The updated ultra-lightweight helmet for climbing and mountaineering

Remarkably lightweight for ambitious climbers and mountaineers. The SIROCCO helmet was designed to give you an exceptional weight-to-protection ratio (170 g). Lower in the back, the design provides greater coverage and offers enhanced protection over the entire head. Its low profile and superior ventilation give you all-day comfort.

Enhanced protection for rock climbing, mountaineering and ski touring


  • Ultra-lightweight design:
    - Perfect for long days at 170 g
    - Minimalist buckle and adjustable webbing for increased comfort and lighter weight
    - Hybrid construction with an EPP (expanded polypropylene) foam shell and rigid crown injected with EPS (expanded polystyrene) foam
  • Enhanced protection:
    - Designed in accordance with Petzl’s TOP AND SIDE PROTECTION label
    - Designed for optimal protection against impacts to the side, front, and rear of the head
  • Maximum comfort in action:
    - Open front profile makes the helmet rim invisible to the user and offers an unobstructed field of view
    - Headband and chinstrap webbing are fully adjustable
    - Low-profile buckle locks in place to help keep the chinstrap from loosening unintentionally
    - In addition to ventilation holes, the interior foam and liner feature integrated air channels for better air circulation
    - Two front clips and rear elastic band for securing a headlamp to the helmet

The Climbing Shop's opinion.

Our choice for the top pick out of all the helmets.  I was climbing one morning with a friend who had just got one from Europe.  After we finished climbing we went bouldering.  About 45 minutes into our bouldering session I asked him why he still had his helmet on.  "Shit, I forgot I had it on" was his reply.  "Give me that", I said. Having not seen the helmet before.  After holding it and trying it on, I knew instantly it was something the shop needed to stock. The soft webbing harness system is fully adjustable so it fits most peoples heads.  As, with anything that is worn by humans, it does not fit everyone.  The only negative customers have expressed about the helmet is it probably is not the best looking. So, if you value function over appearance, this helmet will more than satisfy.

1. How fragile is the helmet?
Having a very limited hard outer shell the helmet can be susceptible to getting dings. My personal example placing my Sirocco at the bottom of my pack and then dumping a full rack of gear with a nut tool poking out on top of it. Strength wise the helmet is awesomely strong. I have seen the Petzl rep stand on one.

2. I don't want the black one, it will be too hot?
Sure, it will be hotter on the surface that is facing the sun. You essentially have an 'esky' on your head, so the heat will not be transferring through the helmet.
