6. Grivel Stealth

With its geometric design, the Stealth climbing helmet from Grivel already looks a bit futuristic! It weighs just 190 grams, making it the first choice for sport and alpine climbers who want to be as light as possible. The fact that the hybrid helmet, despite its low weight and the extra large ventilation openings, by no means has to be lowered when it comes to safety is proven by its design: A robust ABS hard shell is used on the outside, which reliably protects against stone chips; the deformable EPS foam is processed underneath. This allows impact and impacts to be effectively absorbed. The incident energy is distributed over a large area of the foam so that serious injuries can be avoided. All in all, the Stealth is not only a visual highlight, but also in terms of comfort and protection the helmet plays right at the front. Perfect for warm temperatures and summery pitches!
