PIP 280-HP1491RVM-09 Traverse Vented, Industrial Type II Climbing Helmet Gray

The PIP 280-HP1491RVM-09 Traverse is an ANSI Z89.1-2014 Type II, Class C industrial climbing helmet designed for work at heights and in confined spaces. It uses a lightweight polycarbonate/ABS shell paired with an integrated EPS foam liner to absorb and distribute impact forces from frontal, lateral, and rear hazards. A 4-point HDPE inner suspension provides adjustable fit, while a rugged SURE-LOCK wheel ratchet helps ensure the suspension performs consistently across head sizes. The helmet incorporates MIPS technology, a low-friction layer that allows the head to rotate slightly within the shell during angled impacts, which can reduce the rotational forces transmitted to the brain in certain impacts.

Comfort and sizing features include a cross-over chin strap with a quick-release buckle for a secure, customizable fit and added padding above the brow line for comfort during extended wear. The Traverse design is compatible with the full line of Traverse accessories, allowing users to tailor the setup to specific tasks and environments. This helmet is suitable for use in industrial climbing, rescue, and other high-risk work scenarios where protection from top and lateral impacts is important, and where rotational impact mitigation may be beneficial.

When choosing components and fit, operators should verify that the helmet is properly sized for their head and that the suspension and ratchet are adjusted to maintain a secure, comfortable fit. Regular inspection of the shell, liner, suspension, and fasteners is recommended to ensure continued protective performance. The product’s documented compliance with ANSI Z89.1-2014 Type II, Class C supports use in environments requiring protection against impact hazards from above and from the sides, while the EN12492 clause 4.2 alignment indicates additional cross-checks with European standards where applicable.
