Bottom Line | This helmet performs well across the board, making it our favorite helmet for any kind of climbing | One of the lightest, most comfortable, and most enjoyable climbing helmets to wear | This excellent lightweight helmet nearly matches the performance of the top contenders, but lacks a perfect fit | A great helmet at an unbeatable value, it strikes a balance between low weight and durability | A beefed up version of our one of our favorite helmets, but with MIPS technology added in |
