Why We Like The Black Diamond Vision MIPS Helmet
The Vision Helmet is Black Diamond's most durable foam helmet for climbing, and this Vision MIPS Helmet adds a Multi-directional Impact Protection System for an even greater level of safety. The Vision also has an updated design to the innovative hybrid construction that climbers have been enjoying for seasons. The polycarbonate shell covers a larger portion of the crown, and there's a layer of EPS foam underneath for added crown protection. EPP foam covers the rest of the helmet for multi-impact protection.

Comfortable and Feels Really Safe
It is exactly what I was looking for. It’s light, very good fit, comfortable, and the MIPS tech gives extra peace of mind. I barely notice I’m wearing it, even on long days. The ventilation works well, and the headlamp clips are handy. It feels solid without being bulky. Delivery was quick and everything was in perfect shape. No issues at all. Definitely recommend it.

I love this helmet
So far I’ve only worn this on a few scrambles but I have big stuff planned for this! It super light and durable. The fit it a bit weird in that it looks weird in my head but that’s the cost for safety. Overall highly recommend.

Vision Helmet, the MVP
Really comfy, and also seems really sturdy, whenever I hit my head, it cushions it pretty well

Best gift ever!
The person I gave this to is an avid climber, and regularly spends many hot afternoons in the sun. The helmet itself is so lightweight, it’s an absolute blessing. My only note/request would be to make it available in more colors if possible!

Incredible! I run hot. Really hot. Even though the sun was on us all day I did not feel heat even with a black colored helmet on the via ferrata in Ouray, CO. The vent locations were certainly placed with the user in mind, protecting from rocks while maintaining maximum breathability. Very comfortable and never got in the way as we experienced slight over hangs or awkward holds/ clipping locations. The adjustability is unparalleled. You can adjust at the back of your head much like BOA but instead there are sliders. And then of course the chin strap. The helmet stayed in place as I would look down or up the wall and did not block visibility. FYI I wore a head band underneath and felt no pressure points. I just did not want to sweat up the helmet.

Super light and safe helmet
Just got back from climbing a few mountains in the Cordillera Blanca of Peru and got a chance to put the Vision Helmet to the test. Great fit and super lightweight. It has adjustment points for when you have a bennie on or when you don't so you get a good fit every time. Highly recommend! I would travel with it in your carry-on so it doesn't get damaged.
