KARPOS PELMO ESSENTIAL HEADBAND Crimson

The Karpos Pelmo Essential Crimson headband is a lightweight and breathable headband made from stretch fabric with a brushed interior, designed to protect you from the cold during winter activities. At 11 cm high and weighing just 16 grams, it offers an excellent balance of warmth and breathability without restricting your movement.

What conditions and activities is it suited to?

It is a versatile technical accessory for winter and transitional conditions. It is designed for a wide range of outdoor enthusiasts who need reliable protection for their ears and forehead from the cold and wind. Thanks to its high breathability and quick-drying properties, it is ideal for high-intensity sports such as ski touring, mountain running, mountaineering and even winter mountain biking.

Key features and material

• Material (85 % polyamide, 15 % elastane): Provides a high degree of stretch for a comfortable fit and durability with frequent use.
• Brushed interior: The soft lining on the inside feels comfortable against the skin and provides additional thermal insulation on cold days.
• 11 cm height: The optimal width fully covers the ears and forehead while allowing it to be worn easily under a helmet.
• Exceptionally low weight: At just 16 grams, the headband is barely noticeable when worn and can easily be stowed in any jacket or rucksack pocket.

In use

For ski touring and mountain running, the brushed interior effectively retains warmth, while the breathable outer layer allows sweat to wick away quickly on steep climbs.

On mountaineering trips and during winter mountain biking, the headband’s slim profile and 11 cm height make it an excellent under-helmet layer, as it does not form uncomfortable creases beneath a climbing or cycling helmet.
