Value Rating: 10 Durability Rating: 9 Overall Rating: 10 Location of Test: Oregon and Washington climbing Duration of Test: 3 months Product Name: Half Dome Climbing Helmet Product Brand: Black Diamond Best Use: Rock climbing Black Rock half Dome Climbing Helmet The Full Review: The Half Dome helmet by Black Diamond is an easy choice when picking climbing helmets. You also get a surprising value for the price! The first thing I noticed was how easy this helmet is to adjust. There is a little knob in the back that you twist to tighten or loosen the helmet. It can really fit a wide variety of head sizes because of it. The second thing I liked about it was that its pretty darn light. Once I've got it on my head and am climbing, I quickly forget about it. There is nothing more frustrating than being on a climb and being distracted by the cumbersome helmet on your head. Black Rock half Dome Climbing Helmet Another thing I really like about this helmet is the overall durability. This plastic can take abuse over and over. Now, this does not mean that if you take a bit hit to the head you should keep using it. Like any helmet, you should inspect it and decide for yourself. But compared to some of the other foam-based helmets on the market these aren't going to be damaged as quickly for smaller impacts.
The Good: -Light -Comfortable -Easy adjust -Good price -Durable -Wide range of adjustability The Bottom Line: The bottom line is the Black Diamond Half Dome is an easy pick for an all-around climbing helmet. It's light, comfortable, easy to adjust and is a really good value for the price.
