Best Canyoneering Helmet....

[tanya]

It was not bad wearing the helmet, but I think I need white! Being an insomniac my eyes are always really bloodshot and the helmet makes it worse! I also kept hitting the thing on rocks where I never hit my head. I am not use to that little extra I suppose.

Would be glad to get you a white one when you give me the word! The Ropes that Rescue Sticker will cost an arm and a leg though

But I like that sticker!!!!

But I like that sticker!!!!

What does it say? I can only read RESCUE.

If you get a white helmet we will no longer match in the canyons. I'll be the last of the red M&M's

You and Bo would still match since it's his SAR helmet.


That could be a dangerous sticker to wear on my helmet. Make me one okay.


This is probably the best one to read the sticker since there is no flash on the helmet.

No problem! If you want to match Ice though...just keep the red helmet and buy me a new one someday. I really dislike the helmet I wore sunday, and had to use yesterday on the rescue

I want one!!!

Oh wait.... I forgot we are supposed to be serious.... no funny stickers allowed on canyoneering helmets.

Jumar has a Bullseye paint on the top of his helmet. I like that one also....

I'm a fan of the Petzl Elios. My wife had a half dome, and hated it. The straps were a pain to adjust etc. On the other hand, my sister has a BD helmet and likes it a lot.

I think Bo had sticker envy and took back the red helmet. Now I am stuck with the half dome one too. ~sniffle~ I will check it out in the next canyon we do and give it the pain review or the thumbs up.

Bringing up an old thread that is applicable to the question I am going to ask. Because I ain't a forum noob!

Is this a good helmet? It is listed in this thread and looks like an affordable solid option. FWIW, it is the #1 top seller on Amazon : http://www.amazon.com/gp/product/B00...SIN=B000EWWZRU

*Still looking for contest prize options...

Yep, the BD half done, uhh, I mean half dome is a great helmet. Just ordered one m'self.

If I could afford to consume helmets, I'd wear the disposible Petzl Meteor III for sure.

[tanya]

But please don't take Tanya with you - she's got kids that need her!

Now that it is fully done...

I like the Petzl Elios better. It seems to fit my head better.

On sale at Moose Jaw might be previous-year's version, which do not have as nice an adjustment mechanism.

Shane, there is a good example of my dumb ass mistake right in your own book "Canyoneering Tales" called Behunin Fall, that was my last canyon without a helmet other than Little Wildhorse with the kids and canyons like them Peekapoo and such.. Getting seven staples in my noggin during spring break in St George was brutal. I slipped down an incline and hit my head several times as I tumbled down, 10 years later I still hear the knocks on my head.. kind of like a car wreck you remember the sound like the one from when I was 8 years old.. If I had a helmet on I would have just done a few summersaults got up and moved on.. I had no other injuries except the spilt in me head... I have 5 different helmets for my hobbies and always wear them.
