Petzl Ecrin Roc Climbing Helmet

Petzl Ecrin Roc Climbing Helmet description

Extremely comfortable, the Petzl Ecrin Roc adjusts to any head size by adjusting wheels on the side of the shell. This is a serious mountaineering helmet, suitable for aggressive activities. The chinstrap position can be moved forward or back to fit different facial structures. Includes 2 headbands (thick foam or thin foam for even better adjustment of your helmet). Fitted with clips to hold a headlamp. One size fits all.

I purchased the Ecrin Roc, primarily because of its adjustment system. I wanted a helmet that could be quickly adjusted for different head gear in winter without glove removal. It is well made, and its only down side is the extra weight from the adjustment system.

I have owned this helmet for eon's and it still works. The fit is a tad bit off but I'm sure it's because I received this as a gift and it was a size too big. The side wheel adjustments are nice to fit it over a beanie or baseball hat but also open air. I have a hard time adjusting it laterally but it still works. I am part of the local search and rescue team and I think this is the only one we use because it's the best made out there.

This helmet has it all! It is comfortable, easy to adjust, and has great ventilation. Some climbers have commented on it being a heavy helmet but the weight doesn't bother me at all. With the helmet on I didn't really notice the difference in weight between this and the Elios or the BD Half Dome.This helmet has so far successfully deflected a few small falling rocks and a couple of bumps against the wall without any damage to the helmet.I would recommend this helmet to anyone!
