Helmet certified to EN397 and EN12492 has integrated eye protection
11 February 2020
The EVO VISTA Dualswitch helmet is designed for those needing head protection both for working at ground level and working at height. It includes eye protection in the form of a lens or shield that is integrated and fully compatible.
Combining the new retractable eyewear helmet technology with the Dualswitch chinstrap harness system, wearers can switch between working at ground level standard EN397 and working at height safety standard EN12492 by flicking a switch.
At the same time, the EVO®VISTA Dualswitch helmet provides individuals with compatible integrated Optical class 1 eye protection which is fully retractable when not in use and cannot be lost by the user or damaged on site after issue. Wearers can wear their own spectacles under the lens or shield, saving additional costs to companies for prescription safety eyewear.
The EVO®VISTA Dualswitch helmet offers the choice of either a VISTAlens or VISTAshield, depending on the levels of protection and performance required. The EVO®VISTAlens Dualswitch Optical class 1 overspec has an unobstructed wide view lens conforming to EN166.1.FT.KN, providing F rated impact protection – tested with 6mm steel ball bearing at speeds of up to 100mph (160kph) – even at extreme temperatures with anti-scratch and anti-mist coatings.
The EVO®VISTAshield Dualswitch Optical class 1 eyeshield offers a clear panoramic view conforming to EN166.1.AT.KN, providing A rated impact protection – tested with 6mm steel ball bearing at speeds of up to 425mph (685kph) – even at extremes of temperature with anti-scratch and anti-mist coatings.
The EVO® VISTA Dualswitch range has been designed to be fully compatible with JSP respirators, such as the Force8 PressToCheck and the Sonis® helmet-mounted ear defender range.
