STUDSON has introduced a new concept version of its SHK-1, the STUDSON by HighBar Type II Safety helmet, featuring the buckle-free HighBar mono-chinstrap safety system.
Initially developed for action sports athletes, the HighBar strap creates a more proper and safer fit of the SHK-1 Type II safety helmet and full-brim version for workers within construction, oil & gas, manufacturing, utilities, and industrial maintenance industries.
Compared to the traditional four-point, y-shaped nylon harness, the HighBar polymer strap arms offer a better fit system that can be easily rotated up for storage and then quickly rotated down below the chin when in use. The HighBar system can also be easily adjusted with a twist dial on the bottom to tighten or loosen the mono-strap with one hand, even when wearing heavy gloves.
The HighBar mono-chinstrap system is the latest industrial safety helmet technology to be embedded into STUDSON’s SHK-1 safety helmet designs. The safety helmets also incorporate Koroyd welded polymer tubes, which more efficiently absorb shock upon impacts. This material also enhances heat dissipation compared to traditional EPS foam and improves ventilation due to its cellular open structure design.
On the shell, the helmets feature embedded Twiceme technology, offering individual workers the optional capability to upload their critical health data for ease of access for first responders. Inside, the helmets include the machine washable ionic+ padding system featuring materials that disrupt cell division and replication processes of bacteria, leaving the fabric cleaner with fewer microbes.
The STUDSON by HighBar helmet is expected to be available in 2025.
To see the new SHK-1 safety helmet with the HighBar strap in person, visit the STUDSON booth #901 at the American Society of Safety Professional (ASSP) Safety Conference + Expo, Aug. 7-9, at the Colorado Convention Center in Denver.
