"I had a pretty wild fall on an 11B that was super overhung. Spun on the way down and hit my head, scary but if not for this little helmet I wouldn’t had a very bad day."
"Bought this to replace a Half Dome helmet from the early 2000's. Glad I did! The strap holders for cave lights are improved, as is the ventilation. Feels sturdy without being too heavy."
"Solid helmet choice. I find it more comfortable than some other models at BD. Been using it at the crag and in some southern Utah canyons. The headlamp holder is super convenient, it stays put well and protects the noggin. What else do you need?"
"Replacement for my old half dome that saved my life from icefall on Mount Hood."
"Great product."
"Great product as anticipated. The helmet fits perfectly and the adjustable strap keeps the hemet snuggly in place. Headlamps stay where they should due to the clips. The helmet is lightweight and comfortable, perfect for working in a cave environment!"
"I like the fit! Solid buy!"
"My BD headlamp integrates perfectly with this comfortable and lightweight helmet. No thrills, but it protects my noggin."
"Compact and comfortable with nice head lamp clips"
"This helmet has been great for me. Have climbed several days in it, and it's super comfy and fits my head great. I had an old-gen half dome before this, and the new one is even better."
