## Summary description

Petzl A042VA00 is an open-face sports helmet with a hybrid shell construction and an ABS outer shell in matt white finish. Designed for general protective use in outdoor sports, it provides impact protection while remaining lightweight and ventilated. Suitable for climbing, via ferrata and other activities where a compact, hard-shell helmet is needed.

## Long description

The Petzl A042VA00 BOREO caving helmet is an open-face protective helmet with a hybrid shell construction and a matt white finish. It combines a thick ABS outer shell with EPP and EPS foam liners to offer compact yet comprehensive coverage for lateral, frontal and rear impacts. The helmet includes front and rear mounting plates for compatible headlamps and features a foldable soft headband that tucks into the shell for storage.
Advantages
The hybrid construction with a hard ABS outer shell and multi-density foam liners provides robust durability while keeping the helmet compact on the head. The design increases coverage to improve protection from impacts on the sides, front and rear. Removable front and rear mounting plates allow secure attachment of DUO-series headlamps. The closed-cell comfort foam resists water and sweat, making the helmet easy to clean and suitable for wet or humid environments.
Suitable for
Caving and spelunking where lamp mounting and extended head protection are needed
Outdoor rescue or work in confined spaces requiring impact protection
Technical approaches and rope access where a secure lamp attachment is useful
When it may not be suitable
This helmet is an open-face caving helmet designed primarily for activities where a headlamp is mounted; it may not be the best choice when full-face protection is required or when users need a very lightweight minimalist helmet. It is also intended for specific impact protection standards and not for helmet types designed for motorcycling or high-speed impacts.
Key specifications
Helmet type: Open-face helmet
Construction: Hybrid shell (ABS outer shell with EPP and EPS foam liners)
Shell material: Acrylonitrile butadiene styrene (ABS)
Finish: Matt white
Headband: Soft, foldable, stores inside shell
Lamp compatibility: Front and rear plates for DUO RL, DUO S, DUO Z2 headlamps (lamp not included)
How to use
Fit the helmet so the soft headband sits comfortably and securely around the head, adjusting for a snug fit. Mount a compatible DUO-series headlamp to the front (and rear if needed) by fastening it to the threaded plates on the helmet. After use, fold the headband into the shell for compact storage. Rinse or wipe the closed-cell comfort foam and shell to clean; the foam does not absorb water or sweat.
What to consider before purchase
Ensure size S/M fits your head circumference (check manufacturer size guidance)
Verify compatibility with your preferred headlamp model (DUO RL, DUO S, DUO Z2)
Confirm whether an open-face helmet meets your protection needs versus full-face alternatives
Usage recommendations
The helmet is intended for caving and similar activities—use it with a compatible DUO-series headlamp and inspect foam liners and shell for damage before each use. Replace the helmet if it sustains a significant impact or shows signs of structural damage.
