Some climbers in the past were reluctant to wear helmets when climbing because they found that plenty of the available helmets were rather heavy. Fortunately, with the development of materials that are lightweight yet strong and durable, there are now helmets you can wear that almost feels like you are not wearing it at all.
The Edelrid Ultralight Climbing Helmet is one of those light, comfortable, and well-ventilated head protection gears available in the market. A further advantage of this helmet is that it is less expensive than its competitors.
The outer shell is constructed out of impact-resistant polymers that enable the helmet to maintain its strength even after extended period of use and abuse. It also resists degradation from exposure to ultraviolet rays.
Inside the helmet are thick pads that absorb impact thrust upon the outer shell, thus protecting the wearer’s head. A suspension system consisting of straps on the back of the head, around the ears, and on the chin cinches the helmet securely.
A hook retention system effectively clamps most headlamps allowing you to proceed with your climb even in the dark.
