For workers who dread wearing uncomfortable, hot safety helmets on the job site, extra comfort features can make the difference. Gateway Safety’s serpent ventilated safety helmet offers all-day comfort, light weight and excellent ventilation combined with optimal head injury protection, according to the manufacturer.
Serpent is ultra light at just 13.1 oz., with a six-point nylon suspension system. A rotating ratchet adjustment easily fits over the nape of the neck for a comfortable, secure fit. And because heat buildup under the helmet can cause fatigue and heat stress, ventilated Serpent is an ideal choice. Its CoolSense airflow system, along with six vents along the peak of the helmet, promotes heat release and keeps workers cool. Additional features include a cushioned brow pad that absorbs moisture and perspiration and a rain trough to divert water from workers’ faces.
The serpent shell is made of a high-density polyethylene material that provides impact protection without adding weight. Gateway Safety’s serpent complies with the ANSI Z89.1 standard for type I, class C helmets.
