Elios Helmet

Comments about Petzl Elios Helmet:

An 'adequate' helmet is required by my SAR organization and the Elios Helmet exceeds that definition at a fair price.

nothing has hit me in the head so far so good the chin strap feels tight not much room for adjustment or maybe I have a big head???

Elios Orange came out of the box fitting with just a minor turn of the knob. When I ordered a helmet, I was concerned about the fit because my head is a large 23" in circumference. I need to use a skull cap in colder conditions--I had room to spare with the large! What's more, the adjustment of the band size was so easy that I removed the skull cap as many times as I needed without hassle and frustration of resizing! Color was true to picture! Materials are rugged and tough but very light and almost unnoticeable on my head.

Comments about Petzl Elios Helmet:

Just great. My previous one was very uncomfortable and not really adjustable, so I didnt wear it. This one is no problem to wear, very lightweight: I put it on and forget about it, and that is what I wanted! Highly adjustable; there are two sizes, not just one.I use it on rockclimbs, short or long, with potential upside down falls.[...].

I bought this helmet for the accessory "Vizion" face shield which worked out well but was unnecessarily difficult due to poor instructions. The adjustability of the Envios helmet is incredible and ensures a custom no slip fit and the chin strap seems to be pinch proof.

The design and fit ajustment is excellent although it took some getting used to it versus what I've had. However, I bought the Elios for the visor feature which turned out to be an accessory and which then had very poor instructions for what should have been an easily descibed "Vizion" assembly. It's obvious how to do it but the trick is that you need to press down much harder on the visor tab, not the three position hinge assembly, than you think you should before turning it into position. The visor protective and anti-fog coatings installation and positioning quality is less than it should be as is of visibility through these two films. However, the protection afforded by the combined helmet and visor is excellent and this is what I was hoping to find.

Good lightweight helmet, vents well and had easy adjustability. However, the cushioning isn't the softest, unfortunately.

This is an easily adjustable helmet. I've forgot it was on my head during glacier climbs. It fits much better then the Ecrin Roc because of the oval shape. I like it.
