A Real Life Saver - and standard in climbing safety Mar 25, 2011
By applewood
Another reviewer here covered this helmet in detail - for general climbing/mountaineering/caving it's the standard. Heavier than the newer non-suspension (foam lined) styles, but MUCH more durable (I've heard of foam-lined helmets cracking from just being squished under a day pack - yikes! That's an expensive slip-up).
So, here's my short personal story which shows why I don't climb or belay without a helmet (and am amazed so many people still do). Years ago I was dropped by my partner while being lowered from a sport route - for a variety of reasons the back-up knot had been undone during the climb - and I ended up doing a backwards swan-dive, free falling over 35' to the ground, on to rock, head first. I survived - my Ecrin Roc got a hole in it (but for head injuries I only ended up unconscious with a concussion and gash in my scalp) - it truly saved my life. When I started climbing again, the first thing I did was get myself another Ecrin Roc (after considering the foam-lined ones, briefly). Today, when it comes time to get my daughter her first helmet I get her an Ecrin Roc (after considering the foam-lined ones, briefly).

Excellent safety gear Sep 09, 2010
By Lloyd De Jongh
This helmet has been around a while, and is no longer the epitome of style. It is however still popular and going strong. In South Africa I was involved in the Cape Town Wilderness Search and Rescue team, often doing rescues on Table Mountain.
The Ecrin Roc is the default choice for the rescue services and climbing professionals, and thus has influenced a large number of amateur and volunteer climbers and rescue mountaineers/climbers. It is sturdy, reliable, comfortable and just lasts and lasts.
It is heavy, especially compared to newer helmets. If I were to buy a new helmet it would be the Petzl Meteor III, however if I were to go into rough terrain or caving, rather than sport climbing, where a helmet might take a beating or some rough treatment, it would be the Ecrin Roc coming with me.
It is adjustable, well ventilated, and trusted. When hiking it can be awkward to have its weight dangling from a pack, however it's not a train smash, though do note you do notice its weight - whether on your pack or head.
Still, it is default rescue and training gear because it just doesn't quit. I own it, recommended.
Fits well and will last and last Oct 20, 2011

I got my Ecrin Roc for caving. It's comfortable, durable adjustable and you can easily attach multiple head lamps to it. I'm sure i'll be using it for years to come.

This helmet is made by Petzl. That's all I have to say. But I will say more. This helmet feels nice while you wear it and adjusts easily to accomodate different sized heads by turning gears on either side. The chin strap is adjustable as well and feels fine. It's a good helmet.

It saved my head Jan 25, 2009
By J. Hanson
Petzl Ecrin Roc Climbing Helmet
I found one of these helmets in a thrift shop with the chin straps cut off. I was using it while driving 5 foot stakes into the ground with a 30 pound stake pounder. Unfortunately, the pounder came off the top of the stake and whacked my helmeted head quite hard. The helmet popped off my head but I walked away from the accident with no apparent concussion. The top of the helmet shows a scrap mark but no cracks.
