10. 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!.
