Used the helmet when climbing and abseiling - good fit, adjustable and lightweight.
Also wore it on a snow gulley climb last year. My climbing partner sent down some hefty chunks of frozen snow that hit me. Helmet coped well and protected me from two pretty solid hits from ice and snow.
Only thing wrong was the under helmet gear needs to be very thin otherwise you get some pressure points.

I've used it several times while climbing outdoors, and it's been scratched multiple times while climbing at Stanage Edge. Definitely worth the money to prevent me running my head into the rock!
