Weighing 305 grams, it reliably protects the head during sport climbing, mountaineering, via ferrata, canyoning, and caving. The Borea is a hybrid construction climbing helmet, meaning that beneath the hard outer shell, which distributes the impact energy from falling objects, a foam core snugly envelops the head and absorbs shocks and impacts through deformation. This makes the helmet compact in design, fits well on the head, and is very robust.

It can be individually adjusted via the flexible headband, and it is slightly deeper at the back. The design, size, and headband allow for the helmet, specifically designed for women, to be worn comfortably with long hair tied in a ponytail. The large side ventilation holes ensure a good helmet climate.

In addition to top impact protection, Petzl has also equipped the Borea with lateral impact protection, which provides extra protection for the head, especially in falls and impacts against rocks or ice.
