I love this helmet as far as helmets go. I like the fact that my field of vision is not impaired nor is my hearing to the shape of this helmet.
I use it mostly in trad climbs where things are multi pitched and can get a bit sketchy.
I agree with everyone whom had @#^%!@#$ about the chin buckle and the discomfort level. But after dealing with a Kevlar helmet in the Corps Years ago this sure beats the weight and comfort level in compairison.
Hope BD modifies the strap on this unit in the near future.

This is a great harness for my little climbers. It gives me the security of knowing that they won't fall out of the harness.
It is recommened for kids whom like mine began climbing at age 3-1/2. And it is known that little one are top heavy at this age and require full body harnesses for this reason.
The boys have almost out grown wanting to use it due to the fact that they see everyone else using seat harnesses.

This is the filler of my rack although I also have BD C-4 Camalots which is now the back bone of the rack. I have from techs 00 thru 3.5.
Never had problems with them and they are easy to place and clean and I also like the fact that ranges between cams is little narrower than the BD Camalots due to the fact that I don't always have to double up on some routes. However I do like the BD's for weight and feel with their new thumb loop.
The action is good on these although not as smooth in some cases as those of the C-4's.
