No frills helmet. Won't blow you away but does the job well at a reasonable price.
Isn't particularly comfortable for me but it fits securely and offers good protection particularly from impacts above. It sits quite high on the head and would offer limited protection from a side impact. Depending on how you'll use it that may be a big issue.
It's very durable so for rough use so for gorge walking, caving and instructing it's ideal. For climbing it works perfectly fine and has no major issue but there are definitely nicer helmets on the market (that typically cost more).
