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.
