Climbing and Mountaineering Helmet - Rock Grey

Strong helmet for adventure activities.

The price is fantastic for a helmet and the weight is decent and even the design on the white and blue is good. Unfortunately the comfort level is terrible, you want a helmet that you barely know is there, this is the opposite of what you want, straps and plastics just dig in to your head.

My first decathlon return.

Though I'm not a frequent road cyclist, the importance of safety, particularly visibility & impact, is paramount. Hence, apart from lightings installed to grab surrounding attentions, I also wanted to find good head protection for all-rounder situation instead of just single cycling purpose. Eventually, selected this climbing helmet as it not only protects my head with common features of cycling helmet, but also allows to secure headlamp or other devices, though may look kind of out of place with a bicycle.

B. Reviews
1. ★★★★☆ Protection (~50% head impact & ~55% sun/rain protection)
2. ★★☆☆☆ Resistance (noticed scratch marks while perusing even though specs indicated it can withstand everyday scratches)
3. ★★★★☆ Materials (build to last if well taken care)
4. ★★★☆☆ Usability (hard to put on as little room to adjust due to straps fit tightly for average head size; straps below neck may cause discomfort for fitting size; buckle might pose difficulties with gloves)
5. ★★★★☆ Colors (comes with a few colors but white is preferred as it absorbs less heat under the sun & provide higher visibility)
6. ★★★☆☆ Ventilation (14 vents vs 13.96 vents average most Decathlon SG all sports adult large helmets; as it is not vented like bicycle helmet, hence, may not be as cooling)
7. ★★★☆☆ Weight (350g vs 380.14g average most Decathlon SG all sports adult large helmets; weight may be an issue for some, especially long hours)
8. ★★★★★ Pricing ($25 vs $32.58 average most Decathlon SG all sports adult large helmets)
9. ★★★★☆ Availability (most outlets have stocks but because the outer shell does not come with covered film, difficult to find one without scratches due to others' poor handling; could have test units so that newer ones can be left untouched)
10. ★★★★☆ Ratings (most reviews gave high ratings if the above negative points are tolerable)
11. ★★★★☆ Responsiveness (staff were polite & able to guide to searched products)

Excellent fit .very sturdy. Has a slit lip great for shelding from the sun.

I've bought one before and used it for couples of time. It's light and comfortable. Very good for the price. I buy again for the new color.
The product also has CE certification. I hope Decathlon apply UIAA for the product like other Simond (Mountaineering) products.

I've bought one before and used it for couples of time. It's light and comfortable. Very good for the price. So I buy another one.

This helmet is made of two layer the outer plastic is hard if compared to bike helmets (just for reference). It has clips to fix a torch light.

I feel safer using this than a biking helmet.

durable and cheap
