SUPRISINGLY GOOD. CAN BE FIDDLY TO FIT!

Light as a feather (seriously)
Lots of ajustability for the little bits that anoy you.
Also this is a small downside. it takes a while to get right.
However when you do get it right. it's right every time you put it on!

NOW THERE'S NO EXCUSE FOR NOT WEARING A LID

Fully adjustable
Comfortable
Good area of protection
Lightweight, but not sacrificing protection
Range of colours - if you want to make wearing one of these even cooler
Quite pricey
Not as light as other lids
Ventilation
Great for all kinds of climbing, winter or summer - no excuse for not wearing one now. Even for sport routes. If you're out with a group, it's distinctive look and colour help you to stand out, so others know who to blame...

WELL DESIGNED HELMET WITH SURPRISINGLY GOOD VENTILATION

Very easy to fit with the adjuster wheel, which doesnt feel tacky or fragile as with some of the other brands latest designs. Ventilates really well considering it has such small vent holes. Feels protective. Doesn't look too bad.
The plastic on the sides feels slightly flimsy in places (though not on the key areas). Relatively expensive helmet.
Excellent for all day wear, really comfortable and easy to adjust design with great venting. I use mine climbing in all weathers and at day in day out work on a high ropes course for extended times and it's easy to forget I'm wearing it.

A GOOD HELMET TO KEEP YOUR HEAD SAFE

I have had mine for about a year now and have found it great.
It keeps your head safe offering a higher level of protection than ultra light weight helmets.
It fits well and comfortably with good ventilation, I hardly notice I wearing it.
The size can easily be adjusted even wearing glove to put a hat on underneath etc.
The build quality is to the high Grivel standards.
It could have more ventilation and be lighter but this can be said about any helmet.
It cost more than many other helmets.
I always wear mine whilst climbing and have worn it for long days in the summer and winter.
