Excellent helmet. They are the standard helmet for HM Coastguard Rescue Teams in the UK.
I use mine in Cave Rescue.

Thank you for this review, good insight.

Do you find that the helmet presses downs on the arms of glasses or sunglasses behind your ear? Having this issue with mine no matter how I adjust it and it's driving me mad!

[@Gauthierbrad27]

I just bought this helmet and it seems like it sits way too high up on my head, is there anyway that you can decrease the webbing to A deeper point inside the helmet?

i had this same problem too... did you find an alternative by any chance?
