In reply to Jack Geldard - Editor - UKC:
I Have a Grivel Salamander helmet that I always wear for Trad, Sport and Winter climbing.
Prior to that I had an Ecrin Roc and an HB helmet.
Pros- it's light, it is easy to adjust, it's comfortable, it has very good headtorch attachment points, it doesn't make you look too much of a fud (maybe that is debatable).
Cons- the build quality is very poor/ crap. The plastic rivet holding the adjuster wheel broke on mine necessitating a repair using finger tape. If you have a look at one you will se how flimsy that design is.
The expanded foam on the inside top of the helmet also came adrift and I had to repair that too.
If I'd still had the receipt I would have returned it. It is a nice helmet from new- but I have never had to repair a helmet before, so I couldn't recommend it really.
