Partnership

Developed with Norsk Luftambulanse

Crews flying winch operations in Norwegian weather wore prototypes on live missions across four seasons. Each round of feedback went back into the shell geometry, the mount positions and the retention system.

Certification

Five standards, one shell

EN 12492 for mountaineering, EN 397 for industrial, EN 1385 for water rescue, EN 16471 for wildland fire, EN 166 for the visor. One helmet covers work that normally requires three.

Fit It Out

Comms, visor and lighting

Stainless inserts are moulded into the shell, so accessories bolt on rather than strap on. Adapters cover common communication systems, lighting and night vision mounts.

Handover

Set up before the first shift

Fit sessions, sizing runs and a documented handover, so helmets arrive configured for the crew rather than boxed and unassigned.

Service

After an impact

The liner crushes and does not recover, so any helmet that has taken a significant impact is retired. Padding, straps and hardware are replaceable against the article number.

Certified across five standards

The same shell holds mountaineering, industrial, water and fire rescue approvals, so one helmet covers work that normally needs three.
