LIGHTWEIGHT & LOW RIDE HEIGHT

One of the lightest helmets on the market, weighing in at only 3.35 lb. / 53.6 oz. (1.52 kg.).
ARTICULATING DEFENDER VISOR
Designed to stow neatly in the fire helmet, the new Defender Visor snaps into place and can be deployed by simply pulling down on the lens. The Articulating Defender Visor articulates forward and back up to 14°, designed to stow in the fire helmet and deploys easily with a gloved hand.
LARGE D-RING & CLAMP
Large D-ring and clamp design make storage and hanging of accountability tags easy; the clamp securely fastens the edge trim to the helmet shell and aids in preventing displacement.
NEW LEATHER FRONTS & HOLDER DESIGNS
New 5.5 in. front and holder design option with five new front style choices, customizable with department identification. You can also carry on the tradition with 6 in. front holder options.
QUICK-CONNECT SOFT GOODS & EARLAPS

The design of soft goods makes them easy to remove and clean, helping firefighters align with NFPA 1851 guidelines. Pre-made holes fit right into the suspension. Headband and cushion liner designed to help reduce pressure points during prolonged wear. Earlaps quickly connect through a series of four quick-connect fasteners, aiding in preventing bunching of earlaps.
TENCATE TECASAFE PLUS TECHT4 SOFT GOODS
Redesigned soft goods utilize TenCate Tecasafe Plus TechT4 material, “TechT4 feels just like a t-shirt while offering lightweight, comfortable FR protection where you need it most — next to skin. Integrated wicking COOLDERM TECHNOLOGY offers enhanced moisture management to promote body temperature regulation and breathability. The base component of the multi-layer FR system, Tech T4 offers comfort with no-melt / no-drip next-to-skin protection.” From TenCate website
PROVEN SHELL RELEASE SYSTEM (SRS)
This unique design feature enables the Energy-absorption system to be released from the helmet shell when impacted from below the brim, leaving the energy-absorption assembly on the wearer’s head for continued thermal and impact protection. With the SRS, if your helmet comes off due to extenuating circumstances, such as a fall through a floor or roof, the impact cap is designed to separate from the helmet shell but remains on your head.
LASER ENGRAVED LABELING & RFID TAG
Improved helmet label durability and built-in RFID tag enable integration with FireGrid, simplifying asset management. Laser engraved labeling and RFID tag, improved helmet label durability and built-in RFID tag enable integration with FireGrid, simplifying asset management.
