Mark II version of the amazing, ultra-lightweight climbing and mountaineering helmet with excellent impact resistance. By using expanded polypropylene (EPP) rather than expanded polystyrene, Petzl have produced an incredibly light weight helmet that can withstand multiple impacts without damage and will return to its original shape after impact.
Ultra-light design.
- Hybrid construction with a shell in EPP (expanded polypropylene) foam and rigid crown injected with EPS (expanded polystyrene) foam.
- Head-covering design for optimal protection against lateral and rear impact.
- Maximum comfort in action with wide holes, for excellent ventilation.
- Completely adjustable, thanks to the adjustable headband and chinstrap.
- Magnetic buckle facilitates fastening the chinstrap (Petzl patent).
- Compatible with the Vizion Visor.
- Two hooks and rear elastic for attaching a headlamp.
This helmet is incredibly light to wear and also very comfortable. Moreover this new version is nowhere near as daft-looking as the original model was to wear and only a few grams heavier. It does though remain to be seen how the combination of several materials stands up to wear and tear - the original version was remarkable in that respect.
