PIP 280-HP1491RVM-01 Traverse Vented, Industrial Type II Climbing Helmet White

The PIP Traverse Vented climbing helmet is an ANSI Z89.1 Type II, Class C industrial helmet designed for protection when working at heights or in confined spaces. This model features a lightweight shell crafted from Polycarbonate/ABS, paired with an integrated EPS foam liner to help absorb impact in frontal, lateral, and rear hazards. The helmet incorporates MIPS technology, a low-friction layer that allows the head to move slightly inside the shell (approximately 10–15 mm in many directions) to reduce the rotational forces that can occur during angled impacts, contributing to better control of head motion after a hit.

Construction details include a 4-point HDPE inner suspension with comfortable padding above the brow and a rugged SURE-LOCK wheel ratchet for easy, precise adjustment. The 4-point chin strap with quick-release buckle provides a secure fit that can be quickly released if needed. The Traverse family compatibility means this helmet is designed to work with a full line of Traverse accessories, enabling configuration for different tasks and environments while maintaining consistent fit and performance.

Practical use considerations include protection in overhead and side-impact scenarios typical of industrial climbing, height work, and confined-space operations. The combination of a lightweight shell, impact-absorbing liner, and MIPS technology supports a balanced approach to head protection without introducing excessive weight. For maintenance and compatibility, users should rely on the established Traverse accessory ecosystem and ensure proper sizing via the adjustable wheel ratchet to maintain suspension performance across all head sizes. Given its stated standards, this helmet is intended for environments requiring ANSI and EN12492 compatibility as described by the product notes.
