Awesome helmet

By Jesse Ranked #259 - Climbing Helmets May 3, 2010

I have been climbing with my kids Petzl Meteor helmet for years now (since I was a kid) and although it still fits and has never taken a beating I figured that being in my 20s now I should get a grow-up helmet. I tried on every helmet I could find (petzl, camp, black diamond, etc) at multiple retail stores. Although I almost went with a grown-up Petzl Meteor, I'm glad I saw an ad for this in Climbing Magazine. The Elia is lightweight, well vented and best of all lets me pull my hair up and out of the way. I love the quick adjust sliders on the sides too, they make fitting the helmet over a hat or headband really simple. The only thing I wish were different would be the color, the non-ponytail friendly Elios has a great orange color, I would love complementary colors for the Elia, instead of just fancy accent colors.
