Black Diamond Half Dome Helmet



Half Dome as good as they say
I have been using my Half Dome for about two years now and love this helmet. Strengths: Looks great, the headlamp tabs are easy to use and hold the lamp on very well. Good suspention and easy to adjust. weakness: The thing holds in the heat on warm days, but that is not all bad on cool days and nights. overall: A great climbing helmet. I would surely buy another.


Rocks are hard. Harder than your melon.
I wear a helmet skiing, so why not climbing, right? The half-dome feels good when it's on, because you don't notice it when it's on. It doesn't feel hot at all, because it's suspended off your head kind of like a hardhat. The size adjuster thing works really well. However, I'm deducting a point because the chin strap is a little finicky, and it also loses its adjustment if you strap the helmet to your pack for the approach.


It fit!
At first I was scared to buy an adult size helmet because I have a tiny head. I usually have to go with a kids size. After reading great reviews about this helmet, I wanted to give it a try. I was so happy that it fit. I will never have to buy another kid's helmet again!


Totally awesome crome dome
This thing feels so nice. I have used for ice, rock, glacier, and caving. The clips are totally easy to use for a head lamp and the straps to fit are easy and snug around your chin. Don't worry about bonking your head in this sweet helmet.


Also consider.. touching the ceiling
This is a plastic helmet with foam inside. The problem is that the top of the head touches the foam. There are straps which should keep some distance between head and foam but it doesn't work like that. So if impact goes shock goes straight to your head and no force is absorbed by the straps. For my head the helmet slides a bit too easily.
