A high quality for a good price. I'm rather a big gay, so I bought size 2 (bigger one). I feel comfortable in it but it looks too small.

good equipment for the price I have had several helmets over the years(I won't mention names)and have paid twice the price for virtually the same quality helmet. I bought this one for my 12 year old Boy Scout for his first new helmet. I am also a climb instructor for the Scouts. the adjustability is as good as my higher priced helmet and is quite comfortable and very light. he had it on his head for the first time last week. 4 hours of climbing with no problem. temperature was mid to upper 80's and he said the circulation was good. I would recomend this definatly for the price.
