Protector HF46 Bushire Helmet

Protector HF46

The Australian made Protector HF46 series polycarbonate Type 3 wide brim bushfire/wildland fire fighting helmet complete with 6 point ratchet terylene head harness, wide brim binding, reflective tape, with or without eyeshield, neckflap, hanging hook and chinstrap.

The 50mm trimmed wide brim shell reduces exposure to the sun, assists in deflecting falling objects and directs liquids away from any exposed neck areas.The helmet consists of a shell and a suspension system called a harness. The shell provides the impact protection by deflecting, whilst the harness absorbs the shock and load. The transmission of force is dissipated directing it down through the body to the ground. 

The 6 point harness with 25mm terylene webbing maximises surface contact with the head and spreads any load evenly over the contact area. The HF46 can be fitted with lift up eyeshield certified to medium impact outlined in Standard AS/NZS 1337.1:2010. Integrated visor attachment kit allows the eyeshield to be retro fitted if needed. Complementing the product is a flame resistant neck flap and required reflective tape.

The area between the shell and harness is the shock absorption zone and should not be treated as a storage location when worn.
