2. Petzl Meteora
The lightweight, compact Meteora helmet for women by Petzl, designed for climbing, mountaineering, and ski touring, features excellent ventilation and provides great comfort in both summer and winter. Its head-enveloping design ensures increased protection across the entire head area, even against lateral impacts and blows. The semi-rigid chin strap can be operated even while wearing gloves, and the generous cutout in the helmet allows for wearing a ponytail underneath. The In-Mold construction of the Meteora is responsible for optimal all-around protection. The outer shell made of thin polycarbonate prevents sharp objects from penetrating 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 and distributes it in such a way that pressure does not act pointwise on the head. Thanks to this design, the Meteora is absolutely versatile in mountain sports and even boasts a CE mark for ski touring helmets. Specifically for this purpose, it can be combined with ski goggles or a visor. Please note, the Meteora does not meet the requirements of the helmet standard EN 1077 for alpine skiers!.
3. Petzl Boreo
The Boreo is a lightweight all-rounder. Weighing 300 g in size S/M (330 g in size M/L), it reliably protects your head during sports climbing, mountaineering, via ferrata, canyoning, and caving. Petzl manufactures the climbing helmet using a hybrid construction, which means that beneath the hard outer shell, which distributes the impact energy from falling objects, a foam core snugly fits around the head and absorbs shocks and impacts through deformation. This makes the helmet compact in design, fits well on the head, and is very robust and durable. The flexible headband allows for individual adjustment, and it is slightly lower at the back. The large side ventilation holes ensure good temperature management. In addition to protection from impacts from above, Petzl has also equipped the Boreo with lateral impact protection, providing extra safety for the head, especially in falls and impacts against rocks or ice. And when you're out at night with the helmet on, the clips and a rubber band at the back ensure a secure fit for the headlamp, providing the necessary illuminated all-around visibility at night.

Description
Lightweight design and comfort:
- Inner shell made of EPP (expanded polypropylene) and EPS (expanded polystyrene) for weight reduction.
- The Centerfit adjustment system with its two side adjustment wheels ensures that the helmet remains centered on the head.

Head protection suitable for work at height and on the ground:
- The dual chin strap allows the user to adjust the holding force of the chin strap to adapt the helmet to different work situations: work at height (EN 12492) and work on the ground (EN 397). The clip has two positions for two different purposes: high holding force to reduce the risk of the helmet being knocked off during a fall, and low holding force to reduce the risk of strangulation if the helmet gets caught while working on the ground.
