The 10 PROTOS® Safety Features

Protos® helmets are engineered with ten advanced safety features that make them unrivalled in high-risk environments. Whether you’re working in forestry, construction, utilities rescue, or other demanding sectors, these helmets deliver industry-leading protection, comfort, and innovation.

 

1. All-Round Protection – Dual Certification (EN 397 & EN 12492)

Protos® is the first helmet to achieve certification under both EN 397 and EN 12492. This dual compliance ensures exceptional protection against both vertical and horizontal impact complete head coverage in all directions.

 

 

 

2. High Visibility with Two-Tone Design

The distinctive two-colour design increases the visible surface area by 35%, significantly enhancing wearer visibility – especially valuable in low-light or high-risk environments.

 

 

 

3. Neck Cradle for Enhanced Rear Protection

The integrated neck cradle stabilises the helmet and protects the base of the skull, reducing the risk of basal skull fractures in the event of a backward fall or impact.

 

 

 

4. Three-Point Shock Absorption

A unique three-point inner shell suspension system absorbs and distributes impact forces, reducing the energy transferred directly to the head. This results in better shock resistance and greater safety.

 

 

 

5. Integrated Face Guard Options

Choose between a clear visor or two types of metal mesh visors. All offer exceptional all-round visibility while shielding the face from branches, thorns, and flying debris.

 

 

 

6. Protos® Safety Glasses

Our seamlessly integrated safety glasses meet the latest EU standards and provide a pressure-free fit with an ergonomic nose bridge – delivering clarity, comfort, and protection without compromise.

 

 

 

 

7. Safety Ventilation Slider

This comfort-enhancing feature doubles as a secondary protective shell. The ventilation slider absorbs initial impacts before they reach the helmet’s outer shell – improving both airflow and safety.

 

 

8. Integrated Hearing Protection 

Adjustable ear defenders provide effective noise reduction while ensuring a comfortable fit. Designed for all-day wear, they can be fine-tuned for pressure and position over the ears.

 

 

 

9. Dual-Function Hearing Protection

Beyond noise reduction, the hearing protection system remains in position (in both active and passive modes), offering additional side-impact protection during use.

 

 

 

10. Protos® Crash Absorber

Our high-tech honeycomb crash absorber offers up to five times greater impact absorption. This ultra-light insert also visually indicates if a significant impact has occurred – signalling when the helmet should be replaced.
