A simple machine to keep you safe

Like a simple machine changes the direction or magnitude of a force, Kinetix® suspension system technology flexes into action when an impact occurs, reducing the impact by diverting the force away from the head and neck.

How Kinetix® dissipates force vs. the competition

With Kinetix®, an impact event to the head triggers a dynamic chain of events that allow this new suspension system to absorb and redirect the impact’s force outward, away from the neck and spinal cord, stretching the moment of impact out over time. Competitive systems are unable to manipulate an impact's force, causing a linear transfer down through the stationary straps.

Competitive suspension system

Up to 40% more effective than market leaders

Because Kinetix® technology changes the behavior of head protection, impact forces to your head and neck are reduced by up to 40% more than the market’s leading competitors per the ANSI/ISEA Z89.1-2014 (R2019) force transmission standard.

Kinetix® suspension system

A dynamic response suspension machine that reacts to impact events by slowing and diverting energy.

Fixed chin strap keeps the entire system locked in, firm, and secure, perfect for working at-height.

Strategically added impact foam in the back of the helmet provides extra protection against slip and fall injuries.

Delivers enhanced vertical and peripheral vision, critical for jobs that require overhead work.
