Petzl Sirocco Helmet

Petzl’s latest “coup” is a big orange light one, in the form of helmet! It’s so light (165gr) that it’s half the weight of standard helmets. The foam Petzl decided to use is so resistant that adding the standard shell became superfluous. As a result, the helmet is so extremely light with great ventilation that you forget you’re even wearing one, even on overhanging routes where your neck would otherwise hurt from the added weight. The textile adjustment is simple all the while providing the most stability I’ve experienced with a helmet. Last but not least, there is a magnet to make buckling the chin strap with one hand possible. The Sirocco is no less than revolutionary!
