Here's what other sites are saying:

From Campmor:
"The Tracer is a classic climbing hard hat...only better. Still super durable, the all new Half Dome features the quick-adjust system and recessed headlamp clips. For protection it combines a rigid shell, EPS liner and fully adjustable suspension with a padded brow strap. CE certified. Weight: 12.4oz"

From Backcountry.com:
"Protect your melon on your next climbing trip with the comfortable, adjustable, low-profile Black Diamond Half Dome Helmet. Whether you just shaved your head before a trip to the desert or you're wearing the thickest stocking hat you own, this helmet perfectly fits your head thanks to a one-hand adjustment knob. A simple twist makes the Half Dome Helmet's circumference bigger or smaller to match your headwear or hair style. Its low-profile design keeps the dork factor down when you're at the crags, and may save you from getting your head stuck in an offwidth one day."

From Oregon Mountain Community:
"Totally re-designed, the Black Diamond Half Dome is a low-profile helmet that combines a rigid shell, EPS liner and a new micro-adjust suspension system for a great fit and one-handed adjustability. The Black Diamond Half Dome is lightweight, never obscures your vision and its sculpted shell offers durable head coverage and protection. Available In: Gray Metallic Blue Orange White"

"I have used this a dozen times rock climbing over the past 2 months. It is really lightweight and easily adjustable. I use it while lead climbing as well as belaying. Winter hats fit under it well and it can quickly be adjusted between climbers.

It's not a suspension helmet so I don't know how well it protects you from falling objects."

"I like this helmet because it is light and unobtrusive: you forget you're wearing it (mine is 2-3 years old). The classic design has good coverage for temples and back of the head. The slots hold a headlamp well. At first I didn't like the velcro adjustment at the back of the head, but now that I'm used to it and have it fitted, it's much better than the ratchet type and foam screws on some Petzls etc."

"This is a great low cost lightweight climbing helmet. Good if you casually use a helmet. There are better (Petzl) helmets, but you can't beat the price!"
