Petzl Borea women’s climbing helmet Best

Petzl Borea women’s climbing helmet is designed for multi-purpose use ranging from climbing, mountaineering, caving, to via ferratas and canyoning.

Designed and studied specifically for women, this helmet has reduced dimensions (one size 52-58 cm), more rounded lines and a fantastic, super innovative Petzl patent called Omega: this consists of a headband with a very marked opening to allow women with long hair can wear a helmet without having to think about it first and understand how to wear their hair. Finally we women too can wear a helmet with a ponytail!

Borea was born in the wake of an innovative change in philosophy and provides a new type of protection, called Top and Side Protection, and a new closure and adjustment system.

To date, the traditional Petzl climbing and mountaineering helmets that comply with the regulations relating to falling rocks from above, have a side band made of a thin sheet that would not protect you from a lateral impact.

Borea is revolutionary because it guarantees you total protection from falling rocks from above and from lateral impacts thanks to the new hybrid construction with a thick ABS shell, an EPP foam shell and an EPS foam shell which promotes compactness on the head.

Petzl is thinking of reinforcing the Borea in the two side bands with a layer of foam that runs along the entire internal volume of the helmet.

Borea absorbs the energy of an impact, from above, laterally, frontally and from behind.
