As good as the reviews Mar 28, 2010
By Lynn Catlin
I've used this helmet for my first 2 outside ventures, and it's excellent. Very light, doesn't get too hot, and I (like others wrote) actually forgot I was wearing it. As a new climber, it gives me a good peace of mind, allowing me to continue to develop my other skills and safety practices without worrying about my noggin so much.
 Excellent product, fast delivery! Nov 09, 2009

I purchased this helmet for my son who takes climbing lessons, it is quite adjustable and can fit a child as well as an adult. This model has several improvements over previous Black Diamond half-dome helmets and we are very satisfied with our purchase.

 Should Be Called Quarter Dome Oct 14, 2010
By J-Ru
While this helmet may be appropriate in some situations, it is not, in my opinion, suitable for all types of climbing.
Specifically, the helmet has a outer shell that appears to protect a substantial portion of the climber/belayer's head, but upon closer inspection you will notice that the crushable bicycle style foam (i.e. what absorbs impact and protects your brain) is only on the top of the helmet.
The helmet may provide protection to a belayer or climber from falling objects or falling directly on top of the head, but not from font, side or rear of head impacts. So, in my opinion, there is inadequate protection for a climbing fall, especially for lead or sport climbing.
Better options for all-round (including lead & sport) climbing helmets may be the Petzl Meteor III, Metolius Safe Tech Climbing helmet, The Mammut Tripod, or the Black Dimond Tracer.
Bottom Line: this helmet only protects the top of your head, which may be adequate in some situations, but is not good for all-round climbing.

Nice, but not for big heads Aug 04, 2010
By Brett Hildenbrand
A great, adjustable helmet, but my head is at the limit of its ability.
If you've got a large head, look elsewhere!
