Edelrid Zodiac Climbing Helmet

Edelrid Zodiac Climbing Helmet

The Edelrid Zodiac Climbing Helmet pairs an EPS inner shell with an ABS outer shell. That hybrid build handles a single hard impact and the repeated small ones. It fits 55 to 61 cm (21.7 to 24 in) in one size, and carries EN 12492 and UIAA 106.

Features and Benefits

The folding cradle is the feature that gets this helmet packed rather than left behind. The internal harness collapses into the shell. That cuts the volume it takes in a rucksack, which matters on an approach where the helmet is not needed until you arrive.

Additionally, the hybrid shell construction plays to both failure modes. Foam absorbs energy by crushing, so it handles one large hit well but only once. A hard ABS outer spreads smaller repeated impacts and protects the foam underneath, and Edelrid tests the result at the side, front and back.

Moreover, large vents keep air moving. Three head torch clips take a lamp front and back. The chin strap adjusts fully with under-ear buckles, and the lining lifts out for washing.

Product-Specific Use Cases

This Edelrid Zodiac Climbing Helmet suits multi-pitch and via ferrata days in the Hajar range. The walk-in is long there and the pack matters as much as the route. It covers the approach scrambles at Jebel Jais and the wadi routes near Wadi Bih. The vents earn their keep on a shaded belay in October, when the air is still well above 30 degrees.
