Edelrid Ultralight Iii Helmet | Granita | One Size | 54-60cm

When every ounce matters on the mountain, a lightweight helmet becomes essential gear rather than optional protection. This advanced climbing helmet from Edelrid delivers premium safety without the burden, engineered specifically for alpine mountaineers, sport climbers, and backcountry skiers who refuse to compromise between weight and protection. Its minimalist design philosophy doesn't sacrifice coverage or impact absorption—instead, it represents years of German engineering focused on what truly matters: keeping your head safe while letting you move freely.

• Exceptional 160-gram weight reduces fatigue on long climbs and multi-pitch routes without sacrificing protective standards
• Hybrid construction combining EPS foam with hard outer shell provides superior impact absorption across various impact angles
• Extended rear coverage protects the back of the head and neck, addressing common impact zones in climbing falls
• Adjustable ventilation system with strategically positioned air channels prevents overheating during sustained aerobic effort
• Innovative sizing system with removable padding allows precise customization for different head shapes and seasonal use with beanie compatibility
• Meets or exceeds EN 12492 climbing helmet safety standards and CE certification requirements
• Integrated chin strap with secure fastening system remains stable during dynamic movement and fall scenarios
• Low-profile silhouette minimizes obstruction of peripheral vision critical for route finding and hazard awareness

In real-world alpine environments, this helmet proves its worth on long approach hikes where every gram compounds fatigue, during sustained ice climbing where ventilation prevents sweat buildup, and on mixed terrain where rockfall hazard persists. Climbers report appreciable reduction in neck strain during multi-pitch rock climbing, while backcountry users value the combination of lightweight construction and extended coverage when skiing couloirs or traversing terrain with objective hazard exposure. The balance between minimal bulk and comprehensive protection makes it equally effective for sport climbing gym sessions and serious alpine expeditions where equipment weight directly impacts climbing performance and safety margins.

This helmet suits dedicated climbers who spend significant time at elevation or on extended rock climbing routes, mountaineers pursuing alpine objectives where cumulative weight matters, and ski mountaineers balancing protection with mobility. Whether you're climbing ice in the Cascades, mixed terrain in the Alps, or pursuing multi-pitch rock climbs where helmet comfort directly impacts focus and decision-making, this represents thoughtful engineering for serious mountain pursuits.
