Bottom Line:

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.

 
Easily adjustabe excellent secure fit
By LawBen from Sunnyside, Washington on 1/27/2008
Sizing:
Feels true to size
Pros:
Accessory visor big plus, Breathable, Comfortable, Highly Adjustable, Lightweight, Rugged
Cons:
Visor assembly tricky
Best Uses:
Ice, Long Climbs, Outdoor, Sprint Climbs
Describe Yourself:
Casual/ Recreational
Bottom Line:
Yes, I would recommend this to a friend

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.

Pros:
Breathable, Comfortable, Highly Adjustable, Lightweight
Best Uses:
Longer Climbs, Weekend Climbs

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

Cheap for being the best
By Andy the avid climberVerified Reviewer from Ecuador on 5/2/2006
Pros:
Highly Adjustable, Lightweight, Rugged, you forget it's on your head
Best Uses:
Extreme Conditions

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.
