An innovative and design-optimized helmet geometry with a deep neck area is not only visible from the outside but also felt by the wearer on the inside.

The design, size, and headband allow for the helmet, specifically designed for women, to be worn comfortably with long hair tied in a ponytail. The large lateral ventilation holes ensure good helmet climate. In addition to protection from impacts from above, Petzl has also equipped the Borea with side impact protection, which provides additional head protection, especially in falls and impacts against rocks or ice.
