Reviewers call the Vision one of the most comfortable climbing helmets they've worn: light, well ventilated and durable enough for guides, with a headlamp attachment and goggle strap. They use it for sport, ice and alpine climbing and ski touring. The main critique is sizing, which runs small for some, plus a few notes about the adjustment mechanism feeling delicate or pressing on the ears.

"Does everything you need it to do! Relatively lightweight and reliable. Would recommend."
"Adjustable sizing makes it easy to get tight. resistant to damage as well in a stuffed bag"
"Well I sent ancient art and it’s saved my noggin from the Little Rock’s that came down at me"
"I find the helmet to be very comfortable while wearing it for a long duration of time. My only wish is that it was easier to adjust the sizing while it was on my head. Besides that, it is a fantastic product and has been great whenever I had to use it."
"Fits great and forget it is on my head, what more is there to say."
"Quality helmet. Definitely runs small. Would recommend trying on before buying"
"its a nice piece of headwear. Ive always used the vapor, the lightest one, this one feels significantly more sturdy but just about as comfortable."
"Not a huge ban of this helmet - ventilation isn't great and the fit feels loose on the head. Hard to micro adjust with gloves on when I need a slightly tighter/looser fit. Wouldn't recommend, there's better helmets out there for the price."
"Bought (3) of these helmets from my wife, my son and myself. So far super comfortable when wearing all day."
"Great helmet. Light and good ventilation. Fits my head well and looks good."
