Silver Winner In The Category Climbing
The C.A.M.P. Aeris is a super-lightweight climbing helmet with In-Mold EPP construction and has been recognised with the European Outdoor Award in the climbing category. It combines state-of-the-art protective materials with a minimalist design and a thoughtful strap adjustment system meeting the new EN 12492:2025 and UIAA 106 standards.
At its core is the patented SHIELDTEXA technology (pat. pend.), which combines UHMWPE felt (known as Dyneema®) with EPS foam to optimise protection against impacts and sharp objects. The key innovation is the single-piece shell in which all inner components are directly co-moulded – eliminating connection parts, preventing detachment, and enabling a cleaner, more minimalist design.
What convinced the jury:
★ New SHIELDTEXA technology:
Dyneema® Inside: The combination of UHMWPE felt and EPS foam uses flexible, high-strength fibres to provide highly effective protection against penetration and sharp objects.Single-Piece
★ Co-Mould Shell:
All inner components are directly integrated into the shell eliminating additional fastening parts.
★ Symmetrical Strap Adjustment System:
The new rear adjustment system creates even tension without a dial adjuster, keeping the helmet stable and centred on the head for enhanced comfort.
Jury Statement:
We appreciated how this helmet combines advanced protection technologies with an exceptionally lightweight and minimalist construction. The helmet-carrying net instead of disposable packaging is also a nice touch.
Product Scoring:
A lightweight, single-piece design
The integration of SHIELDTEXA technology with In-Mold EPP construction delivers enhanced impact and penetration protection in a clean single-piece shell design, which improves durability, reduces component complexity, and demonstrates a highly refined approach to modern climbing helmet engineering. Accordingly, the C.A.M.P Aeris has an Innovation Score of 66.7 per cent.
