Edelrid Kids Shield Softshell Climbing Helmet

Edelrid Kids Shield Softshell Climbing Helmet

The Edelrid Kids Shield Softshell Climbing Helmet fits heads from 48 to 56 cm (18.9 to 22 in) and is built in-mould, which means the polycarbonate shell is bonded to the foam core rather than clipped over it. That keeps the weight down on a neck that is still growing. It carries EN 12492 and UIAA 106.

Features and Benefits

The in-mould construction matters more for children than for adults. A heavy helmet on a small frame gets taken off, and a helmet that is off protects nobody. Bonding a tough polycarbonate shell to an expanded polystyrene core gives impact protection at a weight a child will actually tolerate for a full session.

Additionally, Edelrid impact tests the shell to EN 12492 at the side, front and back rather than the crown alone. Children fall sideways and swing into walls more often than they take rockfall, so where the protection sits is as relevant as how much there is.

Moreover, the Wing Fit system with a rear dial adjusts one-handed as a child grows. The chin strap closes under the ear rather than on the jawline. The shaped interior padding is removable and washable, and four head torch clips are built in.

Product-Specific Use Cases

Family climbing here happens at Hatta, Wadi Bih and the indoor walls across Dubai and Sharjah, and Edelrid Kids Shield Softshell Climbing Helmet that vents well is the difference between a child finishing a session and asking to stop. Note the bicycle standard is conditional. Only versions with an orange opening mechanism and an orange Wing Fit system also meet EN 1078, so check the colour before using it on a bike.
