Product description

In Sanskrit, Vayu means air or wind. A good name for Salewa's climbing helmet. With its generous venting slits letting fresh air in around the head, making it more comfortable to wear.

But the Vayu's true highlight is its special construction: a carbon-reinforced polymer hardshell with an unbeatable strength-to-weight ratio. Unusual for a hybrid helmet, the padding is not a shock-absorbing EPS core, but the more advanced EPP (expanded polypropylene). This material is highly energy-absorbant and springs back into its original shape after being deformed by an impact or rockfall. In other words, this multi-impact-system keeps protecting your head even after multiple shocks.

Finally, the Vayu offers an appreciable weight economy coupled with comfortable wear. Salewa uses its intelligent construction to achieve maximum protection even with hard and frequent use.

Absolutely not worth the money!

No fit at all, feels like you are with pan on your head
Cheap adjustment system, if you can call it a adjustment system at all.
Only good for winter, cause you must wear thick hat to achieve some fit.
Good example for pure disappointment.
Only good think about this helmet is exterior look,
and it look much better on the pictures.
I have yellow one and the colour not match the pictures, it's size L\XL and my head circumference is 61 cm and it feels like a little kid wears hiss big daddy war helmet.
I have also Black Diamond's Vector and Petzl's Meteor II and this one not any close to fit and adjustment ability to any of those.
I've been fooled by the good look on the pictures to purchase this helmet.
If you are like me and I am very suspicious to negative reviews, just try this one before purchase it online .
