FAQs

What type of protection does the Portwest PS79 AirTech Light Bump Cap offer?

It offers protection against minor bumps and scrapes from stationary objects. It is not designed to protect against falling objects or heavy impacts like a traditional safety helmet.

Is this bump cap suitable for industrial construction sites?

No, this bump cap is not a substitute for a certified industrial safety helmet, which is required on most construction sites for protection against falling debris and higher impact forces.

How do I clean the bump cap?

Clean the bump cap with a damp cloth and mild soap. Avoid harsh chemicals. Allow it to air dry.

What materials is the bump cap made from?

It is made from HDPE (High-Density Polyethylene), Expanded Polypropylene (EPP) foam, and Polyester.

How is the size adjusted?

The size is adjusted using a simple buckle strap located at the back of the cap for a customized fit.

Are there different color options available?

Yes, the Portwest PS79 AirTech Light Bump Cap is available in multiple popular colorways, including Navy, Orange, and Yellow, with options for high visibility.

What is the purpose of the EPP foam liner?

The EPP foam liner is crucial for providing optimal impact protection by absorbing and dissipating energy from minor blows.

Troubleshooting

Bump cap feels too loose or too tight

Adjust the buckle size adjustment strap at the rear of the cap until a snug and comfortable fit is achieved.

Reduced breathability

Ensure ventilation holes are clear of debris. Clean the cap with a damp cloth if it appears clogged with dirt or sweat.

Visible wear on reflective piping

While normal wear is expected, gentle cleaning and avoiding excessive abrasion can help prolong the life of the reflective elements.
