This is easily the best climbing helmet I've ever worn!

As soon as I put it on, I was taken aback by how incredibly lightweight and comfortable the Wall Rider is. I can forget that I'm wearing a climbing helmet while I have this on because it is so light, comfortable, and breathable. For long approaches typical of alpine climbs, shaving the weight off a more traditional (read cheaper) helmet is really nice.

This makes it much more comfortable, and feels like your head is cradled by this lightweight safety guru.

The quality of this helmet is incredible, and the price point is even better.
