Introduction to the Petzl Meteor Helmet

This construction, in addition to making it remarkably light, only 240 g for the M/L size, provides great impact resistance. Designed to be versatile, comfortable, and well-ventilated, the Meteor is equipped with large ventilation holes which guarantee excellent ventilation in both summer and winter. Its covering design offers enhanced protection for the entire head, particularly in case of side impacts. An elastic strap at the back of the helmet allows to secure goggles, and the front clips can keep a headtorch perfectly stable. Additionally, its headband is retractable for easy transport and storage.
