Today we feature the Petzl Meteor Helmet

Are you passionate about climbing, mountaineering, or ski touring? The METEOR helmet offers efficient protection for these three activities! Lightweight, compact, and with excellent ventilation, it’s comfortable in any season. The shape provides greater coverage for enhanced head protection and was specifically designed to be worn with ski goggles. Additionally, METEOR is the first CE certified helmet for ski touring (please note this helmet does not meet the requirements of the EN 1077 standard for alpine skiing helmets).
