Not for technical climbing where hanging around is likely. But for mountaineering it is the best. Light, has leg clips to help w/ toilette (especially for ladies), but is plenty solid to save your life.
No loop, which makes it easier to put on but harder to tie in. My guide had a piece of hardware that she used as a loop.
Easy to put on and take off layers and easily adjustable to compensate for said layers. For what it is made for, it is great.

THis helmet is easily adjustable, fits everyone really well and protects well. No wonder it gets used so much as rentals to mountaineers. Not a looker. Nevertheless I wear a helmet to get out alive - and this is really solid. I can wear this all day on the mountain and have to reminded it's still there back at camp.
It fits me better than almost all other helmets, and will last forever.
Other helmets might work better for rock but I'm very comfortable with it in alpine conditions. Plus you can sit on it.
