Petzl Elia Helmet: Hair Hole For She-Climbers

Several sleek-looking vents keep you from getting too sweaty, and give the helmet a feminine vibe without resorting to any of those shiny swirls that seem to be ubiquitous among women's outdoor gear. In fact, the vents are so sleek-looking, I used them as inspiration to transform my helmet into a work of art. At least I'll know it's mine once all my friends start showing up with this helmet on, which is bound to happen thanks to its adjustability, durability, comfort and, of course, the ponytail hole.
Pros: Very adjustable; well-ventilated; accommodates ponytails; lightweight; slim webbing straps.
Cons: Not face shield-compatible; tight headlamp clips; only available in one-size-fits-most.
