Sweet Protection Ascender Mips Helmet

Yes. The Ascender is triple-certified for skiing, mountaineering, and climbing, meaning it meets the specific safety standards for all three activities. It is a true multi-sport helmet designed to handle the different impact profiles of both snow sports and rock climbing.

No, the Ascender does not include earpads. This is a deliberate design choice to keep the profile low and the weight down for touring and climbing, where you often need better hearing and less bulk.

The helmet features 108 penetration-proof vents, which provide exceptional airflow. Because it is designed specifically for the high exertion of ski touring and mountaineering, it is significantly more breathable than a standard resort ski helmet.

Absolutely. The helmet features integrated clips specifically designed to secure headlamps, as well as goggles. These clips keep your gear in place during transitions without adding unnecessary bulk.

Not at all. The rotational management system is integrated seamlessly into the helmet's interior. You won't feel it while wearing the helmet, but it provides critical protection against rotational forces in the event of an angled impact.

It is highly packable due to its low-volume, hybrid shell construction. It is designed to be easily strapped to the outside of a pack or stowed inside without taking up excessive space, making it ideal for long approaches.
