Several days ago, I mentioned that I had seen the Petzl "Ecrin Roc" helmet
at a good price. I finally remembered where, and picked up mine, along with
much other climbing gear just today.
If you're interested, see
http://onlinestore.forestindustry.com/scripts/blueridge/393.html
or the main page at
http://www.blueridgearboristsupply.com/
Blue Ridge's price for the Ecrin Roc is $66; virtually every place else
sells it for $77.
Blue Ridge has good gear, good prices, and good folks. Ask for Jay.
If you care to do it, tell him that I sent you. I told him that I was going
to tell some hams about the helmet and that he might have a run on them!
BTW, Jay's dad is a ham up in one-land.

Subject: [TowerTalk] hard hats
I have for years felt vaguely guilty working on a tower without a hard hat,
but the standard construction type are just too clumsy -- the suspension
harness inside makes them wobble around on my head, and I'm forever hitting
the front brim on the tower or antenna I'm working on, plus it restricts my
upward vision.
There *must* be something better -- recently I saw some "pro" tower guys
working in what looked vaguely like the "almost no helmets" that some
Harley guys like. Someone referred to them as hockey helmets, but they
looked more stripped down than that, with a pattern of holes over their
surface (perhaps for cooling?)
Any leads?
