Climbing Helmets

My swede likes to be in a Petzl Ecrin Roc..nice and cool in the summer and tough as old boots

Sorry to butt in! I also have a vertex vent, overall i'm very happy with it although it is getting a bit mingin inside (straps and liner) Does anyone know if you can buy new insides/liners?

 

Have you tried washing it? Shower and soap does the trick.

Check out pacific helmets in NZ, kevlar shell with fully replaceable insides and a shell life of 10 years. I have 2 of them. Tried the petzl and that was a piece of rubbish IMO[ATTACH]97360[/ATTACH]

 

Out of curiosity, what, in your opinion, do you find rubbish about the Petzl helmets?

The vertex adjustment system is pants! It doesn't go small enough either!

Protos Integral Arborist Helmet by Pfanner | Treegear Arborist Supplies

check out the price on it.......... i wear a stein/ kask and have found it to be very good. bit out of balance when heavy peltors are up on helmet but great when on ears

 

Holy cow! I bet McLaren don't pay that much for Jensen Button's helmets!!

Those pacific helmets are total rubbish if you ask me. My first alveo fell apart too but the 2nd generation seems to be holding up a lot better...

The Team GB cycle helmets for the road racing... bargain at £600 each

I have had my Vertex Vent for about 8 months and yesterday the adjusting wheel on the back broke off! I know 3 others this as happened to now. I know the newer ones have changed the design with the adjusters on the sides, but this is pretty poor for an £80 quid helmet. How many off you have had the same happen? Do you think its worth mentioning to the supplier to see if they will do anything? Its not like I have even turned the adjuster much.

Had my Vertex for years and no problem at all with the adjuster wheel. Definitely worth mentioning to the supplier.

Had the Kask 3 years and going strong.. will soon be washing the foam insert but that's all.
