The Petzl® Altious™ Climbing helmet with a hybrid suspension system, composed of a mesh panel and expanded polystyrene liner, makes this helmet extremely lightweight and comfortable to wear. Thanks to this innovative design, the helmet "levitates" above the head for a near-weightless feeling.

No, I would not recommend this to a friend
i bought this helmet and owned for 24 hours. its sit way to high on ur head and feels like it is always going to fall off. and if u dont have it strap to ur head in a rest position the slightest wind makes it feel like is gonna fall off.... i brought back as soon as possible and bought my self a meteor 3 helmet..... by far the greatest helmet ever created
Eastern Mountain Sports Response:Helmets like almost everything else come down to fit. Sounds like the Altios wasn't the right fit for you! Appreciate the review and we're happy you found the Meteor and it fits you well!

Was very disapointed with the fit and ended up returning this helmet and going with another.
It did not fit correctly, and left many areas of the head exposed with we felt was a strong safety concern. Chin straps would not adjust to a good fit.
