Product Details
Description:
Protect your noggin without added weight or discomfort in Petzl's Altios Helmet that hovers above your head with a hybrid suspension system. You'll barely know you're wearing a helmet while it's positioned above your head with a mesh panel and expanded polystyrene liner that create a nearly weightless feeling - and all while your head stays cool in the climate-control system that vents the area between the crown of your head and the inner shell.

Features:

  • Feel as if you're not even wearing a helmet with the hybrid suspension system's mesh panel and expanded polystyrene liner that allow the helmet to "levitate" above your head for a nearly weightless feeling
  • Defend your head from rock falls with the durable ABS shell protection, and when necessary, add a VIZION face shield to this compatible system
  • Never end up climbing with a hot sticky head - the climate control system provides venting between the inner shell and the top of the head
  • Dial in the fit with the easy-to-use adjustment wheel and chinstrap for the perfect nape height and headband width; adjust the chinstrap forward or back for more comfort
  • Position your head comfortably within the removable and washable headband foam and mesh, while the non-abrasive narrow polyester webbing straps lie along the side of your face
  • Attach a headlamp when needed via the 4 optimally placed clips or the removable ADAPT clip

Specifications:

  • Weight: 11.1 ounces (size 1); 12.2 ounces (size 2)
  • Fits head circumference: 18.9-22 inches (size 1); 22-24 inches (size 2)

I got this helmet for a weekend trip to Smith and it was the best. It protected my head and i barely even felt it the whole weekend. Very lightweight, with superb ventilation.
