Why We Like The Black Diamond Vapor Helmet
The Black Diamond Vapor Helmet is now lighter than ever, making us forget we have anything clipped to our head at all. The webbing and cord harness system saves grams and space in our pack yet gives us infinite adjustments for a snug, made-for-us fit that won't slip or shift when we dyno or get horizontal. As we chase the sunset to the last pitch, the large side vents help us keep our cool, while the tough top cap gives us reliable protection as our partner battles the final crux above. When the sun goes down, the low-profile clips secure our headlamp for a well-lit rap.

Photo worthy.
I have had this helmet before, but it always dented up, which now with its improved design with foam and she’ll should help with that. Also the new colors are so cool looking. Making helmets cool; take my photo!

Lightweight, Strong Alpine Helmet
This helmet is lightweight and perfect for staying quick on a long approach. Does not have full hard plastic coverage that I like for cragging, will not hold up well to being banged around with bricks of gear. If you want to move fast and light in the hills yet stay safe, this is your helmet.

New Vapor is Great!
Great helmet! It's super light and breathable, doesn't dent, and the webbing is just right. I checked the sizes and went for the small/medium, even though I was right on the edge of the bump up size and I'm very happy because it's pretty svelte, no rattle! It's a great daily driver - thanks BD!

So light and comfortable
I barely even notice wearing it. I appreciate how adjustable it is. Some initial discomfort was able to easily be resolved by adjusting the various straps

Featherlight
If your neck/shoulders ever get sore from your helmet - this will do the trick. I don’t even feel it, and it’s works great for rock falls.

You’ll forget your wearing it, straps are not as comfortable but I’ll get used to it.

Very Comfortable
Having only used a guides selection of helmets getting my own was a priority. You will forget your even wearing a helmet. This vapor is so light and comfortable. I typically wear large helmets and was concerned a M/L might be small. It fits great and looks good.

Best Helmet on the Market
I have a large head. Deep/high crown hats are the only ones that fit me (sometimes) this helmet and the precious version fit perfect. My last Gen vapor adjustment plastic cracked on me super stoked this is a webbing based system! Nice new features. Same classic fit.
