Can I get an opinion re: helmets 9-Nov-2011 At 9:35:30 AM jrc

Feisty words today Wendy, but it did read a bit epic!

People who know me tell me I am the world's worst helmet (non) wearer. I hate the things with a passion.

However, My son just got donged on the front of his head in the wolgan the other day when he looked out from under an overhang at some abseilers so we had a bit of a family helmet review. He has a nice light blu one but it wasn't on his head when he got hit-fortunately a glancing blow but it stilld rew blood. Ended up me getting this lurid petzl job from mtn equipment but it is (feels) SUPER light and more importantly it does not push down on my ears and i cannot see it at all when its on. Elios i think. Wore it all day Sunday almost without noticing.

There is an evenlighter one in petzl's catalogue called a meteor 3. Anyway i am happy with the elios. for $90 it is cheap extra protection. And yes i am still placing pro as firmly as i ever did.
