ecrin roc or vertex?

I'm glad this got brought up. Now I know I'm not the only one who dislikes the vertex. Dern thing won't adjust correctly on my heed. When I try to tighten the head strap, it just rides higher and higher until it's bobbling on top. I remember when it first came out, i thought the insides resembled a regular cheap hard hat. Anyway, I'm anxiously awaiting some new designs.
 
They are both good helmets. I'm the odd man here in that I prefer the vertex. I wore the ecrin roc too. Maybe the vertex fits egg heads better. Remember that the vertex has attachment slots for muffs and face shield. The ecrin roc doesn't. If you do alot of groundwork as well as climbing the vertex is more versatile. But I also prefer it just based on fit.
 
i dont wear a face shield because i were glasses. if i need a face shield i will use my rockman forestry helmet. i think im kinda leaning twords the ecrin roc and getting it in red. white seems like it will look grungy faster plus, red also makes me look like a rope rescue climber. cool!
 
Have both...have to put an extra piece in the Vertex headband to be able to get it to fit snug enough and not stick out so much at the back...much of a muchness between them though, they both wobble a bit but do the job. WHITE..any other colour is too hot, soapy water now and then keeps it clean...also reduces the sweaty pong...

Funny how the crazy person from down the street always shows up to ask "Why are you cutting that tree down?". She always looks to the guy in the white helmet... the boss! It must be subliminal...
