What we liked

  • + Petzl is an established climbing brand, and the listing says the Meteor is CE-certified specifically for ski touring (PCSR-002).
  • + Weight is listed at only 240 g in size M/L, thanks to in-mold construction, for all-day wear.
  • + Listing mentions Petzl's Top and Side Protection label, large vents and two front clips plus a rear band for a headlamp.

Trade-offs

  • - The certification wording in the listing refers to ski touring, so check the maker's own pages for the climbing standard before buying.
  • - At about $115 it costs more than classic foam shell helmets, and this listing is the S/M size only.

Prices change often, so check the current price and availability on Amazon.
