Petzl BOREA Durable Women's Helmet with Ponytail Compatibility - Navy Blue

Overview

Meet the Petzl BOREA, a durable and versatile helmet designed with active women in mind. The helmet blends a secure, feminine fit with practical features that support comfortable wear during climbing, caving, and group activities. A navy blue finish adds a sleek, low-profile look that pairs well with outdoor gear while staying easy to spot on the wall or in the cave entrance.

Ponytail-friendly design for real-life motion

The standout feature is the exclusive OMEGA headband, which includes a pronounced rear notch to comfortably accommodate a ponytail or bun. The headband folds neatly into the shell for compact storage between outings, helping you travel lighter without sacrificing fit or convenience.

• PONYTAIL COMPATIBLE: Large rear notch supports ponytails or buns for unrestricted movement.
• WOMEN'S SPECIFIC FIT: Sized 52–58 cm with smoother lines for a feminine silhouette that still prioritizes protection.
• RUGGED DURABILITY: Thick, hard ABS outer shell resists scratches and impacts for demanding use.
• ENHANCED PROTECTION: Top and Side Protection label extends coverage from multiple directions.
• VENTILATED & STABLE: Large ventilation holes and airflow channels help regulate temperature while a secure suspension keeps the helmet in place.

Durable construction you can rely on

Building on Petzl’s Hybrid Construction, the BOREA combines a robust ABS shell with dual EPP/EPS foam liners. This layering offers long-lasting resilience and energy absorption across varied activities, from roped climbs to bouldering sessions and group expeditions. The design emphasizes coverage at the rear and sides, so you feel steadier as you move through dynamic routes or navigate uneven terrain.

Comfort that travels with you

Ventilation is designed to keep you cooler during strenuous moves, while internal channels and a secure suspension system help maintain a balanced, stable feel on the head. The combination of materials and fit aims to reduce fatigue over extended sessions, so you can focus on your technique and route choices rather than adjusting equipment constantly.

Sizing, warranty, and practical details

The BOREA is sized for women in the 52–58 cm range and ships as a single-size option that fits a variety of head shapes with a tailored feel. Petzl backs it with a 3-year warranty, reflecting confidence in its durability and performance across diverse environments.

Real-use possibilities

Whether you’re launching a weekend sport climb, guiding a cave expedition, or joining a climbing gym group, the BOREA’s design aims to support your natural movements, keep you comfortable through long sessions, and provide dependable protection along the way. It’s a thoughtful blend of style, fit, and function that doesn’t promise guarantees, but does offer features you can rely on when the moment counts.
