Petzl Elios Helmet | Petzl Elios Helmet
4.5 out of 5 based on 46 user reviews.
Cred: 2509 | | simple light and adjustable. Good ventilation. Wear a helmet, the time will come when you need it! Mine has kept a few hundred pounds of ice (not all at one time) and a few flying rocks away from my head, and still going strong. |

Cred: 601 | | Great way to save IQ points. The Elios is light, easily adjusted, and well ventilated. I rarely notice I have it on while climbing. With helmets like this around why aren't more people using them? |
| A little pricey if not on sale. |
|
Cred: 2643 | | Light weight, holds a headlamp really well. chin straps are comfortable. Works well for climbing, canyoneering, and caving. |
| The adjustment thing on the back hurts the little bump on the back of my head if I wear it for a long time. But thats probably just me. |

| Great ventilation. Fits a wide range of head sizes, so I can wear it over a hat on a cold day. Easy to buckle/un-buckle in a hurry. Plastic piece on end of strap so it won't feed all the way out of buckle. |

|
Cred: 4460 | | Comfortable helmet with decent vents and good head lamp attachment. |
| Plastic tightening system gets bent out of shape in duffel bag and loose the fit. |

Cred: 468 | | Super easy to adjust, and comfy. |
| Make sure it's adjusted right or it will flop around on your head. Also tends to slip a little when you get sweaty. |

| Black Diamond makes a helmet...try both on first to see what you like |
|
Cred: 233 | | Lightweight, adjustable, relatively cheap. Arguably the best helmet. |
| Straps can sometimes get in the way of your ears |
| NOT Ecrin. Probably Meteor, as it's lighter. |
|
Cred: 240 | | Comfortable, easy to adjust, pretty light. |
| Could probably use some more ventilation (I sweat like a pig in it) |
|
Cred: 332 | | Used for caving and climbing - no brain damage so far. Great helmet. Lightweight - clips around side are great for holding a headlamp. |
| Warm helmet - sweat like crazy in a cave. |
|
Cred: 392 | | Light weight, Awesome summer ventilation and easy to tape up in the winter to keep warm. A breeze to adjust on the fly if wearing a hat underneath. So comfy i forget I'm wearing it |
|
Cred: 12 | | after 5 minutes i always forget I'm wearing it. |
| it always slips off on overhanging routes |
|
Cred: 26 | | light,fits well, a lot of adjusments, mount point for a headlamp and suck |
| i got it in black so it gets pretty hot ootherwise ok |
|
Cred: 9 | | Super light and very comfortable, not to mention it protects your melon quite nicely. |
| It's a little moody getting the fit dialed in just right, but once you've got it set, it fits great. |
