THE EDELRID MADILLO

So, you don’t wear a helmet when climbing then. Quite right too after all so many reasons why not to, they don’t make you look cool, they are too heavy and they take up far too much room in your sack.

Well admittedly these have been good reasons although whether they outweigh the fact that a not too large rock could paralyse you or worse I’d think not, but these reasons stand up to scrutiny no longer with the arrival of the Edelrid Madillo.

This remarkable helmet folds up…
Yes that’s right, folds up, so taking up minimal space, it weighs a mere 380g and would, without a doubt, deserve a place on the climbing equivalent of the Top Gear Cool Wall.


The shell of the Madillo is manufactured from a high strength abrasion and impact resistant injected material whilst two different foam materials (EPP and EVA) provide optimum comfort and safety.

EPP provides shock absorption to the crown whilst the softer EVA lines the sides for optimum comfort. The rear panel of the helmet covers the neck and provides protection from impact from above when the wearer may be looking down. With a size adjustment range of 52cm through to 62cm there is a good chance that the Madillo will fit most heads.
