Edelrid Salathe Lite Lightweight Climbing Helmet, 50-58cm Icemint 72057-10

A ventilated rock climbing helmet with an ultra-light Curv shell that offers premium comfort and protection. The original Salathe was already a featherweight champion, but this latest model has shredded even more weight and the Salathe Lite quite remarkably 20 lighter than its older brother. Edelrid have achieved this by replacing the classic ABS shell with Curv, the latest generation of extremely high performance, thermoplastic material with similar properties to fibre-reinforced composites like carbon. This has resulted in a product that offers outstanding protection as well as excellent strength, rigidity and impact resistance, whilst being so lightweight youll barely know its there. Keeping with the ultra-light theme, a core comprised of expanded polypropylene provides stability and reliable shock absorption. The helmet has been ergonomically-shaped with removable washable padding and so it can be used with ski goggles too. Fitted with large vents that provide a constant supply of fresh and heat to keep you at optimum temperature whilst you climb. This enhanced by easily-adjustable harness straps and a fully-adjustable under-ear chin strap closure which all work to maintain a secure, comfortable fit and a small pack size.Impact tested according to EN 12492 guidelines and complete with 2 clips at the front and an elastic strap at the back for headlamp attachment, the Edelrid Salathe Lite really the ultimate ultra-light rock climbing helmet. Play it safe and guarantee safety and comfort with a helmet so weight-reduced youll hardly feel it on your head as you climb.
