I got this helmet for my 6 year old son for our hiking trip up the JMT. He didn't climb too much on the trip but he did a bit of rappelling. He also wore it while we walked the trail which he thought was cool and I didn't mind the extra safety. While he was wearing it, it fit great and adjusted well on the move. It didn't weigh too much to clip on my pack when he got tired of wearing it. An added bonus when we did camp for the evening after dinner the helmet coupled with the Lego head lamp kept him entertained in the tent until bedtime.
