Best climbing helmet!!!

This is the lightest most comfortable helmet I’ve ever put on period. I’ve had a couple different people try it on and everyone of them ended up getting the same helmet. It is so light that it almost feels fragile but I’ve worn it for multiple days all day up and down long climbs and long approaches and it doesn’t get in the way at all. Couldn’t recommend it enough. I feel like the size is accurate and I have a pretty big head and still leaves room for a beanie if needed. Doesn’t get in the way of vision whatsoever and doesn’t move around while climbing. Won’t buy any other brand of climbing helmet.

Best fitting climbing helmet I have tried

Best fitting climbing helmet on the market by far. I have a larger head, and this is the only climbing helmet I have tried that fits correctly for me. The fit is also very pretty adjustable you can easily loosen it to accommodate a balaclava for use on alpine routes and while skiing. It's also way lighter than comparable options from other brands and looks way cooler.

Best Fit Climbing Helmet on the market.

If you have a larger head this helmet is the only climbing helmet that will fit you. I used a variety of petzl and BD ones for years that stuck like a foot off of my head. This one fits perfectly and is lighter!
