Top-rated products in the Climbing helmets category

Here's a ranking of the top rated products in this category. To give you a quick overview, we've also added some key information about the products.

1. Petzl Meteor

The lightweight, compact Meteor helmet from Petzl, designed for climbing, mountaineering, and ski touring, features excellent ventilation and provides great comfort in both summer and winter. Its head-hugging design ensures enhanced protection across the entire head area, even against lateral impacts and blows. The In-Mold construction of the Meteor is responsible for optimal all-around protection. The outer shell made of thin polycarbonate prevents the penetration of sharp objects during rockfall, simultaneously protecting the inner shell made of injected EPS foam. The thick inner shell absorbs impact energy from objects or falls through deformation, distributing it in such a way that pressure does not act pointwise on the head. Thanks to this design, the Meteor is extremely versatile for mountain sports and even carries the CE mark for ski touring helmets. Specifically for this purpose, it can be combined with ski goggles or a visor. Please note that the Meteor does not meet the requirements of the helmet standard EN 1077 for alpine skiers!. 

2. Black Diamond Half Dome

The Half Dome has always been very popular in the global climbing community. Now, this popular helmet features a simpler closure system with a one-handed adjustable dial and streamlined headlamp clips for increased comfort and user-friendliness. The redesigned chin strap enhances efficiency and safety on the rock. 

3. Mammut Skywalker 3.0 Helmet

Our legendary Skywalker is the indestructible, versatile helmet for any type of climbing adventure. The new design is a state-of-the-art combination of EPP and EPS foams in a robust hard shell made of ABS plastic. The foam padding distributed throughout the interior provides optimal protection against impacts from the front, back, and sides up to the edge of the helmet. The helmet sits compactly on the head, with large ventilation openings and a stepless adjustment via a dial for different head sizes, making it particularly comfortable. A headlamp can be securely attached using mounting clips. Durable and robust, easily packable with an inward-storable adjustment system, the Skywalker 3.0 offers great protection and comfort without sacrificing performance. At the same time, it sets standards in sustainability through the use of recycled EPS foam. 

4. Mammut Crag transmitter

The Crag Sender Helmet by Mammut is designed for use on rock. This lightweight and well-ventilated climbing helmet not only impresses with its comfort but also offers a high level of safety. Thanks to its Inmold construction, it is both robust and lightweight. Reinforcements made of Kevlar ensure that it is particularly durable and can withstand strong external impacts. The practical adjustment mechanism at the back of the head, along with the fully adjustable chin strap, ensures that the helmet fits perfectly and does not wobble. Strategically placed padding also helps prevent pressure points. On warm days, the generous ventilation is a significant advantage, with several large ventilation openings connected by a ventilation channel allowing for quick temperature regulation.

8. Petzl Meteora

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.
