cleverhare's Full Review: Black Diamond Half Dome Helmet
If you're expecting a well-fitting, comfortable helmet then don't buy the Half Dome helmet by Black Diamond. I was shocked to find a thick, non-adjustable, rigid foam lining in the top. Unless you have a perfectly round head this will be very uncomfortable as it doesn't distribute evenly across the crown of the head leaving a few points where it presses firmly. I question the effectiveness of this helmet b/c the force of an impact will be focused on the points of contact rather than be distributed and when you have a rigid foam that doesn't "give", even a slight blow could be quite painful. Also, low side vents promote a lot of heat and perspiration buildup in the helmet. Before you think of purchasing this helmet i strongly recommend you try it on first. As an avid climber and caver I would recommend a different helmet.
