Duon helmets

The fi rst helmet that fully conforms to European Standard requirements for both industrial and climbing situations

The DUON is the only helmet that has fully integrated adjustment, no extra parts or accessories required.

Total compliance for complex environments with changing hazards.

Situations with the risk of a fall require a strong chin strap - EN 12492.Industrial and confi ned areas require an easily releasable strap - EN 397.The DUON can change from one to the other at the twist of a button.

• Dual certifi cation• Variable buckle release force• Adjustable ventilation system• 10 year life span due to high level of UV resistance• Contoured for unhindered upward vision• Advanced cradle design for optimum comfort• Seven points of adjustment for the perfect fi t• Compatible with a full range of standard accessories• Improved durable headband height adjustment, no tools required• Full range of colours and bespoke marking options available• Replaceable sweat band and pads

European Standards for helmets: EN 397 & EN 12492

Key differences:

EN 397 - IndustrialWeak chinstrap - will release should the helmet / chinstrap get caught in machinery etc.Small vents - prevents contact with small items - sparks, paint.

EN 12492 - ClimbingStrong chinstrap - helmet fi rmly fi xed in the event of a fall.Large vents - increased airfl ow and cooling.

High strength tow hook

back-up

V - Lock cam - double loadbearing surface. To avoid sheath damage, the V Lock cam shares the load across two points to prevent excessive load at a single point.

The fi rst back-up device to combine the effectiveness of a unique patented high-load cam with a speed-sensing trigger mechanism.

ADAPTABLE

Versatile back-up device for rope access, fall arrest, positioning or hauling.

Fully functional with normal dynamic rope lanyards (cowstails).

No energy absorber needed.

SIMPLE

Tows freely with a cowstail, without user intervention.

Works in all situations – on slopes, horizontally and vertically.

Locks automatically if in a free fall or if user descends too quickly.

Self parks, even after extended use.

PRACTICAL

The speed sensing mechanism is fully sealed against aggressive conditions and will lock (fail to safe) if it becomes jammed or contaminated.

Load bearing cam can be easily cleaned and inspected.
