Black Diamond Half Dome Helmet

Item #BLD0858 | 120 in Stock
4 Star Rating

Rocks are hard. Harder than your melon.

By Backcountry.com Employee June 1, 2006

I wear a helmet skiing, so why not climbing, right?

The half-dome feels good when it's on, because you don't notice it when it's on. It doesn't feel hot at all, because it's suspended off your head kind of like a hardhat.

The size adjuster thing works really well. However, I'm deducting a point because the chin strap is a little finicky, and it also loses its adjustment if you strap the helmet to your pack for the approach.
