FAQs

What head sizes does the Petzl Boreo Helmet accommodate?

The helmet is available in different sizes, typically covering ranges such as Small (48-58cm) and Medium (53-61cm). Always check the specific product details for precise sizing.

Can I wear a hat or beanie under the helmet?

Due to the optimized head volume and integrated headband, wearing a thin hat or balaclava might be possible, but it could affect the fit and safety. It's recommended to try it on with your intended headwear.

What is the lifespan of the Petzl Boreo Helmet?

While the materials are durable, Petzl generally recommends replacing helmets after 10 years from the date of manufacture, or immediately after a significant impact or damage.

Is this helmet certified for climbing safety?

Yes, the Petzl Boreo Helmet is certified according to CE EN 12492 and UIAA standards, ensuring it meets rigorous safety requirements for climbing.

How do I clean the foam liners?

The foam liners can be gently cleaned with a damp cloth and mild soap. Avoid soaking them or using harsh detergents. Ensure they are fully dry before storing.

What is the weight of the helmet?

The Petzl Boreo Helmet weighs approximately 285 grams, offering a balance between protection and weight.

Troubleshooting

Helmet feels unstable on the head

Adjust the headband for a tighter fit. Ensure the chin strap is properly secured and snug.

Poor airflow/feeling too warm

Ensure ventilation holes are not blocked. Consider using in cooler conditions or taking breaks to cool down.

Headlamp does not attach securely

Verify that the headlamp is compatible with the helmet's clips. Ensure the clips are not damaged and the headlamp is positioned correctly.

Headband adjustment is difficult

Gently manipulate the adjustment mechanism. If resistance persists, check for any obstructions.

Setup, Compatibility & Care

Setup: The helmet comes pre-assembled. Adjust the headband using the integrated system to achieve a snug and secure fit. Ensure the chin strap is comfortably fastened. The headband can be folded into the shell for compact storage when not in use.

Compatibility: The Petzl Boreo Helmet is compatible with the Petzl Vizion eye shield (sold separately) for enhanced facial protection. It also features four integrated clips designed for attaching most standard climbing headlamps.

Care: Clean the helmet using a soft cloth and mild soap and water. Avoid using harsh chemicals or abrasive cleaners, as these can damage the shell and liner materials. Store the helmet in a cool, dry place away from direct sunlight and extreme temperatures. Regularly inspect the helmet for any signs of damage, such as cracks, dents, or degradation of the foam liners. If significant damage is found, the helmet should be retired from use.
