The Suspension design keeps the helmet off of your head and allows for airflow above the head. The thick polycarbonate shell is very durable. Dual adjustment wheels allow for a WIDE range of adjustments and are easy to operate even with gloves or mittens on. Headlamp clips hold virtually any headlamp securely. Weight:15.7oz (445g)."

"I use this helmet for caving, as does my daughter. Major advantages include the easily adjusted straps and headband, the clips for holding a headlamp on the helmet, and the air vents.

Disadvantages--none that I know of, except that a headlamp can be pulled out of the clips by a passing rock while crawling. I have not used this helmet for rock climbing."
