HELMETS
Product Description Review Rating By
Petzl Ecrin Roc This is the classic Petzl helmet, the standard for mountaineering, climbing and caving. Extremely durable, this helmet can withstand the harsh conditions and rough treatment that are often encountered in the high mountains or deep caves.
* Injection molded polycarbonate shell for protection and durability
* Easy-to-use adjustment wheels dial in headband and nape strap size for an extremely comfortable fit, even while the helmet is being worn
* Chin strap position adjusts forward or backward
* Well ventilated with 14 holes
* Headlamp attachment with 4 optimally placed clips
* 2 thicknesses of foam bands included for customized fit.
I have personally used this type of helmet for 15 years. During this time, I have had opportunities to use other helmets. None of them matched up to the comfort or usability of the Ecrin Roc. 5 Stars Brian Alger
