Black Diamond

Half Dome Helmet

A Great Helmet

I have taken this thing everywhere, I love the light weight feel that makes me feel protected nonetheless. Definitely doesn't have all the features that the higher end helmets have but the boa in the back tightens to my head just fine, it has enough ventilation for me to hike with it on when doing scrambles and I take it climbing all the time.

Great overall helmet

Not the most light weight and has a few snag points but it just depends on what type of climbing you’re doing

Great helmet for the cost

Familiarity:

I've used it once or twice and have initial impressions

Used this helmet to hike Black Tusk in British Columbia. The fit was good. Chin strap was a little annoying, but that is any helmet.

Reliable

I guess you can always go lighter and more comfortable, but I often forget its up on my head. It just does the trick. The twist-adjuster is a huge time saver. Though I think that's probably a standard on everything now, IDK.

Good basic climbing helmet, with limitations

This is a good basic climbing helmet. I use it primarily as a low-cost search and rescue helmet. I do notice, however, that the cradle easily becomes dislodged from the shell. The helmet also tends to slip some on contact. These are safety concerns, and should be kept in mind while making a purchase decision.

solid helmet at a fantastic price point

My first climbing helmet was this model. It's great for saving money and protecting the noggin! Not the lightlest, but good for cold days and covering your whole head compared to lighter weight models.

Fantastic for the price.

Provides excellent protection, especially at its price point, however it doesn't breathe at all and can be uncomfortable against the forehead. The clips hold a headlamp in place very well and I haven't had a problem with anything shifting. It fits well and stays secure in everything I've put it through.

Great helmet

Not much to it. Great helmet and moderately comfortable. Could use some tweaks in the clip that secures it under your chin, but overall nice helmet.

Durable helmet for travel

I've put it through the wringer

Size Bought:

M/L

Durable enough to throw in/on a carry on bag without having to worry. I don’t mind or notice the weight compared to a super lightweight helmet, and am an intermediate level climber.

Comfortable and light enough

The helmet fits well and doesn't get in the way. I have used this outdoor rock climbing and tree ascension.
