Edelrid Salathe – Ultra‑light, well‑ventilated climbing helmet
Verfügbarkeit für Abholungen konnte nicht geladen werden
The Salathe is built for climbers who want a very light helmet without giving up real protection or ventilation. Its hybrid design combines an ultra‑light foam core with a partial hard shell, keeping weight down while delivering robust impact resistance.
Thanks to the EPP foam core and a strategically placed ABS hard shell, the Salathe absorbs shocks effectively and stays dimensionally stable, yet remains extremely light and compact. Large vents and a minimal strap system keep airflow strong and bulk low, so the helmet stays comfortable in hot weather and packs easily.
Practical details make it a versatile everyday helmet: removable, washable padding for hygiene and longevity, simple adjustment straps for a secure fit, and headlamp attachments for early starts or late finishes. Tested to the relevant climbing helmet standard, it’s ideal for a wide range of mountain uses.

arrampica! tip
If you often climb in hot, exposed conditions or carry your helmet for long approaches, the Salathe is a fantastic pick. It keeps weight and heat down without losing real protection or useful details. Pair it with a lightweight harness and a compact via ferrata set for a truly minimal, fast mountain setup.
