Currently have a grade half A2 pulley strain, like I'm one hard crimpy climb away from actually being injured. Will hanging on my tools for increase the probability of me being injuried?
Normally I would think yes, but if i'm fully gripping the tool, would the tool itself fill the space to help reduce bowstring?
made an impulsive purchase so here I am.... my primary comparison will be the BD Vision helmet (M/L 58-63cm). sorry i don't have another ultralight helmet to compare this too
Blue Ice: Blast (M/L 56-63cm) white
My head shape per MRI: triangle lmao, wide and flat on the back. Size 22.8 in/58cm
-----------------------------------
Protection: thinner side foam (EPP) than the bd vision overall. Great coverage from the top, but bc the vents are larger than BD vision. Tilting your head forward will expose more holes to the top angle for rando things to fall in. Top side EPP + ESP coverage and thickness is great.
Strap system: Great, helmet stays in place. My BD vision tends to slid forward, bc the tap that holds the strap in the vertical direction doesn't have a lot of friction. This is not the case with BI Blast, their taps (for semi permanent locations) are tight. The two main adjustable taps are easy works great, not too tight not too loose.
One thing i notice is the strap is higher up under my ear, so when i tried to wear a thick cap underneath, that tap ride up on my ear. I was able to resolve this by adjusting the tap back more on the webbing.
Aesthetics: great, not ugly. White color looks slick af, but i suspect if it gets dirty it will look more meh, we'll see. Since this helmet is thinner on the sides, the silhouette/outline of the helmet on the head fits more naturally; does not make your head look like a mushroom. I have seen some ugly ass helmets so this is important to me lmao
COMES WITH the carrying harness thingy for backpacks
