By Ranked #469 - Harnesses and Climbing Helmets August 28, 2008

I have worn the older style Petzel as well as the Back Diamond Half dome, and I like the ventilation and headlamp clipping the best. The helmet is low profile and light as described so it doesn't get in the way in a climb. The chin straps are easy to buckle, unbuckle, and adjust whether or not in motion. Like any helmet I keep it out of the sun and away from fumes which will retain its functionality for its life. I also avoid the unnecessary clunking about so no news on an impact.
