Super light, comfortable 6 strap suspension system inside the helmet, within 10 minutes I forgot I was wearing it. Couldn't say the same for the Ecrin Roc, my "runner up" choice.
Easy size adjustment that easily accomodates even my thickest windblock fleece hat.
Survives 10 falls on the CE penetration test, best in the market.
All in all seems like a great helmet made even sweeter by being on sale for 33% off!!

I have two of these and they are a real nice, small locker. Easy to carry on your harness for those "Just in case" moments.

Size is a little small and out of proportion but it has a great round diameter and the no-pin design eliminates the frustration of the hook geeting caught on gear loops or slings etc.
My primary belay biner, and overall I like it, just wish it came in a size like the Omega Jake

Been using the Jaws for just about two years now and hav not had a single issue with it. I'm a heavy guy, 240 lbs., and everyone who has ever belayed me using the jaws side appreciates the extra bite. I also appreciate the grip for myself when on rappel. Yet, it still releases easily and feeds rope smoothly when asked.
Overall for the weight and functionality I would say it doesn't miss a trick
