Portwest Endurance Visor Helmet

Product Overview

The Endurance Visor Helmet is a sophisticated piece of personal protective equipment designed to provide comprehensive head and eye protection without the need for multiple separate items. This vented helmet features a high-quality ABS shell that offers robust protection against impacts, while the integrated retractable clear visor ensures your eyes are shielded from debris at a moment's notice. It is a practical, all-in-one solution for those working in demanding environments where safety and efficiency are paramount.

Key Features

• Vented ABS Shell: The shell is designed with ventilation points to allow for improved airflow, which is particularly beneficial during strenuous tasks or in warmer conditions to help keep the wearer cool.
• 6-Point Textile Comfort Harness: This harness distributes the weight of the helmet evenly across the head, reducing pressure points and significantly increasing comfort during long shifts.
• Wheel Ratchet Adjustment: The intuitive wheel ratchet allows for quick and easy size adjustment between 56cm and 63cm, ensuring a secure and stable fit for various head shapes.
• Integrated Retractable Visor: The PW56 clear visor is included and built directly into the helmet, meaning eye protection is always available and cannot be misplaced.
• Sweatband and Chin Strap: Included as standard, the sweatband manages moisture while the chin strap ensures the helmet remains firmly in place even during active movement.

Design & Performance

Constructed from high-grade ABS for the shell and polycarbonate for the visor, this helmet is designed for durability. The ABS material provides a sturdy barrier against falling objects, while remaining lightweight enough to prevent neck fatigue. The textile harness is a significant upgrade over plastic alternatives, offering a softer feel and better flexibility as you move. The ventilation system is strategically placed to balance protection with breathability, making it a performance-focused choice for professionals who require reliable headgear throughout the working day.

Why No Customisation?

We do not offer customisation, such as printing or embroidery, on this safety helmet to ensure the structural integrity of the product is never compromised. Applying heat, adhesives, or mechanical pressure to the ABS shell can interfere with its protective capabilities and may void its safety certifications. At MyWorkwear, we prioritise your safety above all else, ensuring that your PPE performs exactly as intended in the event of an accident.

Use Cases

This helmet is highly versatile and suitable for a wide range of trades. It is an ideal choice for those in construction, plumbing, and electrical work where overhead hazards and flying particles are common. It is also well-suited for tree surgeons and mechanics who require integrated eye protection that doesn't fog up or get lost in a toolbox.

Practical Advice

To achieve the safest fit, we recommend adjusting the wheel ratchet while the helmet is on your head until it feels snug but not restrictive. The chin strap should be adjusted so that it sits comfortably under the chin without pinching, preventing the helmet from tilting or falling off if you trip or lean over. If you frequently work in very dusty environments, spare visors and parts are available to keep your vision clear and your helmet in top condition.

Caring for your product

Maintaining your safety helmet is essential for ensuring its continued performance and your safety. We recommend cleaning the ABS shell and the polycarbonate visor with a soft cloth and mild, soapy water. Avoid using abrasive cleaners or industrial solvents, as these can chemically weaken the plastic and reduce the helmet's impact resistance.

The textile harness and sweatband should be inspected regularly for signs of wear or fraying. If any part of the helmet, especially the shell, shows signs of cracking, deep scratching, or has been subjected to a significant impact, the entire unit should be replaced immediately. Even if damage is not visible to the naked eye, the internal structure may be compromised.

Store your helmet in a cool, dry place away from direct sunlight when not in use. Prolonged exposure to ultraviolet light can degrade the materials over time, potentially making the shell brittle and less effective at absorbing energy during an impact.
