This superlight helmet has been designed for extremes and offers the ultimate protection. A brilliant trad or sport climbing model that's robust enough for winter ice as well, the Focus is a superb choice.

You say it's "Superlight" but don't give a weight? =o)

Can't say I'm particularly enamoured with the looks, almost like kids bike helmet, but where's the weight figure? Can't see it on the WC site either.

It's rather lardy compared to the Scirocco

Looks like something in between Petzl Sirroco and BD Vector. Is it just me (i.e. not British) who never liked Wild Country? I am not talking about descriptions (for example, superlight and ultimate in protection?!), but their products always seem to be somewhat in between high-end and low-end goods, but with a high price tag.

Good spot. Wild Country = Vauxhall; Salewa = General Motors.

220g it says here: http://www.urbanrock.com/Focus-helmet

RRP £80. High-end price for mid-range product sounds about right.
