"pretty good helmet" 		          01/11/10
It feels pretty solid and safe, and it holds onto my headlamp quite well, but it's a bit on the sweaty side. A more traditional helmet, with more room between the dome and your head might be better if that is the sort of thing that bothers you.

"This is a great climbing helmet for any number of climbing situations." 		          12/08/09
Having a solid helmet like this is mandatory when rappelling. It is comfortable to wear and has a no nonsense design with functionality closely followed by beauty. The headlamp strap works great and holds my lamp perfectly. Great helmet. The only drawback I've found is the chin strap. So I have a big head. Maybe like a horse. The straps on this at full extension, would not connect without some serious discomfort. For larger heads, you may want to try it on before ordering. In the end I contacted BD and had them send me a bit of strap and new buckles so I could extend it and they did, no questions asked. They didn't even ask me why the long face.

"You want something that'll take a hit and hold long enough to get you home" 		          11/21/09
Light-weight foam moulded helmets have become the style. Most (Petzl Meteor, BD Tracer) will handle a small rockfall and/or big bash - great for crags. But say you're working a new Rupal Face project on Nanga and take a hit - you want something that won't just disintegrate. This fella is a good option. Modest price, can take a couple hits and still hold together long enough to get you home. Note though to destroy and replace the thing when you're back safe from the epic. Consider that darker colours attract lots of sun on the glaciers. If it gets a lot of sun, replace every 5 years as per manufacturers' instructions.

"Save your noggin" 		          10/19/09
I recently took a bad climbing fall and had to be evac'ed to the hospital. Both I and others on the scene believe that if I had not been wearing a helmet, the consequences would have been fatal. I will be replacing that grey Half Dome with another Half Dome. The new one will be in orange, as I have noticed that color has the added ability to attract hummingbirds.

"Sweet Deal" 		          10/15/09
Definitely one of the cheaper models out on the market, but still looks and feels great. Protects your head great, and is easily adjustable to fit most head sizes. The only thing about this helmet I don't like, is that it collects a lot of sweat, so I would recommend wearing a bandanna before using this helmet on a climb. Sweet deal.

"Good to GO" 		          09/29/09
I have a bald head and it's comfortable to wear. Adjusts easily enough. I don't think I have a big head, but the chin strap is bottomed out. Thankfully it fit perfectly at that point. The "grey" color is more a blue color than grey. I bought my wife one and it fits her tiny head just fine as well. Give me more MOOSEJAW stickers to put on them!!!!!

"I like that it's purple and cheap." 		          09/16/09
I got this because of the price. And also because it comes in this awesome lavender color. The guys I climb with don't take me seriously anymore, so maybe I should have rethought that one, but still, lavender is pretty cool, if you are a girl. Also, it protected me from a small rock once already and from hitting my head against the side of a door when I was showing it to my friends at my house. So it's a good investment for climbers and non-climbers alike.

"Great helmet for the price!" 		          08/26/09
Good comfortable helmet that is easy on the old wallet. This thing is able to adjust to fit any size noggin and is strong enough for just about anything from falling carabiners to konkin in caves!

"head is still in one piece" 		          08/18/09
Lightweight, comfy, and does what it's supposed to do. It's a bit jarring when objects from above land on your head, but my head is still whole, so I guess it worked. A little more padding would be nice, but that would add bulk, so maybe not such a good idea. My girlfriend still claims I'm dumber, even though I had the helmet on and since she's always right, I suppose I have to believe her.
