EDELRID
|
EDELRID is one of the most prestigious and innovative German brands in the fields of mountaineering, climbing, and workplace safety. It was founded on June 13, 1863, by Julius Edelmann and Carl Ridder—whose surnames were combined to create the brand name—in the Alpine town of Isny im Allgäu, Germany. Initially, the brand did not manufacture mountaineering gear; instead, it operated as a factory producing cords, braids, and fishing lines. The company boasts over 160 years of history in developing equipment for vertical activities. Today, the brand is part of the VAUDE Group (since 2006) and enjoys international renown in both the sports sector and the fields of industrial safety and Personal Protective Equipment (PPE). |
Why choose Edelrid climbing gear
Inventors of the modern rope
In 1953, Edelrid created the kernmantel (core and sheath) construction, the system used today by the entire industry to manufacture dynamic ropes.
Safety innovation
They develop practical solutions for critical situations, such as the Ohm/Ohmega device, designed to assist with belaying when there is a significant weight difference between the climber and the belayer.
Versatile and lightweight equipment
They offer a wide range of high-quality products—from multi-purpose harnesses like the Moe or Sendero to modular crampons and minimalist via ferrata energy absorbers—suitable for both beginners and professionals.
Sustainable commitment
