Edelrid Kids Shield II – helmet for kids and teens

The Kids Shield II is a popular, stylish softshell helmet made for children and teenagers. It’s lightweight, well-ventilated, and easy to fit, so it works well for gym sessions, outdoor climbing, and general mountain use for young climbers.

Large vents and airflow design keep the head cool, while the interior padding is removable and washable to stay hygienic over time. A simple, fully adjustable chin strap and a refined adjustment system ensure a secure, comfortable fit. The helmet also includes multiple headlamp clips for early mornings or late evenings on the wall.
