Description
Very comfortable:
Six-point textile suspension adapts perfectly to the shape of the head
CENTERFIT feature allows you to center the helmet on the head using the two side adjustment wheels
FLIP&FIT system allows the headband to be positioned low on the head and offers a secure fit; the system folds into the shell for easy storage and transport
Comes with interchangeable standard comfort foam
Protection designed for work at height and on the ground, day or night:
DUAL chinstrap allows the worker to adjust chinstrap strength in order to adapt the helmet to different environments: work at height (EN 12492) or on the ground (EN 397). The clip has two positions corresponding to two different uses: high strength to limit the risk of losing the helmet during a fall, and low strength to limit the risk of strangulation if the helmet is snagged while the user is on the ground.
Shock absorption is achieved through deformation of the outer shell
Unventilated outer shell protects against electrical hazards and flames
Fluorescent outer shell with phosphorescent clips and reflective bands provides optimal visibility of the worker, day or night
Modular accessories:
Eye shield with EA
