I think paddy palin are currently having a sale with 25% off all climbing gear. Last I checked (in the sydney store anyway), they had the BD hemmesphere & various edelrid ones too.

Thanks for the lead - lower price than discounted new, would be better, but I'll check it out too.

Thanks dalai - some pretty good prices, although with a helmet, I would like to try before buying. I do support keeping the webite going, though.

Being such a personal choice, definitely need to try before you buy. Still can go into a local shop to try and compare...

I picked up an Ecrin at Mountain Designs in the city for $125 with student discount (good to keep a student around for this reason). Same price as the above website and I got to try it and take it home with me. Tried it out on the weekend, and although it didn't need to deflect any of Gareth's gear, it did keep my head warm.

I've got one for sale if you're still interested. Its a Salewa (the expensive one not the Vert cheapo).

It has an internal webbing harness and closed cell-foam for comfort. I got it for $100 at Bogong but will
sell it for half that if you're keen.

You can see a picture of me wearing it here:

Its in EC (never had any knocks on it). It does have a couple of stickers but they use only water-based
adhesives and I could easily wash them off.

The helmet is a large size "one size fits all" which is exactly why I want to sell it - I have a small head
and have always used it with the harness system closed right down. This just means the helmet sticks
out the back of my small head and touches my rucksack lid when I look up. Very annoying for me but
won't happen on somebody with a larger head.

Email me or post a phone number and I'll call you up.

I'm in Melbourne, Eastern suburbs (East Malvern)

Cheers,
Alan.
