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.
