Petzl Elios Climbing Helmet
Blending the best of durability and weight, the Petzl Elios Climbing Helmet is excellent for multipurpose mountain endeavors. The polycarbonate shell and impact-absorbing closed cell foam liner is long lasting, lightweight, and doesn't feel like a milk bucket after 17hrs on route. Highly aerated with ten vents, a single wheel-ratchet at the back allows for easy adjustment along with a quick tab buckle chinstrap. Four headlamp clips help keep your mountain perspective when your watch runs on to 28hrs after a descending miscue. Whether climbing rock, ice, or mixed alpine terrain the Elios is the quintessential noggin protector.

good equipment for the price
I have had several helmets over the years(I won't mention names)and have paid twice the price for virtually the same quality helmet. I bought this one for my 12 year old Boy Scout for his first new helmet. I am also a climb instructor for the Scouts. the adjustability is as good as my higher priced helmet and is quite comfortable and very light. he had it on his head for the first time last week. 4 hours of climbing with no problem. temperature was mid to upper 80's and he said the circulation was good. I would recomend this definatly for the price.

A high quality for a good price.
I'm rather a big gay, so I bought size 2 (bigger one). I feel comfortable in it but it looks too small.
