Designed for climbing, mountaineering and ski touring, the lightweight, compact Meteora helmet for women from Petzl has excellent ventilation and is very comfortable to wear in both summer and winter. The head-hugging design ensures increased protection over the entire head area, even in the event of side impacts and bumps. The semi-rigid headband can also be operated with gloves and the generous cut-out on the helmet allows a ponytail to be worn underneath. The in-mould construction of the Meteora is responsible for the optimum all-round protection. The outer shell made of thin polycarbonate prevents sharp objects from penetrating in the event of a rockfall and at the same time protects the inner shell made of injection-moulded EPS foam. The thick inner shell absorbs the impact energy of objects or falls through deformation and distributes it so that the pressure cannot affect the head at certain points. Thanks to this design, the Meteora can be used with absolute flexibility in mountain sports and can even boast CE labelling for ski touring helmets. It can be combined with ski goggles or a visor especially for this purpose. Please note that the Meteora does not fulfil the requirements of the EN 1077 helmet standard for alpine skiers.
