Petzl Meteor III + Climbing Helmet
Great brain box

Ranked #102 - Climbing Helmets

This helmet is super lightweight and adjusts great to fit over a hat, or just your head. Its so light that you forget its even there until tiny little chunks of ice tink off of it. I use this for ice climbing and trad climbing, and the comfort is amazing. Luckily I've never taken a rock to the head, so I can't really comment on the protection properties, but I've always been a believer that a helmet is really just an insurance policy that makes your loved ones feel better, and if you can forget that you are even wearing it, that is a success for me. I give it a 5/5!
