Climbing Helmet Salewa Kask Pura 2.0 — L/XL, faded green, safety-certified

The Salewa Kask Pura 2.0 in size L/XL with a faded green finish is a safety-certified climbing helmet designed for mountaineering, rock climbing and alpine activities. It combines a hard outer shell with an impact-absorbing liner to reduce the risk of head injury from falls or falling debris. The helmet features an adjustable fit system to secure the helmet during movement, ventilation channels for airflow and compatibility with headlamps and other climbing accessories.

Advantages

This helmet offers a balance of lightweight construction and robust protection, suitable for continuous use in alpine environments. The adjustable fit system ensures a stable and personalised fit across a range of head sizes, while the ventilation design improves comfort during strenuous climbs. Compatibility with headlamps and accessories makes it practical for early starts, long routes and technical climbs.

Suitable for

• Mountaineering and alpine routes
• Rock climbing and sport climbing crags
• Ice climbing and glacier travel when paired with appropriate insulation
• Via ferrata and guided ridge traverses

When it may not be suitable

The Salewa Kask Pura 2.0 is not intended for high‑speed impact sports such as downhill mountain biking or motorized activities; helmets specifically designed and certified for those uses are more appropriate. It is also not a full-face helmet and therefore does not provide chin and face protection required for some industrial or motor sports applications.

Key specifications

• Intended use: mountaineering, rock climbing and alpine activities
• Size category: L/XL with adjustable fit system
• Shell type: hard outer shell with impact‑absorbing inner liner
• Ventilation: integrated vents for airflow and heat dissipation
• Accessory compatibility: front and rear fittings for headlamps and attachments
• Finish: faded green colour

How to use

Place the helmet on your head and use the rear adjustment mechanism and chin strap to achieve a snug, stable fit without excessive pressure. Position the helmet so the front rim sits approximately two finger widths above the eyebrows to protect the forehead. Check that ventilation openings are clear of obstructions and attach a compatible headlamp to the designated fittings if needed. Inspect the helmet for cracks, deep dents or damaged straps before each use and replace it after a significant impact or according to the manufacturer's recommended service life.

What to consider before purchase

• Verify fit: ensure the L/XL size and adjustment range suit your head circumference.
• Intended activities: confirm the helmet's climbing certification matches your planned use (mountaineering, rock or ice climbing).
• Weight and comfort: consider ventilation and padding for long routes or hot conditions.
• Accessory needs: check for lamp and attachment compatibility if you use headlamps or communication devices.

Usage recommendations

Regularly inspect the helmet for signs of wear, store it away from heat and chemicals, and replace it after any significant impact. Use the adjustable fit system and chin strap to maintain a secure fit during technical moves and steep terrain.
