Description
The Portwest PW55 ventilated safety helmet is the ideal solution for professionals seeking reliable head protection during heavy-duty tasks. This helmet is specifically designed for work environments where both impact protection and eye protection are mandatory. Thanks to the smart, integrated design featuring a retractable transparent visor, this model combines two essential protective items into one comfortable system, making separate safety glasses unnecessary on the work floor.
For which sectors and working conditions is this ventilated safety helmet suitable?
This ventilated safety helmet is ideally suited for the construction, logistics, and industrial sectors where there is a risk of falling objects. Thanks to its EN 397 certification, the robust ABS shell offers reliable protection at extreme temperatures ranging from minus thirty to plus fifty degrees Celsius.
The integrated ventilation openings in the helmet shell ensure constant air circulation that effectively cools the wearer's head during intensive work in warm conditions or indoors.
What do the EN 397 and EN 166 standards mean for this safety helmet?
The EN 397 standard guarantees that this helmet protects against falling objects and lateral deformation (LD) under extreme temperatures. The EN 166 (1 FT) standard indicates that the integrated, retractable visor is certified for optical class 1 clarity and provides protection against high-speed particle impact at extreme temperatures.
This makes the helmet a multifunctional PPE that simultaneously protects both your head and eyes in accordance with the strictest European safety requirements.
The 6-point textile harness and the headband, adjustable via a ratchet system, guarantee a perfect fit. The helmet is compatible with various ear defenders and has a service life of up to seven years.
