The Petzl Elios Helmet is a durable but lightweight foam helmet within a hard shell. In addition to this, it provides a great fit and performance.
The outer shell is made of the thermoplastic ABS which makes it light, rigid, and durable. Beneath the shell is a crown made of expanded polypropylene foam which is excellent for impact absorption.
Ten ventilation holes spread over the polycarbonate shell assures good air flow into the helmet. This means a cool and sweat-free climb. In addition to this, four headlamp clips are also included.
For fit and comfort, the helmet’s headband is easily adjustable even with only one hand through a wheel-ratchet dial mounted at the nape. The chin strap can also be slid forward or backward to guarantee a comfortable fit and a properly angled helmet.
Petzl Elios shells come in different colors –blue, anthracite, orange, white, and two shades of green. There are two available sizes, Size #1 for 48 – 56 cm head circumference, and Size #2 for 53 – 61 cm. The smaller size weighs 315 g, while the other is 345 g.
