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.


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


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.


Ecrin Roc
I purchased the Ecrin Roc, primarily because of its adjustment system. I wanted a helmet that could be quickly adjusted for different head gear in winter without glove removal. It is well made, and its only down side is the extra weight from the adjustment system.
