The PIP 280 series Evolution Type II linesman helmet is designed to provide robust head protection for workers in high-risk environments. This vented hard hat features a durable HDPE shell paired with a high-density EPS impact liner to help absorb and dissipate impact energy while maintaining a lightweight balance for extended wear. It is built to meet ANSI/ISEA Z89.1, Type II, Class C requirements, offering protection from both top impacts and lateral (side) forces, along with side penetration resistance. The helmet incorporates a mounted 4-point chin strap harness and a chin strap that is ANSI approved for retention on a Type II helmet, supporting secure fit even in demanding conditions. This design aims to protect the wearer from side impacts and penetrations that can occur with off-center blows, extending coverage beyond traditional crown-only protection and contributing to safer performance in elevated or cluttered workspaces. The combination of the EPS liner and HDPE shell is intended to balance protection with comfort, enabling longer wear times in environments where head protection is essential. Typical use scenarios include construction, utility, and maintenance tasks where there is a risk of overhead and side impacts, as well as potential incidental penetration. Availability and sizing details are not specified in the provided data, but the helmet’s Type II construction and integrated harness indicate suitability for head protection in contexts requiring reliable retention and compliance with the defined standards.
