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. Mammut Skywalker 3.0
This 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 ABS plastic hard shell. The foam pads distributed over the entire inside provide optimal protection up to the edge of the helmet against impacts from the front, back and side. The helmet sits compactly on the head, large ventilation openings and the infinitely variable adjustment for different head sizes by means of a rotary wheel make it particularly comfortable. A headlamp can be securely attached by means of retaining clips. Durable and robust, easy to pack with an inward stowable adjustment system, the Skywalker 3.0 offers great protection and comfort without sacrificing performance. At the same time, it sets standards in terms of sustainability through the use of recycled EPS foam.
4. 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.

8. Grivel Stealth
With its geometric design, the Stealth climbing helmet from Grivel already looks a bit futuristic! It weighs just 190 grams, making it the first choice for sport and alpine climbers who want to be as light as possible. The fact that the hybrid helmet, despite its low weight and the extra large ventilation openings, by no means has to be lowered when it comes to safety is proven by its design: A robust ABS hard shell is used on the outside, which reliably protects against stone chips; the deformable EPS foam is processed underneath. This allows impact and impacts to be effectively absorbed. The incident energy is distributed over a large area of the foam so that serious injuries can be avoided. All in all, the Stealth is not only a visual highlight, but also in terms of comfort and protection the helmet plays right at the front. Perfect for warm temperatures and summery pitches!
