Fits wonderfully and very easy to adjust. I’ve used it mountaineering. Easy to fit a beanie underneath in cold weather and plenty of holes to help with circulation in warm weather.

Perfect

These helmets do what they need to do. They just well for what size I need them and protect my head and my kids.

The Perfect Crag Helmet

Super light and easy to adjust. One thing I will note is that you need to have your hair in a low bun or in braids for it to sit correctly on your head. (I've been able to get away with french braids before.) If you have a larger forehead I'd recommend sizing up since the inner band and chin strap is adjustable to get that full frontal lobe coverage! I throw a hat under mine during sunny climbs!

Very comfortable and adjustable! also a cute color

Comfortable helmet that gets the job done! Some helmets sit funny on my head but this one has not given me any issues! Very easy to tighten and adjust straps.

Decently Okay

Slides back when you look up (sucks when you’re belaying!) but otherwise an okay introductory helmet. I like that you can fit a ponytail or a baseball cap under it pretty comfortably though

Good, Lightweight. I Dont Love The Fit.

I loved the construction and weight of this helmet. Color was beautiful. Quality seemed amazing. I loved the click twist adjust fit. Good padding. It slides off the back of your head and chokes you as soon as something happens to your mid height ponytail. I did not love that it relies on the ponytail to stay in place on the head. A solid bump, or long day will move a ponytail and then the helmet will SLIDE OFF THE HEAD. I do not love this. I have been offering this helmet for everone to use/try in the hopes that maybe I find someone who it fits better and who loves it. I want someone to fit this helmet better than I do. I want my problem to be a bad fit. So far it is not. If I find someone who loves this helmet, I will update this review with the information specific to their helmet fit that seems to make the difference. My normal helmet size is a sm/md (22" / 56.5cm) Size purchased was Sm/Md

First climbing helmet that definitely gets the job done. Adjustable fit which is nice and love the color. Only complaint is that it slides back on my head, but it could just be my oddly shaped head.

Great For Keeping Hair Off Your Neck!

Normally I hate wearing a helmet because they are not made with women's hair in mind. This helmet is amazing because I am able to feed it through the ponytail slot in the back and keep my hair off my neck during hot summer days. The only thing I was disappointed with is how different the color is in person compared to its picture online. It's a much darker matte color blue- not bright blue like in the pic. Overall, I love the product.

As Comfortable As A Climbing Helmet Gets. Lightweight

I think that this is an excellent helmet for most people. It's not only lightweight, but it's also fairly comfortable. I trust that it is durable as well since so many climbers use it and have had good experiences with it. I also think that the color is nice. Only thing is that I rarely ever wear my helmet to begin with so I may not provide the best information. I also do not like how it makes me look. I look like a bobble head when I wear this helmet.

Good Helmet

I purchased this for my daughter. She really likes the extra room in the back of the helmet for her thick pony tail. The helmet fit perfectly, she is looking forward to using it on a climbing adventure. The only negative is not the helmet but the packaging was all messed up when she opened the box. Luckily the helmet seems to be fine.

Not Worth The $

Used once and the chin clip broke. I bought it for our daughter and it seemed to fit her well but slid back on her head when she looked up, as other reviewers have said.

Half Dome Protects My Full Dome!

I've used this helmet for years for rock climbing and mountaineering. It's so light, I never feel it on my head. The ponytail cutout is crucial for keeping my hair up and out of the way for safety. The adjustability is great, I can crank it down to fit tight or loosen up a little to add a thin beanie or baseball hat underneath. It works great for all of my needs!

Nice Fit!

This helmet fits well, it's snug without having to cinch the chin strap too tight.

A Bit Slidey

I have had this helmet for about a month and use it several times a week. It's lightweight and has good airflow. However, it tends to slide back when I look up so I have to keep it pretty tight, and often end up with a slight headache by the end of the day. Also, for a women's helmet it doesn't have much room to put hair through the back. I have a lot of hair so I have to keep my hair low when it's on.
