Non-Vented Hard Hats

In some particularly dirty, cold, or wet environments, a non-vented hard hat is often preferred over the vented alternative. This is because the enclosed shell of the helmet helps retain heat and does not have any openings that fine dust, dirt, and water spray can get through. Non-vented helmets are often specified for use in areas where live cables are present, as they prevent bare conductors from contacting the wearer's head.

Non-Vented Hard Hats - PPE

If you are working in a cold environment, the last thing you want is a draft on top of your head. Unlike our vented helmets, these non-vented helmets cannot convect heat away from the user's head. Our unvented hard hats help you retain heat where you need it most.

Removing ventilation slots also means that these hard hats are more commonly seen with an EN50365 standard marking. The EN50365 implies that the helmet has been tested for working with live electrical installations. More unvented helmets are available with this standard marking than without as they do not have gaps through which electrical cables can easily pass.

Our unvented helmets are available in a wide range of colours and with a range of features. This range of options makes them suitable for a variety of roles. Many are compatible with accessories such as helmet-mounted ear defenders, specific beanies, and even face shields.

Who Uses Unvented Helmets?

Non-Vented Hard Hats In Refridgerated Warehouse

Warehousing Staff

In refrigerated warehouses, a non-vented helmet makes excellent sense. It helps keep your head warm; we also recommend looking at beanies that we guarantee are compatible with your helmet. If there is a compatible beanie, we will list it on the helmet page.

Electrical Contractor Wearing Protective Equipment

Electrical Contractors

Unvented helmets that meet EN50365 are ideal for electrical contractors that work in areas with hanging live cables that could otherwise penetrate the vents on a ventilated helmet.

Mining Operators

In mining environments having an unvented helmet can prevent grit and small debris from getting into the helmet, causing discomfort and premature wear. If you want to browse our full range of mining helmets, you can find them here.

Features of Non-Vented Helmets

Below, we have detailed some of the standard features that all non-ventilated helmets share. Each model sold will have more specific features listed on its product page. You can also see a broad range of features in our hard hats category.

Peaks Design

You can choose from a full brim which surrounds the entire helmet, a micro peak which allows you to look up with greater ease, or a standard peak which is the most common and popular option.

Internal Harness

An internal harness system ensures a gap between your head and the helmet's shell is always maintained. These harnesses can differ in design depending on the model of helmet you purchase.

Adjuster Design

All non-vented helmets feature an adjuster at the back that helps secure the helmet to your head. These adjusters can be in the form of a slip ratchet or wheel ratchet. The wheel ratchet is a premium design that offers greater granularity in its adjustment.

Range of Colours

We are pleased to provide a range of helmet colours, ensuring that you can find the right colour for your job role.

Sweatband

A sweatband in the front of our helmets ensures that sweat does not interfere with comfort.

Ear Defenders

Almost all of our helmets are compatible with helmet-mounted ear defenders. We have a compatibility guide on each page.
