JSP EVO Alta Dualswitch Wheel Ratchet Safety Helmet Vented
The all-new EVO Alta DualSwitch from JSP is a safety helmet that can conform to both EN 12492 (the mountaineering standard) and EN 397. It does this whilst adding a host of new features and styling elements not seen before on the JSP helmet range. To comply with both previously mentioned safety standards, a DualSwitch chin strap has been added to this helmet, allowing you to toggle the breaking force of the chin strap to meet the requirements of 500N (EN 12492) or 150-240N (EN397).
As per the rest of the Alta range of helmets, this helmet is bursting with new features, most notable is its shape, which has done away with the traditional micro peak design seen on the EvoLite range. In addition to this an interchangeable front panel has been included, allowing you to quickly change out branding, or even install an ID badge version should you require it. A new satin finish makes the ABS shell look very modern, especially as it compliments the new black vents, clips and integrated torch retainers.
Although there are a lot of new features on this helmet, some old favourites have been included that have been tried and tested on the rest of the Evo range. The ever-popular and dependable accessory slots that sit on either side of the helmet allow Sonis ear defenders to be clipped on, as well as safety visors from the JSP range. A nice added touch to these accessory slots, which is new to the Alta range, is a blanking plate that covers over the slot when not in use; this is a welcomed addition as it blocks out dust and water.
