Petzl Meteor III + Climbing Helmet

Item #PTZ0304 | 60 in Stock
5 Star Rating

Awesome featherweight and well vented

By Ranked #202 - Climbing Helmets July 21, 2010

This helmet's awesome, comes with replacement padding and protective cover. It's super well vented and has worked great on the hottest days, it's low profile and is really easily adjustable so it can sit squarely and securely on your noggin'. I had previously used another superlight foam core helmet from a rival manufacturer which was great 'til the padding started peeling off, I thought I'd fix it with some barge cement and that managed to melt the foam. The Petzl has all straps and pads well attached and Backcountry's stellar return policy swapped out the helmets no questions asked.
