Product Information

Full details

The Portwest PW55 Endurance Visor Hard Hat is designed for professionals requiring robust head protection combined with integrated eye safety. Its key benefit lies in the dual functionality of a durable hard hat and a retractable anti-fog/anti-scratch visor, reducing the need for separate safety glasses. A potential caveat is that the visor is sold separately and may require specific attention for cleaning to maintain clarity.

Extended Product Information

FAQs

Is the visor included with the hard hat?

No, the retractable clear visor (model PW56) is sold separately. You will need to purchase it in addition to the PW55 hard hat.

What standards does the Portwest PW55 hard hat meet?

The hard hat meets EN 397 standards for industrial use, including lateral deformation (LD) protection and protection in extreme temperatures (-30°C to +50°C). The visor meets EN 166 (1 FT) standards for low energy impact protection.

How do I clean the anti-fog and anti-scratch visor?

Clean the visor gently with a soft, damp cloth and mild soap if necessary. Avoid abrasive materials, solvents, or paper towels, which can damage the special coatings.

What is the range of head sizes this helmet fits?

The helmet is adjustable via a wheel ratchet system and fits head circumferences from 56 cm to 63 cm.

Can I attach ear defenders to this helmet?

Yes, the helmet is compatible with specific clip-on ear muff models: PW47 and PS47.

What are the benefits of the vented shell?

The vented shell allows for increased airflow, providing better comfort and helping to keep the wearer cool during prolonged use in warm environments.

Are replacement parts available for the helmet?

Yes, spare parts such as replacement headbands and sweatbands are available separately to extend the life of the helmet.

Troubleshooting

Helmet feels loose or unstable

Adjust the wheel ratchet headband to ensure a tighter fit. Check that the 6-point textile harness is correctly positioned inside the shell.

Visor is difficult to retract or deploy

Ensure the visor is correctly seated in its tracks. Check for any debris obstructing the mechanism and clean if necessary. Refer to the visor's specific instructions.

Visor fogs up excessively

Ensure the anti-fog coating is clean. Gently clean the visor with a soft, damp cloth. Avoid touching the surface with bare hands. Ensure the helmet is adequately vented.

Headband adjustment is stiff

Check the wheel ratchet mechanism for dirt or debris and clean gently with a brush or damp cloth. Avoid using lubricants unless specified by the manufacturer.

Chin strap is uncomfortable

Adjust the chin strap for a secure but not overly tight fit. Ensure the padding (if applicable) is positioned correctly against the skin.

Setup, Compatibility & Care

Setup:

  1. Adjusting the Fit: Use the wheel ratchet mechanism at the back of the helmet to adjust the headband size (56-63 cm) for a snug and comfortable fit. Ensure the textile harness sits correctly inside the shell.
  2. Attaching the Visor (PW56): Align the retractable visor (sold separately) with the designated slots on the front of the helmet and slide it into place until it clicks securely.
  3. Securing the Chin Strap: Fasten the adjustable chin strap for added security, especially when working at height or in windy conditions.

Compatibility:

  • Visor: Designed to integrate with the Portwest PW56 retractable clear visor.
  • Ear Muffs: Compatible with Portwest clip-on ear muffs models PW47 and PS47.
  • Other Accessories: Spare parts, including replacement headbands and sweatbands, are available separately.

Care and Maintenance:

  • Cleaning: Clean the helmet shell and visor with mild soap and water. Use a soft, damp cloth. Avoid using abrasive cleaners, solvents, or harsh chemicals, as these can damage the shell and coatings.
  • Visor Care: Gently wipe the anti-fog and anti-scratch coatings with a clean, soft, damp cloth. Do not rub vigorously. Avoid using paper towels, which can scratch the surface.
  • Storage: Store the helmet in a cool, dry place away from direct sunlight and extreme temperatures. Protect it from impact and pressure when not in use.
  • Inspection: Regularly inspect the helmet for any signs of damage, such as cracks, dents, or degradation of the harness. Replace any damaged components immediately.
