Portwest Endurance Plus Visor Helmet

Product Overview

The Endurance Plus Visor Helmet is a comprehensive head protection solution, engineered for professionals who require integrated safety features without compromising on comfort. This unvented ABS shell helmet provides a robust barrier against impact hazards, while the inclusion of a retractable clear visor ensures that eye protection is always at hand when the task demands it. The striking orange finish provides high visibility on busy sites, ensuring you are easily spotted by colleagues and vehicle operators alike.

Key Features

• Unvented ABS Shell: The solid Acrylonitrile Butadiene Styrene construction offers superior structural strength and protection against lateral deformation, providing peace of mind in high-risk environments.

• Integrated Polycarbonate Visor: The PW56 retractable clear visor is included as standard, offering immediate eye protection that can be tucked away when not in use to prevent scratching.

• 6-Point Textile Suspension Harness: This system effectively distributes the force of any impact across the widest possible area of the head, significantly reducing the risk of injury.

• Wheel Ratchet Adjustment: Allows for precise sizing between 56cm and 63cm, ensuring the helmet remains secure even when working at heights or in awkward positions.

• Comfort Sweatband and Chin Strap: These additions ensure the helmet remains comfortable during long shifts and stays firmly in place during active movement.

Design & Performance

The design of the Endurance Plus focuses on durability and long-term wearability. The ABS material is chosen for its exceptional toughness and heat resistance, resulting in a substantial, sturdy helmet that feels secure without being unnecessarily heavy. The unvented design is particularly beneficial for those working in environments where debris or electrical hazards may be present, as it eliminates points of entry for foreign objects.

The internal 6-point textile harness is a significant upgrade over plastic alternatives, providing a softer fit that contours to the shape of the wearer's head. Combined with the wheel ratchet system, this allows for a bespoke fit that maintains stability throughout the working day.

Why No Customisation?

This item is classified as critical Personal Protective Equipment (PPE) and is sold without customisation. Modifying the shell of a safety helmet with heat-applied transfers or embroidery can compromise the structural integrity of the ABS material. Furthermore, adhesives found in some decals can cause the plastic to become brittle over time. To ensure your safety is never compromised, we supply this helmet in its original, tested form.

Use Cases

This helmet is a versatile choice for a wide range of trades. It is particularly well-suited for construction workers, electricians, and plumbers who require reliable head protection. Its robust design also makes it an excellent choice for tree surgeons and mechanics who often operate in confined spaces where head and eye protection are equally vital.

Practical Advice

For the best protection, ensure the chin strap is always fastened and adjusted to a snug fit. We recommend inspecting the shell and visor daily for any signs of cracks or deep scratches; if the helmet sustains a significant impact, it should be replaced immediately, even if damage is not visible to the naked eye.

Caring for your product

To maintain the performance and longevity of your helmet, it is essential to keep it clean and free from contaminants. We recommend cleaning the ABS shell and polycarbonate visor using only mild soap and warm water. Avoid the use of abrasive cleaners or chemical solvents, as these can degrade the plastic and reduce the helmet's impact resistance.

When not in use, store the helmet in a cool, dry place away from direct sunlight. Prolonged exposure to UV rays can weaken the shell material over time. Ensure the visor is retracted during storage to prevent accidental damage to the optical surface.
