Climbing Gear Reviews UK Performance 4/5 Durability 5/5 Value 5/5

This is the first Edelrid helmet I’ve tried and I love it. On first impressions it’s light and doesn’t feel too fragile, as though it will crack when stuffed in a rucksack with all my climbing kit – though of course you still need to be careful. The Zodiac is a hybrid helmet in that it’s made from an ABS shell outer and an expanded polystyrene foam inner shell. Plus it only weighs in at 359g (Edelrid’s Zodiac Lite weighs in at 335g). Whilst it’s not the lightest helmet on the market, at least I don’t feel like I’m carrying a brick on my head and I know it’s not going to blow away in the slightest of breezes – which I’ve witnessed can be a risk with some of the even lighter helmets that are now available.

Climbing Gear Review

At first glance, the Zodiac looks like something out of the movie Tron. When you snap the chinstrap buckle the first time, it’s hard to know whether to tie in or ride off on a light cycle. Behind its futuristic Euro elegance is a very functional and comfortable helmet. The rear adjustment dial and “wing-fit” cradling system conformed easily to awkward-shaped noggins. The helmet is fairly lightweight at 13.4 oz., but the EPS foam liner and the rigid plastic outer shell don’t compromise on safety. The Zodiac has good ventilation and a raised brow to give you plenty of room to see what’s above. Additional foam toward the rear provides added protection should you crack the back of your noodle. Edelrid has moved the buckle closure to almost directly under your ear, so it won’t rub under your chin as with other helmets, and the buckle is easy to open or close, even with bulky gloves.
