CAMP USA Silver Star Climbing Helmet

Easily adjustable, extremely light on the head
This helmet was awarded the "Editors Choice" award from Climbing Magazine for good reason. It is extremely light on the head, and accomodates head lamps excellently. It is extremely light on the head. In fact, my headlamp is more noticeable on my head when hiking a long distance than this helmet is. (Note to self: time to get a new headlamp) The best feature, I think, is the extremely easy adjustements. There is only one place you have to adjust the size, and it takes care of the rest. (Of course, you can fine tune the fit of the chin straps if you desire.) This helmet is designed for both Kayaking and Climbing - so you don't have to worry about what happens to it if it gets wet... Which in the case of canyoneering a tough canyon (ie heaps) is most likely the case.


Helmet fine...BC shipped open item
I purchased this helmet to use at an Adventure Race that required it. I had to wear it for several hours, including during 3hrs of canoeing and it was comfortable enough. There is more foam in the top than I had expected and the around the ear straps are a bit annoying to adjust (never could get it to stop rubbing my ears). I'm an MTB'er so I guess I'm spoiled by helmets that are much more comfortable (and with a visor). The around the head tension worked good though. I was very disappointed and concerned to find my "new" helmet purchase in previously opened packaging. The helmet was already scuffed and there were no tags or labels in the packaging or attached. Safety equipment is not something I want to receive in a possibly "used" state but I was within a week of needing this for my race so I was stuck.


Not For Over-sized Head
If you have an oversized head, be carfeull. The length of the straps is not adjustable, so my ears stared to hurt five minutes after I put this helmet on. Anyway, I returned this product and got a Petzl helmet. It wasn't adjustable either, but the different construction provided a better experience.


Camp Silver Star Climbing Helmet
I recently purchased this item because I am a Girl Scout Challenge program instructor and facilitate Zipline and Rappeling programs. GSUSA provides Ecrin Roc Helmets for instructor use on-site, but I wanted my own. I really like the Camp Silver Star. I like that it's very lightweight. I've worn it for several hours at a time and not gotten a headache from it. The only thing that is problematic for me is that I have it adjusted as small as it will go and it's still a little loose...but I have solved that issue by wearing a bandana or something similar underneath. Chin straps are easy to adjust and I love the extra padding on the strap. I would definitely recommend this helmet.
