Grivel Duetto Helmet Review

The Duetto has proven to be an excellent all round climbing helmet – I can’t really vouch for it’s skiing prowess apart from a brief session on rolerskis when I’d forgotten my bike helmet and luckily had my climbing kit in the van! In terms of overall bulk it is similar to the Grivel Stealth HS and easily fitted beneath a variety of hardshell and belay jacket hoods although it is marginally ‘taller’ than the Petzl Sirocco. The one size fits all harness was extremely stable keeping the helmet securely in place including when used with a headtorch. The range of adjustment meant that it could easily accommodate a fleece hood or hat in winter whilst still snugging down on my unadorned head in summer.
