Petzl Climbing Helmets

Petzl Helmets, the result of 30 years of innovation

A passionate practitioner of caving, Fernand Petzl has been working from a young age to improve the equipment he uses and invent new tools to explore the depths. In 1968, the inventor launched his first products such as Petzl carabiners. Two years later, the company was founded and expanded its range of equipment dedicated to verticality and safety. Among these are the Petzl Climbing Helmets, the result of 30 years of development and innovation. Today, the Grenoble-based brand offers a wide variety of climbing and mountain gear, including Petzl ropes, Petzl harnesses, Petzl crampons, and headlamps. For each of these products, the family business ensures that the products exceed the required standards and norms. Thus, all Petzl helmets benefit from certifications according to their respective uses. In addition to being tested in the laboratory, they are field-tested to assess their ergonomics and reliability during use. 

Petzl, helmets for all your activities

Lightweight, comfortable, simple and quick to adjust, Petzl helmets perfectly fulfill their role in safety equipment for vertical activities. Whether you are looking for a climbing helmet or a mountaineering helmet, Petzl offers the protection you need through its different ranges. 

Petzl Performance Helmets

The Performance helmets range, designed for intensive use on all terrains, prioritizes lightness and ventilation to provide optimal comfort. In this range is the Sirocco helmet, whose unmatched lightness (only 170 grams) is made for demanding climbers and mountaineers. Designed to provide an exceptional balance between lightness and protection, it features a lowered covering design at the back to cover more of the head. The optimization of its volume, combined with excellent ventilation, provides maximum comfort. Perfect for climbing, mountaineering, and ski touring, it fits perfectly under the hood of any women's hardshell jacket. And to ensure you can see clearly, two hooks at the front and an elastic at the back allow you to attach a headlamp. 

Petzl Advanced Helmets

The Advanced range, designed for regular climbing and mountaineering practice, offers an excellent weight/ventilation/comfort ratio. The Meteor helmet, for example, weighs only 240 grams and features a construction that promotes compactness on the head. Its large ventilation holes, careful finishes, and streamlined design for wearing a ski mask make it an ideal helmet for climbing, mountaineering, and ski touring. It also has hooks at the front and an elastic at the back to attach a headlamp.

Petzl Discover Helmets

The Discover range is suitable for discovering climbing, mountaineering, via ferrata, caving, canyoning… Versatile and robust, they do not forget to be comfortable. The Boreo helmet for men and the Borea helmet for women are among them. Reinforced and protective, they contain a thick shell to ensure optimal resistance against impacts and scratches. The covering shape of these helmets offers enhanced head protection while remaining compact and ventilated to provide maximum comfort. Finally, four hooks allow you to attach a headlamp.
