I recently took this helmet on a multi-pitch climb in the Dolomites. Its lightweight design made a noticeable difference, reducing neck strain during long ascents. The padding kept me comfortable, and the helmet stayed securely in place without needing frequent adjustments. Compared to other helmets like the Petzl Sirocco, the Ultra-Light Helmet offers similar performance at a slightly more affordable price point.
Conclusion
The Ultra-Light Helmet from Naturas is a fantastic choice for climbers and mountaineers looking for a lightweight yet durable helmet. Its excellent shock resistance, comfort, and safety certifications make it a reliable companion for any adventure. While the fit adjustment could be more intuitive, this minor drawback is easily overshadowed by the helmet's numerous benefits. I highly recommend it to anyone in need of a high-performance climbing helmet.
