How often should I clean my safety helmet?

It is recommended to clean your helmet regularly, especially after use in dirty or dusty conditions, using mild soap and water. Inspect it for damage before each use.

Can I paint or apply stickers to the helmet?

Painting or applying stickers with solvents may compromise the integrity of the HDPE shell. It is best to use only manufacturer-approved cleaning methods and accessories. If customization is necessary, consult the manufacturer's guidelines.

What does CE-CAT III mean?

CE-CAT III refers to a category of Personal Protective Equipment (PPE) that protects against hazards that are fatal or capable of causing permanent severe damage. It signifies a high level of safety compliance.

Troubleshooting

Helmet does not fit securely.

Ensure the slip ratchet is properly engaged and tightened. Check if the harness is correctly positioned on your head. If the helmet is consistently too large or small, a different size may be required (if available).

Discomfort from sweat.

Ensure the integrated sweatband is clean and properly fitted. For prolonged use in hot conditions, consider taking breaks or using additional cooling accessories if compatible.

Rainwater obstructs vision.

Verify that the rain gutter is unobstructed and correctly positioned to channel water away from the face.

Accessory attachment is difficult.

Confirm that the accessory is designed for 30mm universal slots and is properly aligned before attempting to attach it. Refer to both the helmet and accessory manuals for guidance.

Visible damage to the helmet shell.

Immediately cease using the helmet. Damaged helmets should be replaced as their protective capabilities may be compromised. Do not attempt to repair cracks or deep scratches.

  • Inspection: Before each use, inspect the helmet for any signs of damage, such as cracks, dents, or degradation of the plastic. Check the harness and adjustment mechanism for proper function.
  • Storage: Store the helmet in a clean, dry place away from direct sunlight, extreme temperatures, and corrosive substances. Avoid storing it under heavy objects that could deform the shell.
