From REI:
"A lightweight multipurpose climbing helmet, the Petzl Altios features an innovative suspension system that creates a near-weightless feeling for excellent comfort. Altios hybrid suspension system combines an expanded polystyrene liner for shock absorption and a comfortable inner mesh liner that actually floats the helmet above the head. Injection-molded ABS plastic shell provides solid protection; expanded polystyrene liner absorbs shock from impacts. Climate Control System consists of front, side and rear vents that promote airflow through the space created by the hybrid suspension system. Vents can be closed in cold weather with the 6 plugs that are stored in the inner shell. Molded adjustment wheel is grippy for simple use; wheel fine-tunes the fit even while wearing the helmet. Padded front headband with mesh is removable for cleaning. Includes a removable Adapt clip for simple attachment of any Petzl headlamp (sold separately) that is equipped with the Adapt system. Headlamps can also be attached via the 4 clips. Narrow polyester chin strap can be adjusted forward or backward; adjustment buckles are placed to the side rather than under the chin for increased comfort. Compatible with the Petzl Vizion face shield, sold separately."
