"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."
"It is so comfy and it fits perfectly on my big head!"
"Bought the same size as my old BD helmet and could barely fit it on my head. Significantly smaller -- might want to try this exact model on at a store before purchasing."
"I'm very pleased with the fit and feel of this helmet. I bought it to be used mainly on more technical scramble sections while peak bagging. It fits well over my light balaclava on colder days and the headlamp clips are nice for those alpine starts."
"Fits well and easy to adjust plus it’s super lightweight."
"I’ve had this helmet for three years. No falls where it’s been tested, but it’s comfortable, stylish, and has handled all the normal wear and tear like a champ."
"So amazing it stays on my head perfectly and doesn't move unlike my old helmet. It's super light and you won't notice it on your head or in your pack. The exposed foam is far more robust than it looks."
"Lightweight and comfortable. Doesn't hinder any visibility for me. Adds quite a bit vertically to my head so looks a little funny but the green color is very nice. I recommend gluing to the foam inserts as they very quickly fell out when I didn't notice and I had to replace with spare inserts from another helmet (not sure if Vision came with extras but couldn't find them."
