Half Dome Helmet
Hopefully you'll start climbing Half Dome around sunrise, because if you don't you'll definitely finish climbing after sunset. Either way, the Black Diamond Half Dome Helmet has headlamp clips as well as safety features. This helmet is Black Diamond's original, updated for more ventilation and a lower weight.

Expensive return

I always buy the stuff through Amazon because when you return something is for free and you don't need box or label. This time a bought a helmet in backcountry.com and they charge me $6 and UPS charge me $3.49 to print the label. $9.49 just to return. I bought two helmets to be sure about the size. I kept one of them. Is to much money to return a $44 helmet.

Go With a Better Helmet

I used this helmet for two years before buying the Black Diamond Vapor helmet. I wish I bought the Vapor right from the start. It's noticibly lighter, fits better, has better air circulation, and has a lower profile compared to the Half Dome helmet. The half dome fulfills it's function, but there's better helmets out there. My two cents: go with a different helmet.

Rough for glasses user but good purchase
- Familiarity:
- I've used it several times
My head size was right borderline in the middle of both sizes offered at the time of purchase. I ended up going for the bigger size(M/L) as I was wanting to use the helmet for both climbing and Ice Climbing in the winter. Works pretty great and I am still able to tighten it pretty well to my head. The only thing I would say is that it is very difficult to wear sunglasses or even normal glasses as the part that goes around the ear butts right up against a strap on the helmet.

Great Piece of Gear
- Familiarity:
- I've put it through the wringer
This helmet has saved my life multiple times. I had a fist sized rock fall from about 75 feet above me while I was belaying on a multi-pitch and it just bounced off the helmet. Thanks to this helmet, all I walked away with was a headache.
Do you have a question about this product?

Do the vents open and close for use in the rain or hot and cool days? Thank you
