Description

Want to know how Tommy Caldwell climbed the Nose of El Cap in under two hours? He wore an Edelrid Salathe Helmet. Seriously it's so bloody light it will pull you up the cliff!

The Edelrid Salathe helmet is an ultra-light, well-ventilated climbing helmet with a hybrid design. The combination of a foam-injected EPP core and a partial ABS hard shell enables both optimum safety and a minimum weight. The ideal helmet for all uses where the lowest possible weight is required. At 210 grams there is now no excuse not to wear a helmet and it's suitable for sport climbing, trad climbing, ice climbing and mountaineering.
