Review:
After using my Salewa Vert helmet for many years, I was looking for a helmet that is lighter to wear as well as provide better mount points for a head lamp. Since one of my friends already had the same Petzl helmet and he was quite happy with it, I picked one up in the store as well. The helmet delivers what it promises - light and comfortable to wear, good mount points for most types of headlamps, adjustable size and good all round protection. Only minor annoyance I found is the plastic head support piece at the backside that has the tendency to slip up while it feels more comfortable and supportive when it is pulled further down (where it should be).
Pros:
- Light-weight
- Comfortable
- Good mount points for head lamps
- Adjustable size
Cons:
- Plastic support frame/piece at the back of the head does not stay in place and tends to slip upwards.
Comment:
Good helmet for general climbing, abseiling, canyoning and caving use.
