"Great Helmet. I use it for alpine and rock climbing. Most of the time I don't even know that I have it on, it is that comfortable. Head lamp fits perfect on the clips. Wheel ratchet for the fit is easy to use even with gloves on.

Rock Climbing:
Pros- Light, comfortable, vents great in summer, and adjustable."
