FAQs
What kind of protection does the Portwest PS59 AirTech Bump Cap offer?
It offers protection against minor bumps, scrapes, and bruises from stationary objects. It is not designed for protection against falling objects, electrical hazards, or heavy impacts.
How do I clean the bump cap?
Clean the fabric exterior with a damp cloth and mild soap. Allow it to air dry completely. Do not machine wash or use harsh chemicals.
Is the size adjustable?
Yes, the bump cap features a buckle size adjustment at the rear for a secure and personalized fit.
What materials is the bump cap made from?
The primary materials are Nylon (100%) for the outer fabric, ABS for the inner shell, and EVA for the soft pad.
Can this bump cap be worn in hot weather?
Yes, it is designed with maximized ventilation thanks to side mesh and inner shell openings, making it suitable for warm conditions.
Does it meet any safety standards?
Yes, the bump cap is CE certified.
What is the purpose of the reflective piping?
The reflective piping is for increased visibility, enhancing safety in daylight and potentially low-light conditions by making the wearer more noticeable.
Troubleshooting
Bump cap feels too tight or too loose.
Adjust the rear buckle to achieve a secure and comfortable fit. Ensure the strap is properly threaded through the buckle.
Ventilation seems limited.
Ensure the mesh panels are not obstructed by clothing or hair. Check that the inner shell openings are clear of debris.
Reflective piping appears dirty or less visible.
Gently clean the piping with a damp cloth. Avoid vigorous scrubbing, which could damage the reflective material.
Bump cap is uncomfortable after extended wear.
Ensure the size adjustment is correct – not too tight. The internal padding should rest comfortably against the head. Take breaks if necessary.
