Tree Climbers International - Petzl "Vertex Vent"

This helmet is rated for impact on all sides, including the top of course. Many helmets are only rated for top impact, which can be fine for casual climbers but I've found the extra protection useful while lead climbing and pruning. You can get it vented which is the model I use living in the hot south, but you can get it non vented, which is useful for cold climbs.

I gave it a lower rating on comfort for a couple of reasons. The helmet is slightly heavier than some of the other helmets (more plastic), which makes it more noticeable at times. It sits a bit lower on the head than some of the lighter top-impact helmets too, which makes it a little more hot on summer days.
