major manufacturers, but I have never, repeat NEVER put on a helmet that barely feels like its there and still does its job. Bottom line is I love this helmet, and will use it religiously.

Can you qualify your statement: "Will it protect your brain from climbing falls or falling rock? Without fail."? Not being a dick at all, just curious what evidence you are drawing from as I'm interested in this helmet and most reviews are "it's light, I love it!" Of course you do but you buy a helmet to save your life.
