How to narrow down your choice

  1. Identify the type of hazard: Bumping into a fixed object is a different impact from being struck by a falling object. This determines whether you need a bump cap or a suitable safety helmet.
  2. Compare size range and fit: Head circumference, internal harness and adjustment should work together. Consider your posture when bending down and the space needed for other equipment.
  3. Choose accessories as a system: The specified attachments and combinations are essential for hearing protection, visors and chin straps.
  4. Plan use and storage: Read the service life and replacement instructions. Colour and shell appearance tell you nothing about electrical properties or special temperature ranges.

Frequently asked questions before buying

Is a bump cap sufficient for every task involving an impact risk?

No. It is not a substitute for a safety helmet where falling objects pose a risk. The type of hazard takes priority over comfort and appearance.

Can I simply continue using my existing hearing protection on a new helmet?

Only if the combination is specified for use together. Have the exact designations of the helmet, adapter and hearing protection ready when comparing. Similar mounts are not sufficient evidence of compatibility.

Can an undamaged shell tell me how much service life remains?

Visual inspection alone cannot answer this. Follow the manufacturer's information on service life, storage and events that require replacement.
