Gecko Marine Safety Helmets
Ten years of continuous research in conjunction with rescue and emergency organisations has resulted in a versatile helmet that can be adapted to meet the needs of a wide spectrum of sporting and industrial users around the world.
The Gecko Marine Safety Helmet is designed for use in a marine environment to provide head protection and reduced exposure to the elements. The helmet provides fixing points for a wide range of add-ons, including visors, goggles and torches.
Key Features
The helmet consists of three main parts - the outer shell, internal liner, and retention system. Each part is designed specifically to provide maximum protection and comfort.
Outer Shell
The outer shell is a two-part fibreglass construction, fluted in order to increase strength, rigidity and shaped to provide maximum protection whilst still allowing full peripheral vision. The shell encompasses larger head sizes and provides a maximum level of protective coverage. The helmet allows interaction with existing rescue equipment such as a lifejacket, dry suit, survival suit etc. The shell offers good energy absorption and resistance to penetration.
Inflatable Internal Liner
The helmet contains an inflatable liner system ensuring a true custom fit. An adjustable control valve, allows the wearer to adjust the feel of the helmet very precisely for maximum comfort and secure fit.
Retention System
The helmet is secured by a nylon webbing strap system, which is locked together and adjusted by means of a Fastex click-system buckle. The straps are anchored using corrosion resistant 2-part rivets/studs fixed to the outer shell. The strap has a riveted loop at one end, large enough to facilitate adjustment with a gloved hand. The whole assembly is sheathed in a neoprene tube to provide comfort and to prevent rubbing or slippage.
