BLACK DIAMOND Half Dome Rock Climbing Helmet

This helmet is comfortable, lightweight, visually appealing, and at a great price. I can’t comment of the durability just yet, but thanks to the delivery from Amazon, it’s already aged like a fine wine.My package arrived late, in a taped up and misshaped resemblance of a cardboard box, and appears to have been delivered by Ace Ventura himself after being kicked down the street and closed in the door once or seventeen times.Every other helmet I’ve owned wants you to replace it after a big impact of some kind. By the looks of box this thing came in and how the packaging inside that box looks, it should probably head straight back for the warehouse it came from for warranty replacement. Unfortunately, I need to use this tomorrow (thankfully it arrived late but ‘on time’ still) and don’t have the time to return it and get a replacement that isn’t scraped and scarred like I’ve been climbing with Alex Honnold for the last few years.This is not an issue with Black Diamond and the quality of their product, this thing is bomber and looks really sweet. Amazon in the other hand, if you need tonight see more than a roll of packing tape to fix a box that has been destroyed and it’s contents falling out, cut your losses and send a new item to your customer. I would have been embarrassed to deliver this package if I was the driver. Maybe that’s why he delivered it to the wrong house, thankfully I have good neighbors and this thing is ready to protect my head from whatever is falling from above.

Great helmet!

Popular brand. I’ve owned one more like it before this purchase. Seems well-made and will be good for protection.

Purchased for protection during underground mine exploration. Once received I fitted it to my head and installed a Fenix HM61R with strap.I'm very impressed with the fit and finish on this helmet. I opted for the blue model, and the color is exactly as pictured.Helmet is very well made, comfortable, and I really like that it features tabs to hold the headlamp strap in place. I wore this one for about 6 hours underground last weekend and had no issues with discomfort or bad fitment. Saved my noggin on a couple of low hanging walls.Please note: I HIGHLY recommend opting for the Med/Large size if you're an adult. I originally tried the Small/Med size because my measurement was in that range and the helmet sat way too high on my head. I exchanged for the Med/Large model and the fit and adjustability was perfect.Definitely recommend this helmet at this price.

Perfect outdoor climbing helmet - a bit pricey but worth the investment

Well designed and a clean attractive build. Size S/M has excellent fit on my size 7 head. Dial-in fit nice. Secure, stable and comfortable. Rigid foam liner about 1.13" at crown and .5" at sides. No gap between liner and shell. Not overtall on head. Foam padding velcrowed so removeable to wash. Straps riveted, liner appears removeable. If a light mounted, its strap covers 7 vent holes. Actual weight 12 oz (341 g), not the claimed 9 (-1 star).

I just used this helmet for the first time. I spent a full day wearing it on a long climb with no issues. It is lightweight, breathable, and adjustable for the size. And it looks good for the pictures! I recommend this helmet.

We used this the first week after it was purchased and it already saved me from what could have been a pretty significant injury in Colorado.
