What other hosts are saying
4 experts recommend the Petzl Meteor Climbing Helmet.
Lightweight, looks good, and is made by a very high quality company.
Recommended in Desert Rock
This, in my opinion, is the most protective, comfortable, and good-looking helmet money can buy. Mine has held up to significant abuse and protected me through thick and thin. If you're in the market for your first helmet or it's time to replace your old one, look no further.

Perfect climbing/mountaineering helmet. Lightweight, easy to adjust and a hard shell. Make sure to check your helmet for any cracks/indentations before use and replace if any irregularities are noticed.
