The essentials
- ✓A good fit if your head circumference is between 51 and 55 cm
- ✓A good fit if you want adjustable ventilation and ear pads for audio chips
- –Less so if your head circumference is over 55 cm: the available size only goes up to 55 cm.
What is it for?
Our take
The Descend suits you if you want to adjust the ventilation in changing weather: its 16 vents can be regulated. The available size covers 51–55 cm head circumference and is fine-tuned with a dial. Removable ear pads can accommodate audio chips when needed.
