Description

The SALATHE LITE is almost another 20% lighter than its big brother! This weight reduction was achieved by replacing the classic ABS shell with Curv®, the latest generation of an extremely high performance, thermoplastic material. It has similar properties to fiber-reinforced composites like carbon: good rigidity, high tensile strength, and exceptional impact resistance—all with a very low weight. With an ergonomic shape that encloses the head, the SALATHE LITE sits firmly on the head without being bulky and the deeper design ensures optimum impact protection on the sides as well as in the front and back of the head. The shape is also specially adapted for use with ski goggles.
