Is it any thicker than the last model? The thing I liked most about the original is how low-bulk and streamlined it was
I hate to be that guy, but... did anyone notice the bubble in the Black Diamond decal on the red helmet (good view of it at 1:47)? I also noticed that the decal is larger on the red helmet than the other two. Perhaps they are still prototyping it all out.
I never used to wear a helmet as I am a sweaty bastard and helmets used to make sweat drip in my eye but recently purchased the old Vapour and I’ve not climbed without it since, even recently in Kalymnos where I presumed I would get too hot, brilliant lid and now the only reason I have left for not wearing one is vanity. Definitely be upgrading to the nee vapour when my old one gets a bit more battered.
When is it available?

@@peter7cole thx
I used to love BD products, but they have refused to replace my avalanche beacon BOTH times it’s been recalled. People have died using my exact model and I have two of them. They prioritize money over safety. I will not be buying their products anymore.
That is bullshit. Climbing equipment is life safety equipment and since they moved alot of manufacturing out of the US I have lost alot of respect for the company.
Will it have a similar CE rating to the Scirocco? I initially switched from the Vapor to the Scirocco for the added level of protection, but I can’t stand Petzl’s magnetic clasp.
If you don’t like the magnetic aspect, you can push that out. They recommend with a heated needle.
@@zacharylaschober I guess I should say that I don’t like their buckle design at all vs a conventional buckle. Even with the magnets, I find it hard to orient and get into place compared to a standard one.
But thank you for the tip!
It passes both EN12492 and UIAA106 standards.
I like them! I still use the Petzl Meteor, with 220 gr. it was very light at that time. But i need a new helmed anyway, so if you happen to have to many of them I'll take one;)
Where i can buy this helmet?
It will be out next spring 🤘
Anyone use this helmet? Thoughts?
Thoughts, if you travel - it's not good. the lack of proper shell on the sides makes it highly prone to damage in transit. it is also much less durable then previous generation. Basically it's worse IRL if you are not a sponsored athlete that gets them for free.
MIPS?
Looks good but plastic & foam doesn't change color the same way. You'll have a white&yellow helmet, a red&pink helmet or a black&grey helmet.
If your helmet is discolouring you should replace it
What do you mean you don’t look cool in a helmet? Have you seen your videos? You look more professional than the squids that don’t wear one!
I’m sorry but when was the last time helmets being heavy was an issue?
It's not. Just like harnesses being heavy isn't an issue. It's about comfort and preference, not performance.
Definitely the weight isn’t itself an issue unless having to pack gear in for a while, but reduction in weight is reduction in bulk which simply translates to less to be aware of on the wall. Love the Mammut Sender harness for this reason, I simply don’t notice this on me when climbing, the weight being low isn’t the concern because if I sneeze I probably expel as many grams as I save compared to a standard harness. Ultralight gear is generally high performance gear, and the weight is simply an obvious metric to compare by. If weight were the only concern, I’d wear a Petzl Fly sans padding.
