Petzl Ecrin Roc Helmet



best all around helmet
I've used the Ecrin Roc since 1999 and it is still going strong. Primarily for caving, this thing takes abuse. I initially hated the choice of Red or white, as everyone looked alike. So I painted it. I've also drilled holes to mount headlamps and integrity is still strong. What is probably best is what NO photo ever shows - the INSIDE of the helmet. The suspension system is superior to all others. It is not foam, nor flimsy plastic. It is solid and adjustable. This is why it is good. I've dragged this thing through mud, across gravel, and banged my head on the ceiling of caves countless times (it's dark in there and you are watching where you walk). I've submerged it. It always stays on tight. It isn't the lightest, but the best. I just ordered 2 from this site, for my caving club. Truthfully, I did it only because they were on sale and free shipping. But that speaks for BCS - where service is great and I feel they will be around a long time.


Best all around helmet
Just got back from climbing Thunderbolt mountain and the helmet was great. A very comfortable helmet that is very easy to adjust with the two adjustment wheels. When tempuratures dropped near the summit, the helmet easily adjusted to fit over my hat. Wore it for 14 straight hours and never thought about it -in fact I forgot to take it off when we got back to base camp. Good ventilation too. I would like to add a lightweight brim around the perimeter for sun protection.


Great protection
I am a member of an Industrial Emergency Response Team and a certified High Angle Rescue Instructor. Our team has been using the Petzl Ecrin Helmet for years and found it to be an excellent product. The helmet is light, strong, comfortable and easy to adjust. Well worth the money and a product that will really protect your pumpkin when it counts. Thank you Andy Perkonig


what a lifesaver
This is a helmet that can take a severe blow and still provide excellent protection to your dome. I can say this from experience. My girlfriend was attempting her first repel and lost control. She flipped upside-down and end up smacking the back of her head on one of the climbing mounts on the wall we were using. When she reached the bottom, she said that she was shaken but that the helmet had absorbed all the impact. In a nut shell; this helmet saved my girlfriend's life.


Great Helmet!
This helmet has it all! It is comfortable, easy to adjust, and has great ventilation. Some climbers have commented on it being a heavy helmet but the weight doesn't bother me at all. With the helmet on I didn't really notice the difference in weight between this and the Elios or the BD Half Dome. This helmet has so far successfully deflected a few small falling rocks and a couple of bumps against the wall without any damage to the helmet. I would recommend this helmet to anyone!
