In words

Intro
This is one of the best helmets available for climbing and ski touring. It's a bit borderline for touring, since it doesn't have CE EN 1077 certification, but it is certified by the manufacturer for ski mountaineering. Minimalist and lightweight — it almost feels like you're not even wearing a helmet — it's perfect for fast and light outings or for intensive training, where every ounce counts. It features a hybrid construction, with a rigid EPS liner injected in the EPP outer shell, and has ample ventilation, which makes it a great helmet for a warm day. The magnetic buckle is also nice.
