Helmets like gloves are a complete crap shoot when it comes to sizing and this one fits great! The one-size-fits-all features a nice boa dial to let you...well, dial it in. You have plenty of room underneath for a beanie or soft cap. Luckily, I have not had to test it!
Received product and immediately had the top cushioning come off, they come with extra sticky things to secure it in place but those don't work very well either. Also, now I have to worry about a foam piece coming off whenever I take the helmet off. The design isn't very hair friendly, frequently snags on those hairs that you don't put into a bun due to the sharp plastic edges, making up the vents and other fitting equipment. I would recommend getting the more styrofoamy style helmets, not a fan because it doesn't vent as well as this one. But as long as I don't have to worry about my comfort flying away whenever I take my helmet off I'd count it as a win.
I bought this helmet on a whim. I made a quick trip to Southern Utah and forgot my helmet. I ran into a local climbing shop the morning of my adventure, tried on every helmet they had and this one was the obvious choice. It's the most comfortable and secure feeling helmet I've worn in 10+ years of climbing. My trusty helmet at home will now be a backup for friends, because I can't NOT wear this one after wearing it once. The chin buckle is simple, it feels weightless on, and the purple color is so cute. I'd highly recommend.
Very comfortable helmet, and nice color options. It is a one-size helmet, which means there's a large range for head sizes, which is convenient. My spouse has a large head, and this is the only helmet that can fit him without it hurting on the sides of his head. Other brands L/XL sized helmets are still too tight on his head, and we found this to be the only one that worked well. The downside for me is that I have a smaller head. It still fits well, but I have to tighten it so much, and it leaves an awkward-looking gap from the back of the head to the back of the helmet. This could be solved by having a smaller range of sizing, but then it would defeat the purpose of this being a one-sized product.
Seemed to sit a little back. But overall worked and served its purpose.
It's a climbing helmet, the adjustment is adequate and it fit snugly despite me having a bit of an odd shaped head from what I've found. There truthfully isn't much to say beyond that .I'm sure there are better helmets, but for the price I can only think of one thing to moan about, that being the chinstrap sits a bit far back on me. I've managed to get it into a place that isn't uncomfortable, but I haven't managed to get comfortable enough to cinch tight to have the helmet properly on my head with no risk of it moving out of place.
No matter how much I adjust this helmet, the fit is funky. It'll be tight around my forehead but still loose around the crown of my head. I'm a female with pretty thick hair, not sure if males will have better luck.
First just a huge fan of Mammoth stuff. Great gear, high quality and has a good look to it. This is a good helmet for climbing, biking, and honestly if you aren't worried about fashion on the jobsite can get away with it on some low key sites. The chin strap gets you points with the safety crew. But note it is not TYPE 2, so no help on that. Just type 1 and EN 12492. All good and Mammoth keep making cool stuff!
I work full time in a harness and require a climbing helmet. The helmets have to be high-vis red or orange. This was perfect for what I need. Great for year round use, lots of adjustment room for different seasons and layers!! I have taken minor side and axial hits during working hours and it has protected me from what could be a serious injury! Highly recommend this helmet !
One of the most basic helmets. Does what it is supposed to, just does not last long. Have not had it for a year, and the adjustor in back is broken already. The foam padding started coming out shortly after using it. I would still recommend as a beginner helmet, just as a placeholder until another helmet is acquired.
