Edelrid Salathe Lite – ultralight climbing helmet with Curv® shell
Couldn't load pickup availability
The Salathe Lite takes the ultra‑light design of the Salathe and trims almost 20% of the weight by replacing the classic hard shell with the advanced Curv® material. The result is a helmet that stays extremely light without losing real protection or ventilation.
A very light EPP foam core delivers strong shock absorption, while a targeted Curv® hard shell at the upper and front areas adds protection against rockfall. Large vents keep airflow high, and the minimalist strap system keeps bulk and pack size low. Removable, washable padding and simple adjustment make it easy to fit, clean, and use day after day.
