Reviews overview
Praise vs. Criticism
OK
I have only used it in lower risk activities and it is comfortable. I don't know how it would behave in case of an accident, but I hope it does well from the looks of it and the visual quality of the materials it is made of.
- Advantages
- Easy to adjust
- Price / performance
- Fits well
- Comfortable
- Lightweight
- Recommended use
- All around
Far heavier than advertised
So, the stated weight here is 295g, the helmet is 360g however.
Apart from that issue the fit is quite tight compared to other BD helmets of the same size I have had in the past.
Definitely more suited to sport climbing that alpinism.
- Advantages
- Good venting
- Disadvantages
- Bad fit
- Recommended use
- Beginner
- Via ferrata
- Sport climbing
