Lightweight Hard Hats

Lightweight hard hats are more comfortable to work in, since they reduce the load on your neck as you move your head around during your working day. You are most likely to feel the benefits of a lighter-weight helmet when looking up or down, making a lightweight unit the ideal candidate for those working at height. Many lightweight helmets use supplementary systems such as liners to boost performance whilst keeping weight at an absolute minimum.

Lightweight Hard Hats - Helmets That Won't Weigh You Down

Although none of our hard hat range could be considered 'heavy', there are some of our high-quality helmets that have been built from the ground up to be lightweight whilst still offering superb protection from impact.

When wearing a helmet all day long, lowering the helmet's weight can improve comfort. Our best lightweight hard hat in terms of being the lightest with the best protection is the EvoLite range from JSP. This ultra-lightweight hard hat punches well above its weight of only 285g (accessory & model variant dependant).

All our lightweight safety helmets achieve their low weight without resorting to expensive and exotic construction methods such as carbon fibre and fibreglass, which both have downsides. Our range offers a lightweight, comfortable hard hat that is a pleasure to wear.

Who Wears Lightweight Hard Hats?

Linesmen

Whilst working at height and climbing all day, any extra weight quickly adds up and can make for tiresome work. Our lightweight helmets with chin straps are ideal for those that work at a height out in the open.

Wind Farms

When ascending a wind turbine, the reduction in weight offered by our lightweight helmets is a game changer. For these applications, the SkyWorker from JSP is a strong contender with its additional EPS liner for improved side impact protection.

Scaffolders

Scaffolders are at an elevated risk of being hit by falling items and falling themselves. With colleagues handling so many heavy components above each other, it is essential that a helmet can withstand heavy impacts from above without being too heavy. Once again, the SkyWorker from JSP is a strong contender for this role.

Features To Consider When Buying A Lightweight Helmet

Many of the features of our lightweight helmets are the same as those commonly seen on our standard hard hats. We have listed some of the stand-out considerations below;

EN12492 Working At Height Top And Side Impact Requirements

Side Impact Protection

You should consider the helmet's side impact resistance if you work at height. This side protection can come into play if you take a fall, are hit by a swinging object, or hit the side of your head during a fall.

Chin Strap

Another essential consideration if you are working at height or around deep open excavations is a chin strap, which will keep your helmet firmly on your head in the event of a fall.

Ventilation

Most of our lightweight hard hats are available in vented or non-vented formats. If you want to see a full range of vented helmets, check out the vented hard hats category page.

Accessories

Most lightweight helmets are compatible with our extensive accessory range; you should note that some accessories can weigh down even the lightest helmet.

Evo Revolution 6-point Fabric Hard Hat Harness

A Quality Harness

A good harness within the hard hat provides better support and is easy to adjust, making wearing a hard hat more comfortable. A good six-point suspension system ensures a degree of shock absorption and comfort.

White Hard Hats With Different Coloured Reflective Stickers

Reflectivity

You can fit reflective panels to most of our lightweight helmets. If you want to browse the range of helmets that come with them pre-installed, you can find these in our reflective helmets category.

Electrical Resistance

If you are working around live electrical cables, you may want to consider a helmet that complies with EN50365. These are almost all manufactured without vents.

Other PPE In Our Extensive Range

All Head Protection

If you are looking for any head protection, including bump caps and hard hats, you will find it all in our head protection category.

Work Gloves

Every work environment has its requirements for PPE; this is especially true with gloves. We carry a wide range of gloves that meet the high demands of a modern work site.

Foot Protection

Protect your feet from the elements and dropped items with our range of high-quality safety footwear.

Eye Protection

Stand-alone safety spectacles and integrated glasses are all available in our eye protection category.

RPE

Check out our respiratory protection category to ensure you are not breathing in dangerous debris and vapours.

Fall Protection

If you are wearing a lightweight helmet, there is a good chance you are working at height and need some fall protection to go with it.

Face Shields

Keep your face safe from flying debris when cutting and grinding. Our face protection range contains everything from mesh face visors to clear plastic face shields.

Ear Defenders

More than just ear muffs to keep your ears warm, our range of hearing protection ensures any constant noise does not damage your hearing.
