[ Bought this for rock climbing in Hong Kong. Stylish and handsome, will not miss it or put it down when outing! I am a beginner climbing popular rock only, no big fall or large rock drop encountered so I have no idea on its protection and durability but it looks really cool so you might climb more and wear it more so.... you might have to buy a new one to substitute. Can ’ t see significant downside, but maybe a little bit narrow for big headers. Great helmet!!

[ I 've been climbing for over 50 years and used/worn a lot of helmets. In the 60's they were really klunky, heavy, thick, and tended to spin on your head falling forward covering your eyes. In the 70's and 80's only beginners, nerds and ice climbers used them.( Real men, etc. etc.) and the `` brain buckets '' had n't changed much... In the 90's as Ice became more popular, the manufacturers took heed, with the Europeans setting the standard. Early 2000's super light foams made the scene in bicycling and climbing helmets as did more and more climbers and screaming whippers so even the Hard Men and Women could justify wearing crash hats. Mammut, in my opinion, has the best defined helmets, they 've dialed the fit, using lots of fine adjustment and upped the game with state of the art even lighter materials, wind tunnel like designs and cool functioning looks. I am still climbing and wearing a Mammut Helmet and also use mine when riding my bike.

[ Very happy with this helmet. Easy to adjust for a good fit so I can tweak if when wearing over a hood or hat. Good coverage for the back of my head. I also like the styling and color.

I do n't even notice I 'm wearing the helmet when I 'm climbing, which means it's perfect. It is lightweight, the straps sit perfectly, and it is easy to adjust. This is my favorite climbing helmet

Definitely the most comfortable climbing helmet I 've tried. When climbing it feels like there's nothing on my head. Love the color and the straps overall fit well too. Not too much else that can get better with this helmet!

So far so good, I 've had things dropped on my head and smacked my head against some pretty hard rock with no apparent issues. Not to mention it's hard to beat the price!

This is a cheap and simple way to add some safety to your climbing. I bought this originally to give my parents some peace of mind but after my girlfriend dropped a quickdraw on my noggin I was happy I had it. This is light enough and durable enough to take with you to any crag. Make sure you use it, I forget sometimes.

I got a couple of these for me and to loan to anyone I go climbing with who may not have one, and so far they 've worked great. They 're very comfortable and very adjustable to fit a lot of different head sizes. I 've taken a few falls out on rock and I I 've definitely collided hard with the rock, but my head has always felt well cushioned.

[ I 've only taken it out once for a spin, but it feels good. I have a pretty big head for a woman but the helmet accommodates and comes with extra pads if you smaller/different shaped melon

[ Bought this helmet a few weeks ago. Very satisfied with the purchase, great price for a great helmet. Not the lightest but really comfortable and looks good. Since its one size fits all, I can also lend it to any friends who did n't bring their own in case their doing a sketchy slab.

Great for a beginner! This helmet has protected me from falling rocks while climbing while feeling so comfortable. I usually have issues with adjusting helmets to fit my head properly, and I love how this one is so easy to adjust. Better yet, it did n't cost much too.

Purchased this climbing helmet for my two daughters to share. Easy adjustment, universal fit, no complaints.

Super comfy, fits great, very light. Used outside, for both ice and regular climbing.

It's also extremely light, the headlamp attachment is reasonable and adjustments are super easy. ... Also highly reccomend Black Diamond for their customer service and warranty

This helmet has become part of my daily kit over other less- durable, super light options. It hits the right balance of being light enough to not notice in use, yet does not require delicate handling. I even packed this one in checked luggage for multiple international flights with no cracking or ill effects!

Quite comfortable and very light. I 'm still getting used to the sliding adjustment band in the back but once set it feels pretty good.

I bought this because it seemed to be the best value for what I wanted. Very happy with the lower profile fit and built in headlamp attachment. Light, comfortable and easily adjustable. Fit was as said in the product description.

I tried on the BD Vector and liked the fit, but not the colors. So I decided to try the new Vision i storm blue and it fits great! It's light and breaths well. I 'm a female with a lot of hair and I wear a hat while ice climbing, so I was glad I ordered the M/L. I like that you can adjust the chin strap back so it fits nicely. Great helmet and would highly recommend it to fellow climbers.

[ In the six month I 've bought 15 of these for replace some Edelrids that needed to be retired. They are good replacements at a much cheaper price. The are reliable bucket. I do n't give them 5 stars because adjusting size can be difficult. They do n't have the rear wheel.
When selecting a helmet for mountaineering, consider features such as impact resistance, weight, and ventilation. A good helmet should provide adequate protection without being overly heavy, allowing for comfort during long climbs. Additionally, look for adjustable straps and a secure fit to ensure stability while navigating challenging terrains.
Mountaineering helmets are typically made from materials like polycarbonate, EPS foam, and sometimes a combination of both. Polycarbonate offers durability and impact resistance, while EPS foam provides cushioning during impacts. Some helmets may also feature additional materials for enhanced comfort and breathability.
A properly fitting mountaineering helmet should sit snugly on your head without being too tight. It should cover your forehead and not shift when you move your head. Many helmets come with adjustable straps to help achieve a secure fit, so be sure to test it with various movements to ensure stability.
Yes, there are different styles of mountaineering helmets designed for various activities, such as climbing, skiing, or general mountaineering. Some helmets prioritize lightweight design for alpine climbing, while others may offer more coverage and protection for ice climbing or mixed conditions. Understanding your specific needs will help you choose the right style.
Ventilation is crucial in a mountaineering helmet as it helps regulate temperature and moisture during strenuous activities. A well-ventilated helmet allows for airflow, reducing sweat buildup and keeping you comfortable on long climbs. However, it's important to balance ventilation with protection to ensure safety without compromising comfort.
