Why We Like The Black Diamond Vision MIPS Helmet
The Vision Helmet is Black Diamond's most durable foam helmet for climbing, and this Vision MIPS Helmet adds a Multi-directional Impact Protection System for an even greater level of safety. The Vision also has an updated design to the innovative hybrid construction that climbers have been enjoying for seasons. The polycarbonate shell covers a larger portion of the crown, and there's a layer of EPS foam underneath for added crown protection. EPP foam covers the rest of the helmet for multi-impact protection.

Here's what customers have to say
This climbing helmet is lightweight and comfortable, with good protection features like MIPS technology. Users praised its sleek, stylish design and excellent fit and adjustability. The MIPS system was highlighted as a valuable safety feature. However, some noted the helmet can shift or loosen during use, especially in hot weather, and the matte black color may not be ideal for warmer conditions. Overall, it provides excellent protection and comfort, though a few minor fit and ventilation issues were mentioned.

Wonderful Helmet!
This helmet makes me feel very safe. I bought it because it’s MIPS rated but also because it’s breathable and the internal head adjustment is very easy to maneuver. Wore it all day long on a trip to Smith Rock.

Comfortable and Feels Really Safe
It is exactly what I was looking for. It’s light, very good fit, comfortable, and the MIPS tech gives extra peace of mind. I barely notice I’m wearing it, even on long days. The ventilation works well, and the headlamp clips are handy. It feels solid without being bulky. Delivery was quick and everything was in perfect shape. No issues at all. Definitely recommend it.

I love this helmet
So far I’ve only worn this on a few scrambles but I have big stuff planned for this! It super light and durable. The fit it a bit weird in that it looks weird in my head but that’s the cost for safety. Overall highly recommend.
