This guy is a phenomenal presenter and way more informative than Kolin typically is. Hope we get to see more of him talking about BD products on the channel. It's between him and Fred from CAMP for me 😂
Such an awesome overview of the product details. Very clear and informative. I really enjoyed the insight about the thought process.I agree with the group. This guy rocks! Keep ‘em coming .
Thank you just pulled the trigger on the MIPS version. Glad to also have the same bucket for riding the bike! Had a vapor and dang it was comfortable, light and good looking but it could not hold up to the Oregon Choss. Oh thank love the visual of the "llittle groms throwing slings."
The dual rated helmet us such a great idea. It is a pain in the butt to carry 2 helmets if you bike to the craig. Please make a adult version that has that!
There are actually a number of dual cert. helmets on the market and you can filter on that feature on WeighMyRack.com/helmet - however, usually they are certified for ski/climb, not bike/climb. Although the cert. is different, the ski cert. is a bit more rigorous than bike so I personally would feel comfortable wearing a ski helmet while biking. And in my experience, many people feel comfortable wearing climbing helmets while riding. We wrote a blog post on ski certified climbing helmets: blog.weighmyrack.com/helmets-certified-for-climbing-and-skiing/
Interesting take on MIPS.... It doesn't work. At least a lot of independent studies suggest so. Honestly, after 20 yrs of climbing I can't say I've ever taken or heard of a guy that would significantly be affected by MIPS. Seems like a tech that's not necessary
We didn't get the weight of kid's helmet unfortunately. We haven't received the final production specs from BD on any of the Capitan helmets but when we do we'll be adding them to WeighMyRack
The Capitan is not ski certified. So if you choose to use it skiing, it's equivalent to any other climbing helmet. Here is an article we wrote on the multi-use helmet options: blog.weighmyrack.com/helmets-certified-for-climbing-and-skiing/ You'll notice that all of the ski/climb certified helmets have very little ventilation because they need to meet the penetration requirements of the ski certification.
