Merriwether, Foraging Texas
Reviewed in the United States on March 9, 2025
I picked this up for head protection while outdoor rock climbing. It's fairly light weigh and doesn't get in the way when I'm wearing it. The plastic shell seems a little thin, unlike the thicker plastic of the well-known brand Black Diamond, which some of my friends wear. It'll probably stop a baseball-sized rock from hurting me, if dislodged by the climber close above me.I have an average-sized head and it fits it well, but I did have to play around quite a bit with the straps to get it fitting properly. Once set, the setting seem to stay, without any creeping loosening occurring. It does have good ventilation and the unique feature of fine mesh in the top ventilation holes. The mesh is to prevent smaller rocks, gravel, and other debris from entering through to vents.This helmet is fine if you aren't a hardcore rock tramp but if you're out there multiple days every week you might consider spending more money on a name brand with a strong reputation.

This is a perfectly serviceable climbing helmet, it feels well-made, finish and fittings are good quality but not exceptional. As it was designated for caving, I was expecting it to be a bit closer fitting than it actually was -- it adds about 1.5 inches to my height. I ordered it to wear while mowing the grass underneath my cacao trees, some of the branches are a bit low and have a tendency to sneak up on me and bonk my melon. My head is now better protected, but I guess I will have to prune those branches anyway.I like that this helmet is not nearly as bulky as most bike helmets, and it has an adjustable head strap instead of removable pads. It feels very light weight , and has adequate ventilation.
