'Appalling helmet'

Strengths:
None

Weaknesses:
Almost dangerously poor performance

Overall:
When the BMC impact tested this helmet, they found it struggled to pass UIAA saftey standards. Black Diamond have, I believe, revised it, but it's still the worst helmet made.

'WELL THOUGH OUT HELMET '

Strengths:
weight
very good cradle system
vents that double as head torch clips
well though out design

Weaknesses:
prob not the strongest helmet out there but have had a few scrapes with mine and it has stood up so far

Overall:
Dan had obviously just read the BMC report on helmets and copied it onto the site which although useful to be aware of is not very helpful if he has had no experience of this helmet in use.
Some how I don't think Black diamond are likely to put themselves at risk by putting out sub-standard gear.
