Petzl Meteor Helmet Review 2019

The Petzl Meteor now conforms to the Petzl Top and Side Protection label which means the design and construction offers optimal protection against side, rear, front and top impacts. You have to remember that most head injuries come from impacts against the rock when a climber falls. Injuries from rock fall onto the top of the head are less common. The enhanced ridge at the top of the helmet though means that the Meteor should keep you safe from small rock showers and more often when your partner brings half an icefall down hacking away to find a good pick placement. The top of the Meteor is a great improvement on the previous versions of the helmet, it looks good too!
