Using technology employed in the production of Formula 1 cars, the manufacturers of Rockman Dielectric Helmets came up with an outer shell with a shape that absorbs impact energy instead of transferring it to the harness.
The outer shell is constructed from the lightweight thermoplastic acrylonitrile butadiene styrene (ABS) providing it with hardness, toughness, and gloss. ABS is resistant to certain types of acids and oil but may be degraded with exposure to ultraviolet rays. However, the helmet is provided with UV stabilizations thus reducing the risk of degradation. The thermoplastic also has electrical insulation properties enabling the Rockman Dielectric to protect the wearer from high voltage electric conductors even up to a staggering 20,000 volts.
The shell is designed with a wide profile along with a rain trough that directs rain to the back of the helmet. For improved frontal vision, the peak is shortened. There are 30 mm accessory slots that can accept attachments as visors and ear protectors. The ventilation holes are closed to further reduce the risk of exposure to electrical hazards.
The helmet’s DeFormaTec™ suspension system consists of a six-point woven nylon webbing. The helmet is kept from shifting by the low nape strap along with the chin straps. Should you wish to replace the chin straps, several mounts are available to accommodate different types. A sweat band made of anti-allergic fleece keeps sweat from flowing down your face. The size of the headband is adjusted with a ratchet knob at the back of the head. Height is also adjustable.
The Rockman Dielectric Helmet weighs less than a pound and it is available in bright yellow, white, and red for extra visibility.
