A Complete Game-Changer

originally posted on Black Diamond Equipment

In both its Regular and MIPS configurations, this helmet had re-defined the price:performance ratio for climbing helmets You simply get MAX Bang at an irresistible price
point. HOWEVER: The Regular configuration still has the room for the MIPS gadgetry; so you might find it a bit spacey. Go get some Velcro Pads at Home Depot and place
them where they obviously should be placed; and Voila! You're Ready to Rock, literally and figuratively. Alas, I got mine in Pewter before I realized it came in my favorite color,
Yellow. But Hey! When it's on, I don't know WHAT color it is! And I foorget it's even there, too! Get off the fence = Pounce!

If your looking for a solid helmet that delivers best all-a-round protection as well as fits well, this is it. The ultra light trend has its place, but at reduce overall maximal
protection. This helmet balances the weight-to-protection ratio very well. The adjustable fit does a great job causing one to forget the helmet is there. Obviously a fan, for
good reasons. Research many options with several companies as a sports medicine provider familiar with head injuries, wanting to find the best protection for my own head.
MIPs technology looks promising, but unclear at this time if specifically for climbing/mountaineering it will reduce injury at the increased cost. I am confident this... Show more

Wore this climbing outdoors for this first time this past weekend--it fit well and was comfortable while climbing. I was worried about what it would be like since I've only ever
climbed indoors but I forgot it was there most of the time. Got a ton of compliments from other climbers on the colorIt is a pinch tight at my temples, but I was right on the
cusp of needing a larger size.

Fit is tricky
13 August 2023
I have used this helmet several times now. I have tried every which way to adjust this helmet. But the truth of the matter is that when I’m climbing or belaying this helmet slides back on my head unless it is so tight under my chin that it leaves strap marks on my face. When I look up the helmet hits my neck and leaves a mark there as well. The only way it works is to wear a baseball cap underneath. I measured my head several times and followed the size guide, so o guess it just doesn’t fit my shape of head. Adjustment is minimal. No ratchet strap, just a slider that opens up with the least amount of pressure.On a positive note, it is light weight and provides good coverage. Headlamp mounts easily. Color is nice, not bright white or orange. Not too hot even in ... MoreI have used this helmet several times now. I have tried every which way to adjust this helmet.

Game Changer
29 September 2024
This helmet has disrupted the price:performance ratio of helmets, delivering outstanding quality and functionality at a very reasonable price point. The interior of this model seems the same as the MIPS model, minus the MIPS yellow insert; leaving some empty space, IMO. I simply filled those spaces in with cushiony Velcro pads from "The Depot" and got myself a sweet customized fit. It has wonderful comfort, super light, looks "cool" and seems like it would take a beating. My only regret is not getting it in my favorite color - Yellow. But with it on, I don't know what color it is anyway, right? Recommend highly!... Show more

just ok
19 June 2023
This helmet is ok. It does provide protection, which is it’s intended purpose. But the fit is a bit off for me. Even after adjusting several times, it wants to sit back on my head quite a bit, leaving my forehead exposed. I tried two different sizes, small and medium. Adjusted the liner and the straps. But the problem persists. I climbed in it the other day and scratched it on rock, so I guess I’ll keep it. But I will definitely keep shopping for one that fits me better, and then use this one for a spare.I’ve worn bike helmets, ski helmets, motorcycle helmets, even hard hats while fighting wild land fire, so Im used to adjusting fit. Neither small or medium work for me. But every head is different. Just make sure you try before you buy.... Show more

Try It On Before Purchasing
11 February 2024
This seems like a great helmet with good features and ventilation however it is much more difficult to adjust than the Black Diamond Half Dome. The biggest issue I had though, was that the little plastic pieces on the chin straps dug into my jaw. This made it way to uncomfortable to wear. This might not be an issue for you but I would definitely recommend trying it on before purchasing it.... Show more

Versatile but not easy adjustment
10 August 2023
I used this for rock climbing, for our modified Haute Route, and mixed climbing (ice, snow, rock climbing) in Swiss Alps. It is a good decent one but slightly heavy. It fits very well to protect the head, but the adjustment belt is very hard to change and tighten/loosen up the strap and I had to take the helmet off every time. When you're climbing / mix climbing you want to make sure you can adjust the helmet without the need of taking it on and off. I hated the fact that I had to take off both gloves to adjust it in the cold alpine weather. The strap was also tight and wish they design it longer. Would not recommend it.... Show more

With A Little Tweak, A Bigtime Value
15 January 2024
The interior of this helmet is configured to accommodate the MIPS version, meaning this "regular" version is a little roomy where the MIPS goes. Simple solution: those sticky Velcro pads you can get at Home Depot. Once you pad out the interior, its extremely comfortable and so lightweight you forget it's on. BD really disrupted the Benefit:Cost ratios for helmets with this model, in both the regular and the MIPS configurations. My only regret is getting the Pewter color when my favorite color is Yellow. Oh, well: When I have it on I don't know what color it is LOL. Highly, highly recommend it to you.... Show more
