The Black Diamond Vision MIPS helmet stands out as the most durable foam helmet in the BD lineup, equipped with EPP foam, an EPS foam puck, and an ABS shell to ward off dings and dents. Notably, it incorporates cutting-edge MIPS (Multidirectional Impact Protection System) technology, designed to safeguard against rotational motion transmitted to the brain during angled impacts. This additional protection system has proven effective in reducing rotational violence by absorbing and redirecting oblique impacts to the helmet. Enhanced side and back coverage meets proposed UIAA requirements, while strategically placed ventilation ports ensure airflow during high temperatures. The suspension system and chin strap contribute to the sleek design, and the integrated low-profile headlamp clips prevent snagging on over-the-shoulder slings, allowing for easy lighting during climbs extending past daylight hours.

The helmet is not ideal because the front part falls down, and then my sight gets obstructed, so I need to adjust it few times when climbing. I would recommend to buy a cheaper helmet which does not fall.
