Edelrid Salathe Lite Climbing Helmet

Product description

Ultralight climbing helmet | comfortable and ergonomic | small pack size

The SALATHE LITE is almost another 20% lighter than its big brother! We have achieved this weight reduction by replacing the classic ABS shell with Curv®, the latest generation of an extremely high performance, thermoplastic material. It has similar properties to fiber-reinforced composites like carbon: good rigidity, high tensile strength, and exceptional impact resistance—all with a very low weight.

Features

• Ultra-light EPP core (expanded polypropylene) for outstanding shock absorption and high dimensional stability
• Easily adjustable harness straps for a secure fit, minimal pack size, and excellent ventilation
