NEW Petzl Meteor - Should You Upgrade? | Climbing Daily Ep.1431

[@jeremyballard7461]

I’ve been using the helmet for a couple of months and been really pleased. I had an Elios and wanted the extra side and rear protection. The weight difference is a bonus. It is very comfortable, to the point where I forget that I am wearing it!

[@puffoclimber]

HI, any issues with holes on the Helmet?

[@jeremyballard7461]

@@puffoclimber no. Still loving it.

[@vincentkrause7097]

You didn't mention that a helmet only has a lifespam of up to seven years even if it looks perfect becsuse of the glue and polycarbobate which gets brittle and evaporate over the time espacially in the high altititude sun.

[@adamg961]

Actually other brands have stepped to the standard quite some time ago... BD have Vector and Vapor, Grivel has Stealth, Camp has the new Storm and Mammut has the Wallrider. So it's not that new a thing, the fuss around it is fresh.

[@backtonature.romania]

Your old helmet is the Meteor III, but the new one is the 5th version, or what Petzl calls it, Meteor.

[@schustermedia5032]

Bigger vents= higher chance of rock fall hitting your head?...

[@laurenchoe8136]

So great to see this channel really growing!

[@ToxicMemePoster]

"Is it worth the upgrade and should you sell your old helmet?" Used PPE lol

[@JanSchrewe]

Yeah. Cracked helmets are as cool as core shot ropes. Also those old slings from rappels are totally worth reusing...

[@alexanderrdseth3764]

The buckle is it a problem when you are beleying? Looking up on the mountain?

[@DrtyALGreen]

Ok what is the string looped around the peg in the for?

[@mikaelpetersson9113]

What's your thoughts on the size adjustment? I use a Boreo for caving and mine exploration and have some difficulties getting the adjustment right. The Meteor seems to have a very similar system. Other than that, this helmet may be my next choice for both climbing and skimo.

[@duncancox6220]

The Meteor 3 was rates for cycling and canoeing as well as climbing, not sure the new one is.

[@sebastianflynn1746]

It isn't but it is more protective than the meteor 3, it's just a rating they just didn't pay to put the meteor through the tests, for good reason it's pretty damn pointless.

[@puffoclimber]

What about little stones falling and holes around helmet?

[@patob3363]

wait wait wait wait wait...sell your old helmet...seriously? you gonna sell your 9 year old slings next???

[@shdw_co]

Bit late to comment but theres quite a few brands who actually buy second hand helmets, brands who are looking into producing helmets and need to do some R&R, or brands who are doing safety demonstrations or other educationally videos. Selling it to other consumers to use in outdoor terrain I can't see anyone would actually buy a second hand helmet but for the other stuff I mentioned its more likely.

[@trentsheath1808]

Such a shame they stayed with EPS instead of the more modern and less fragile EPP like the mammut wallrider and sirrocco.

[@davehause8571]

You didn't mention the buckle. It has to be the worse design out there, the magnets always clog up with dirt particles.

[@dailyclimbing]

Honestly we've never noticed that as a problem. The new design has been tweaked with the buckle as well, so it might be better...

[@GavynPendleton]

If my MTB one hasn’t clogged up yet I doubt a climbing one would

[@AMM1998]

Maybe you shouldn't be throwing your helmet in piles of dirt. Take better care of your shit. Nobody else seems to have that problem.

[@alexhartshorne8308]

Yeah the buckles are terrible here in Australia where the dirt has quite alot of iron in it. However the magnets can easily be removed by tapping out with a screwdriver.

[@duncancox6220]

Hope people remember the magnet it there when using a compass!

[@evan5295]

I’ve been considering this helmet, it seemed good!

[@dailyclimbing]

Matt wants it...he wants it bad.

[@sebastianflynn1746]

Old one looked better and the matte finish is worse for keeping your head cool, I have the previous meteor to this it's okay, but just super fragile.

[@Richybomb]

Why is a matte finish worse for keeping your head cool?

[@sebastianflynn1746]

@@Richybomb reflects less light and therefore heat.

[@UkSapyy]

Completely forgets about the foam between the head and the matte finish...

[@sebastianflynn1746]

@@UkSapyy the foam is an insulator sure but if you think the foam negates effects you clearly have never wore a dark coloured helmet vs a light coloured helmet, it makes a huge difference.

[@benedictionkupo]

in the market for a new helmet, getting bored of my hot/uncomfortable Decathlon special, maybe i'll invest

[@aumarigan]

2:18 Looks like a bicycle helmet

[@binezalohar]

[@madtrade]

As a motorcycle rider for over 30 years I have always hated helmets, they look stupid and actually impair vision and sound if they are full face. They are way too thick and heavy, even the lightest ones suck. With climbing I feel the same way, I hate them but I wear them, I wish they would make them thinner and lighter, don't tell me they don't have the technology, they do.
