Key strengths

• Open-cell foam engineering: rapid moisture evacuation and effective perspiration absorption with no residual build-up
• Machine washable: straightforward maintenance with no specialist cleaning agents required — protective gear is ready for the next session
• 10 g featherweight: this insert adds no perceptible load and does not affect the balance of the protective shell
• Durable polyethylene: wear-resistant material that holds its structural integrity after repeated machine wash cycles
• Wide PETZL compatibility: a single reference covers the main sport and vertical models (BOREO, BOREO CAVING, METEOR, SIROCCO, BOREA, BOREO CLUB)
• Genuine PETZL spare part: dimensional compatibility guaranteed — no cutting or adapting required

Warranty and certifications

As a genuine PETZL spare part, these absorbent pads carry the manufacturer's 3-year warranty against material or manufacturing defects. As a maintenance accessory, they carry no PPE certification of their own — the certified component is the host protective shell (BOREO, METEOR, SIROCCO or BOREA, certified EN 12492 or EN 397 depending on model).
