Portwest Endurance Badge Holder Helmet

Product Overview

The Endurance Badge Holder Helmet is a sophisticated evolution of our established head protection range, specifically designed for modern industrial environments where identification is as critical as safety. Based on the proven architecture of the PS55 model, this orange safety helmet features a unique, ultra-sound welded badge holder. Unlike clip-on alternatives, this holder is a permanent, integral part of the ABS shell, ensuring that your site access cards or credentials remain secure and visible at all times.

Key Features

• Integrated Polycarbonate Badge Holder: The flame-resistant holder provides a secure, slide-opening compartment for identification cards, protecting them from the elements while keeping them visible for site access.
• Vented Design: The shell is engineered with ventilation points to encourage air-flow, significantly reducing heat build-up and improving wearer comfort during long shifts.
• 4-Point Chin Strap: Every helmet comes equipped with a secure 4-point strap, ensuring the head protection stays correctly positioned even when working at height or in high-wind conditions.
• Robust ABS Construction: The shell is manufactured from high-impact Acrylonitrile Butadiene Styrene, offering superior protection against falling objects and lateral deformation.

Design & Performance

Engineered for durability, the PB55 model combines a sturdy ABS shell with a flame-resistant polycarbonate badge holder. This combination of materials ensures the helmet remains a lightweight choice for the wearer without sacrificing structural strength. Performance is guaranteed across a broad spectrum of environments, as the helmet is certified to maintain its protective properties in temperatures ranging from -30°C to +50°C. This makes it an exceptionally reliable choice for both cold-storage facilities and high-heat industrial settings.

Why No Customisation?

As this helmet is a critical piece of Personal Protective Equipment certified to EN 397 standards, we do not offer external printing or embroidery services for this item. Applying heat, pressure, or chemical adhesives to the shell can compromise the integrity of the ABS material and potentially invalidate the safety certification. To ensure your maximum protection, the helmet should remain in its original, manufacturer-approved state.

Use Cases

This helmet is the ideal solution for construction workers, site managers, and contractors operating on large-scale infrastructure projects where secure identification is mandatory. Its orange colour ensures high visibility, while the badge holder is perfect for housing electronic site access cards, emergency contact information, or professional credentials.

Practical Advice

For the best fit, adjust the internal harness so the helmet sits level on the head, not tilted back or forward. The 4-point chin strap should be tightened until it is snug but not restrictive. If you are frequently moving between indoor and outdoor environments, the vented shell will help regulate your temperature effectively.

Caring for your product

Proper maintenance of your safety helmet is vital to ensure it provides the full level of protection required by EN 397 standards. A neglected helmet may fail to perform correctly in the event of an impact.

Clean the shell and badge holder using only mild soap and warm water. Avoid the use of industrial cleaners or bleaches, as these chemicals can react with the ABS plastic, causing it to become brittle and prone to shattering upon impact. Ensure the badge holder slide remains free of grit to prevent scratching your identification cards.

Never dry the helmet near a direct heat source or leave it on a vehicle dashboard in direct sunlight. High temperatures and UV exposure can degrade the plastic over time, reducing its impact resistance. If the helmet suffers a significant blow, it must be replaced immediately, regardless of whether damage is visible to the naked eye.
