The Petzl BOREO CAVING helmet is the specialist caving helmet designed specifically for serious cavers who need a dedicated helmet with integrated mounting plates for Petzl DUO headlamps. Composed of the proven BOREO helmet equipped with both front and rear mounting plates for the DUO headlamp series, the Petzl BOREO CAVING helmet delivers the complete caving lighting solution that professional cavers across India demand. Available exclusively at Allied SEPL — India’s sole authorized Petzl distributor.
Why the Petzl BOREO CAVING is the Definitive Helmet for Indian Cavers
India has some of the most extraordinary cave systems in the world. Meghalaya’s cave networks — including Krem Liat Prah, one of the longest cave systems in Asia — attract serious cavers from across the country and internationally. Chhattisgarh, Karnataka, Andhra Pradesh, and Uttarakhand also have significant cave systems regularly explored by Indian cavers.
Professional cave exploration demands specialized equipment. A standard climbing helmet with a basic headlamp clip simply cannot meet the demands of technical caving where you need powerful, perfectly positioned lighting that stays secure during crawling, squeezing through tight passages, and navigating underground water features.
The Petzl BOREO CAVING helmet was designed specifically for this — integrated DUO headlamp mounting plates that position the powerful DUO headlamp exactly where professional cavers need it, locked securely in place regardless of orientation.

The DUO Mounting System — Why It Matters for Serious Cavers
Standard headlamp clips on regular helmets are designed for occasional use on surface activities. In caves they simply don’t provide the stability and security that serious caving demands.

✅ Rock-solid headlamp stability during crawling and squeezing
✅ Correct headlamp angle maintained in all positions
✅ Front plate → primary lighting position
✅ Rear plate → backup or group signaling position
