Petzl Meteor III+

— Show original

I am now työmatkapyöräillyt with this helmet for almost a year and I dare to recommend it on behalf of about operating characteristics (winter) cycling. Fortunately, I have not had to test the protection against collisions. My choice was made for this because I wanted to get the helmet on the visor to replace the previous helmet + glasses combination. The glasses easily misted, soiled and sometimes forgotten from the trip. I just haven’t found any other similar models. Mainly there are those cross country masked men, but this was what I was looking for. The visor protects the face quite well from rain or snow. It should be noted, however, that the visor is rather short, so something like a hundred can hit the chin a little. The visor ends just below the nose. A positive surprise has been the frostlessness of the visor. It has an anti-fog treatment on the inside, which is why I haven't wiped it much from the inside. The fogging has usually disappeared immediately and in practice it has never hurt cycling with this helmet. Sure, if you breathe into the visor, it will frost, but the frost will practically fade away. At about -8 degrees, the lower part of the visor begins to freeze, but the frost does not rise into the field of view, but remains at the bottom. The downside I would consider is the cold air swirling across my face under the visor. This must have sought good defrosting. The helmet is light and the orange color also gets attention in traffic. I added a little more reflective tape along the helmet thinking dark. The latch and straps are good.
