Why We Like The Capitan Helmet
We value the Capitan's versatility: The ABS front and rear shell hold integrity at hot dessert crags and on freezing ice sends. The EPS impact puck absorbs unforeseen impacts from directly above, and the EPP liner provides that solid core that can take repeated abuse on the chossiest of routes.

Durable and comfortable
The S/M fits small heads comfortably that many other helmets don't.

Siiiiiick
Large color selection makes matching your outfit easy. New headlamp clip is easy to load and unload headlamps which is nice.

Fantastic helmet
I purchased this helmet because I love pink gear. I was wearing while climbing Denali. During the climb, I was hit by falling ice. The helmet protected me from what could have been a severe injury. The impact only left a small dent. #Quality.

Feel like a General in the Captain
Fantastic fit and feel. The added light/camera strap is a bonus feature for a solid lid.

Lightweight and good fit
This helmet fit like a glove out of the box. You can't expect that from all helmets, but this one did. And I'm stoked about that. Follow the sizing chart to give yourself the best odds. Also, this helmet feels like and looks cool too. Would recommend. :)

Perfect fit
I have long thick hair and it's hard for me to find a helmet that fits good. This one fits all the way down on my great big head and fits over my hair! That's a big deal because it has been a struggle to find one that fits right.
