CAMP Speed Comp Helmet


No Longer Carry


Meeting both climbing and skiing certifications, CAMP's newest skimo race helmet lets you rest assured that your noggin is protected. The Speed Comp has been beefed up to account for side-impacts that are more likely when skiing versus pure mountaineering. Complementing the added safety features, the Speed Comp helmet improves comfort as well. CAMP uses a glove-friendly adjustment dial in the back to ensure a secure fit while soft microfiber foam padding soothes your skull. Generous side and rear ventilation affords the convenience of wearing your helmet on the ascent which frees up pack space. It also fuels the desire to wear your helmet while accessing technical lines involving rock, snow, or ice. The Speed Comp also includes a unique goggle strap system, similar to a headlamp clip, designed to secure your eyewear in the unfortunate event of a yard sale. The CAMP Speed Comp is the new standard for skimo race helmets.

  • Three secure headlamp clips.
  • EN 12492 climbing certification.
  • EN 1077/B skiing certification.
  • Meets all ISMF regulations.

Not my favorite helmet. I give it a 3.25 stars. I didn't like how it sat on my head and that is def not the helmet's fault necessarily. The helmet does feel to have adequate protection in all the spots as needed. I had the previous version of this helmet and I am not sure why they changed the design. Venting on this is not near as good as the Petzl Sirroco which is my fav all time helmet. The Petzl helmet I don't believe is race-specific though. Cranking down on this isn't as good either. Difficult to use. There are a lot of great choices and this one just didn't hit the mark for me. A rarety. But if you want a burlier helmet and it fits right on your head, this might be the one.

This gets used daily, and I want to like the fit better, but no matter what I do it always seems to be loose or move a bit, especially when wearing with only glasses (the fit is much better with goggles and I end up wearing them most days for that reason). The ventilation is not great, which for cold days I don't mind, but spring skiing it's noticeable.

Although heavier than other helmets, I don't know if I really notice it on most days. The goggle strap is secure and holds them in place well.

I’ve use this helmet everyday on the hill from the moment I got it! It’s a great helmet! Padding is alittle shy but wear a light beanie under it and your golden. Pile drove it into the ground, smashed tree branches....it’s heavier for a reason, to protect your noggin from impact cause you might not be going fast uphill but hopefully breaking some records down

I found this helmet surprisingly heavy and not well vented. Generally, it didn't seem like a helmet I would wear while going uphill which seems to defeat the purpose. My downhill helmet, an old giro, is better vented with a similar weight.
The main reason I didn't like it is it fit my small head terribly. It felt more like yarmulke sitting on top of my head than a full helmet with actual side coverage. When I shook my head hard it would fall off, even with everything cranked down hard. I'd definitely stay away if you have a small, round head.

I would not buy unless you need to meet requirements for a qualifying or international race. For the vast majority or racing the lighter climbing rated helmets do the job. This helmet is much heavier and less vented than its predecessor the Speed 2.0. But of the few skimoable EN 1077 (ski) rated helmets available I believe this is one of the best.

I've heard many complaints about the way that this helmet fits (too wide, and too short front to back). I have have a fairly round, medium sized head, and it fits well.

I am especially a fan of the goggle holders on the sides of the helmet, takes messing around with zip ties out of the equation.

Hi Charles, I'd return it if it doesn't fit (note you can adjust the fit by moving the internal harness). But, yes, unfortunately the dual-certified helmets are heavier and less ventilated than the pure climbing helmets. They have to be to meet the specification.

I won a Speed Comp helmet this season at a local race and have very much enjoyed using for the past two plus months. I was using the Dynafit ST helmet before and find the Speed Comp to be better in a few areas. I have had issues with the Dynafit helmet hurting the back of my head when wearing goggles for more than a few minutes. No such issues with the Speed Comp. The goggle strap system is great! The strap on the rear of the helmet is easy to use and the two side straps keep the goggles from flying off the helmet if you don't use duct tape, or zip ties. The pads are on the hard side and I was a bit concerned about comfort on long races/tours, but haven't had any issues with comfort on training days up to three plus hours. I haven't had issues feeling too hot with the helmet, even with fewer vents than non-double certified models. Overall, a great helmet.

Question from James
 
I've got quite a big noggin (~61cm). What's the fit like on this guy?

Answer from Trace Leches
 
Hey James! It's very round and cinches up pretty high on your noggin! Not my first choice of large dual certified helmets! The Kong Kosmos has a nice and low harness that wraps very low on the back of your head and it tops out at 62cm!

Five Stars for a dual-cert helmet, but almost as many caveats!

I procrastinated getting a dual-cert helmet for a few years (as many other skimo racers no doubt also did) given the -- compared to climbing-only helmets -- limited selection and significant weight penalty, along with decreased ventilation.

But CAMP’s model finally convinced me to buy one: not because CAMP’s model is any lighter or more ventilated that the competition, but I figured that if even CAMP can’t reduce the weight penalty and/or add more ventilation, then nobody can!

Compared to my CAMP Speed “1.1” (version before the 2.0, yet a few years after the Speed model first debuted, so had some slight tweaks compared to the original), the Speed Comp vents are drastically reduced. The overall design is pretty similar to the Speed, including the head coverage, but the sides are noticeably thicker, which I suspect is related to the side-impact spec of the ski cert.

Design and fit are otherwise fairly similar, and the Speed Comp comes with a substitute front pad if you want to tighten up the fit there.

Going back to a heavier helmet, the weight penalty and decreased ventilation are both noticeable, but on cold days for skiing New England glades and training uphill into downhill traffic at resorts, it’s a reasonable tradeoff. And if you ever wear goggles, the strap in back is way better than trying to mess around with almost any climbing helmet for goggle retention. (Plus even though the styling is pretty boring, the graphics are kind of snazzy – I choose black since I figured it would be cold weather helmet, so increased sun absorption.)

Warm days though, races that don’t recall dual-cert, and long spring/summer ski mountaineering tours, I’ll stick with my climbing-only helmets.

Definitely did not miss the extra venting of a climbing-only helmet on this tour!
