Portwest Endurance Carbon Look Helmet

Product Overview

The Endurance Carbon Look Helmet offers a sophisticated alternative to standard industrial head protection. Combining the structural integrity of a traditional safety helmet with a modern, high-quality hydro-dipped carbon fibre aesthetic, it provides a professional appearance without compromising on essential safety standards. Designed for those who require reliable protection against falling objects or impact, this vented helmet ensures the wearer remains comfortable and secure throughout the working day.

Key Features

• ABS Shell: The high-density construction offers robust impact resistance, ensuring the shell can withstand significant force to protect the wearer.
• Vented Design: Strategic ventilation allows for increased airflow, reducing heat build-up and improving comfort during prolonged use or in warmer environments.
• 6-Point Textile Harness: This internal suspension system distributes weight evenly across the head, providing a stable fit and reducing pressure points.
• Wheel Ratchet Adjustment: The intuitive adjustment system allows for a precision fit between 56cm and 63cm, ensuring the helmet stays secure regardless of head shape.
• 4-Point Chin Strap: Included as standard, this strap provides additional stability, keeping the helmet firmly in place during active tasks or in windy conditions.

Design & Performance

Performance is at the heart of the PC55 design. The shell is manufactured using a permanent high-quality hydro-dipping process to achieve its distinctive carbon fibre finish, which remains durable under various working conditions. Certified to EN 397, this helmet is tested to perform in extreme temperatures ranging from -30°C to +50°C, making it suitable for both cold storage environments and outdoor summer work. The lightweight nature of the ABS material ensures that while the helmet is sturdy, it does not become a burden during long shifts.

Why No Customisation?

At MyWorkwear, we prioritise your safety above all else. We do not offer customisation, such as printing or heat-applied logos, on this specific safety helmet. Modifying the shell or applying adhesives can potentially interfere with the structural integrity of the ABS material or obscure vital safety markings and certifications. To ensure the product maintains its EN 397 certification and provides the intended level of protection, it is sold exclusively in its original, manufacturer-approved form.

Use Cases

This helmet is an ideal choice for professionals across various sectors, including construction, plumbing, and electrical engineering. Its secure 4-point chin strap also makes it a preferred option for tree surgeons and mechanics who may work in positions where a standard helmet might slip. It is equally suited for site visitors who require high-specification PPE that reflects a professional corporate image.

Practical Advice

To achieve the best fit, use the wheel ratchet to adjust the harness until it is snug but comfortable before securing the chin strap. The sizing range of 56-63cm accommodates most adults. If working in particularly cold environments, ensure any thermal liners used are compatible with the 6-point harness to avoid compromising the helmet's stability on the head.

Caring for your product

Maintaining the integrity of your safety helmet is essential for ensuring continued protection. We recommend cleaning the shell and harness with warm, soapy water and a soft cloth. Avoid using harsh chemical cleaners or solvents, as these can degrade the ABS plastic and weaken the shell's impact resistance over time.

Regularly inspect the helmet for any signs of cracking, deep scratches, or brittleness. If the helmet sustains a significant impact, it must be replaced immediately, even if no damage is visible to the naked eye, as the internal structure may be compromised. Store the helmet in a cool, dry place away from direct sunlight to prevent UV degradation of the material.
