Portwest Endurance Plus Helmet

Product Overview

The Endurance Plus Helmet is a high-performance safety solution designed for professionals who require uncompromising head protection in demanding work environments. Constructed with an unvented ABS shell, this helmet provides a robust barrier against impact, while the lack of vents makes it particularly suitable for environments where exposure to electrical hazards or falling debris is a primary concern. The inclusion of a 4-point chin strap as standard ensures that the helmet remains securely in place, even during vigorous movement or when working at heights.

Key Features

• ABS Shell Construction: The use of Acrylonitrile Butadiene Styrene (ABS) provides an exceptional strength-to-weight ratio, ensuring superior impact resistance without causing neck fatigue during long shifts.
• 6-Point Textile Suspension Harness: This internal harness system is designed to cradle the head comfortably while effectively distributing the force of an impact across a wider area.
• Wheel Ratchet Adjustment: The intuitive wheel ratchet system allows for precise, one-handed sizing adjustments, ensuring a secure and bespoke fit for every wearer.
• Included 4-Point Chin Strap: Unlike many standard helmets, the Endurance Plus comes with a dedicated chin strap to prevent the helmet from shifting or falling off during critical tasks.

Design & Performance

The design of the Endurance Plus Helmet prioritises structural integrity. The unvented shell is a deliberate choice for maximum protection; by removing ventilation slots, the helmet maintains a continuous surface that offers better protection against lateral deformation. The ABS material is inherently tough and resilient, capable of withstanding the rigours of a busy construction site or industrial facility.

Inside, the textile harness is a significant upgrade over plastic alternatives. It provides a softer contact point with the head and better moisture management, which is vital for comfort throughout the working day. Despite its substantial protection levels, the helmet remains comfortably lightweight, allowing for extended wear without discomfort.

Why No Customisation?

At MyWorkwear, we take safety seriously. We do not offer customisation on the Endurance Plus Helmet because the application of heat-pressed transfers or direct embroidery can potentially compromise the structural integrity of the ABS shell. Furthermore, applying adhesives or paints can mask small cracks or stress fractures that might occur over time. To ensure your PPE performs exactly as the manufacturer intended, we provide this item in its original, unadulterated state.

Use Cases

This helmet is an essential piece of equipment for a variety of trades. It is ideally suited for construction workers, electricians, and plumbers who require reliable head protection. Its secure fit and chin strap also make it a preferred choice for tree surgeons and mechanics who may find themselves working in awkward positions where a standard helmet might slip.

Practical Advice

When fitting your helmet, first adjust the textile harness to the correct depth for your head shape. Use the wheel ratchet at the rear to tighten the helmet until it feels secure but does not pinch. Always ensure the 4-point chin strap is clipped and adjusted snugly; a safety helmet that falls off during a stumble provides no protection at all.

Caring for your product

To maintain the life-saving properties of your Endurance Plus Helmet, it is vital to inspect the shell and harness daily. Look for any signs of cracking, discolouration, or fraying in the textile straps. Even a small hairline fracture can significantly reduce the helmet's ability to absorb impact.

Clean the helmet using only mild soap and warm water. Avoid using industrial solvents, petrol, or harsh chemical cleaners, as these can chemically degrade the ABS plastic, making it brittle and prone to failure. Ensure the helmet is dried naturally away from direct heat sources or prolonged sunlight, as UV exposure can also weaken the material over time.
