HAILOT LT: lightweight ski touring helmet without MIPS

New in the Julbo range is the HAILOT LT, a lightweight, well-ventilated helmet for ski tourers and ski mountaineers. According to Julbo it is certified for both skiing and climbing and, with its precise fit and functional features, offers everything needed for fast ascents and demanding descents. By doing without MIPS®, it is a more affordable alternative to the HAILOT LT MIPS®.

HAILOT LT and HAILOT LT MIPS in the BACKLINE Review 2026

Both helmets already feature in our Review 2026. According to our data sheet, the HAILOT LT weighs 330 g at an RRP of €169.90, the HAILOT LT MIPS 360 g at an RRP of €239.90. Both are certified to CE 1077 (skiing) and EN 12492 (climbing) and come in sizes S, M and L. For €70 more, the HAILOT LT MIPS adds MIPS® against rotational forces; the HAILOT LT is 30 g lighter.

The other HAILOT models

The HAILOT series (ISPO Award 2024) comprises four helmets. According to Julbo, the HAILOT FREERIDE MIPS® is designed specifically for deep snow, while the HAILOT MIPS® is meant as a versatile all-rounder on and off piste. We featured both models in our Review 2025.

CELEST: visor helmet with a magnetic visor

On the CELEST the visor is not pushed upwards but lifted forwards and laid on top of the helmet, where magnets hold it. According to Julbo, the photochromic REACTIV visor adapts to changing light; ERT® technology adds protection on impact and a Fidlock® magnetic buckle makes it easy to use.

Goggles: STORMCHASER, BANGER and SHADOW

The STORMCHASER combines a large spherical lens with a slim frame, photochromic REACTIV or SPECTRON lenses, the SureLock system and an extra-wide silicone strap. It also features in our Review 2026.

The BANGER relies on a large cylindrical lens, Air-Flow ventilation and an anti-fog coating; according to Julbo it is made in Europe. The SHADOW is designed for narrow to medium face shapes. Both are available with REACTIV or SPECTRON lenses.

FASTER: sports sunglasses for cross-country and ski touring

The FASTER is an almost frameless pair of sports sunglasses with a large spherical shield lens, flexible temples and an adjustable nose pad that, according to Julbo, also stays put under a helmet. It comes in sizes S, L and XL.
