Edelrid Cable Kit Ultralite VII Via Ferrata Set

Edelrid Cable Kit Ultralite VII Via Ferrata Set

The Edelrid Cable Kit Ultralite VII Via Ferrata Set is the ultralight option in the Cable Kit range, certified to EN 958 and EN 12275 for users between 40 and 120 kg. Thin elasticated arms made from wear-resistant HMPE give a long reach without the bulk of webbing lanyards.

Features and Benefits

Arm construction is where the weight goes on a via ferrata set. HMPE lets Edelrid make the arms thin and light while keeping abrasion resistance, and the elastic keeps them retracted so the carabiners stay near your hands instead of swinging around your knees.

Moreover, the energy absorber meets EN 958:2017, which is the version of the standard that added low impact force requirements across all weight classes. That is the change that made via ferrata sets usable by lighter climbers and children as well as heavier adults.

Plus, Edelrid states the set still meets EN 958:2017 with 180 degree misuse, meaning it performs when the arms end up loaded the wrong way round. That is worth more than any figure on a spec sheet, because misuse is what actually happens on a route.

A rest loop sits directly at the shock absorber so you can take weight off your arms at a stance, and the superlight carabiners are easy to operate one handed. A packing bag is included for stowing the set in a rucksack.

Product-Specific Use Cases

The UAE has no self-guided via ferrata, so this is mostly a travel purchase. Buyers here are heading to the Alps, the Dolomites or Oman, and the low weight and small pack size are what make it worth the luggage allowance. It also suits guides working with clients, and climbers who want a set of their own rather than rental kit.
