My 2nd One - Not the Last
By WebhikerVerified Reviewer from PA on 5/12/2007
Pros:
Highly Adjustable
Cons:
Wears Easily
Best Uses:
Ice climbing
Describe Yourself:
Avid Climber
Bottom Line:
Yes, I would recommend this to a friend

Used it for two seasons until I broke it stuffing my helmet in my pack at the end of the season. It has saved my face innumerable times from exploding ice and ice fall from my tools. I couldn't wear goggles without fogging and eye glasses didn't protect my face. It's the hot lick.

 
Won't climb without it
By TCS from Anchorage, AK on 3/19/2007
Pros:
Highly Adjustable
Best Uses:
Outdoor
Describe Yourself:
Avid Climber
Bottom Line:
Yes, I would recommend this to a friend

I can't believe I'm the only person I know who uses this thing. I never get cuts on my face, which was routine before. Maybe I am just an ice basher, but I will not climb ice without it now. It also works great when dodging shrapnel on belay.

Installation required drilling into my helmet (The Elios), but it was pretty easy. Anti-fog coating still works pretty well into my second season with it.
