    I bought this helmet for Search & Rescue use, and it’s great. I have a large head and this is the only helmet I’ve tried that fits me comfortably. The vents are a plus, too for comfort. I’ve added a removable visor to the front (have to remove it for use around helicopters). All around, a great helmet for SAR use, and well worth the premium money.

    This helmet fits great. Very comfortable. Better than others I have worn.
    The closeable vent is great for air movement when it is hot. When the wind is blowing, you can close the vent to get rid of the whistling sound you get with open vent helmets. The adjustable headband is one of the easiest to work with and it is built to last.
    The helmet works very well with headphones.
    I would recommend this helmet to anyone who wants a great helmet for climbing or mountain rescue work .

    This is a great helmet.It adusts really well and is very comfortable.I recentely took a 20′+ fall and the helmet took a beating but my head came through fine. The suspension system is much superior to a foam filled helmet but you do gain a few ounces of weight which for me was not a factor.Overall a very goog helmet that I would not hesitate to recomend to a friend
