Portwest B013 Insulatex Lined Beanie combines a knitted acrylic outer with a soft insulated lining for cooler working days. The nine-gauge knit helps the hat retain its shape, while its stretch fit keeps the design straightforward to wear. Choose from the colours listed on this page to suit your existing workwear or equipment identification preferences. Use B013 as a warmth accessory for outdoor duties, maintenance or journeys between workplaces. Select clothing appropriate to the conditions and check that the hat does not interfere with eyewear or other equipment. If head protection is required, follow the helmet manufacturer’s rules for any layer worn underneath rather than assuming a beanie is compatible. Follow the care label and keep the lining clean and dry between uses.

Portwest B029 Rechargeable LED Beanie combines an acrylic knitted hat with a removable front lamp for hands-free light in low-light conditions. The LED module offers high, medium and flashing modes and charges through a USB port. Removing the lamp lets you charge it separately and care for the knitted hat without leaving the electronics in place. Choose this accessory for suitable maintenance, outdoor duties or journeys where a head-worn light is useful and a beanie is permitted. Check the light’s charge before setting out and select the mode for the task. The manufacturer lists 150 lumens and a two-to-four-hour runtime, which varies with use. Follow the charging instructions, remove the module before washing and check compatibility with any other required equipment.

Portwest CV04 Cooling Head Band is a lightweight accessory that uses water activation to support comfort in warm working conditions. The polyester Bird Eye Knit shell surrounds a super-absorbent filling, and this listing offers blue in one size. Wear it by itself where permitted, or check the fit and instructions before combining it with a hat or safety helmet. Follow the manufacturer’s soaking guidance and position the band so it remains comfortable and secure. Cooling performance varies with the surroundings and use, so include it within your workplace’s normal arrangements for drinking water, rest and shade. Inspect the fabric before use, keep the filling away from the eyes and follow the supplied care instructions for washing, drying and storage between tasks.

Portwest HA10 Insulated Fleece Beanie adds a soft fleece layer to a cold-weather workwear kit. The polyester outer has an anti-pill finish, while the Insulatex lining provides additional warmth inside the hat. Shaping darts help form the crown, and this listing offers black and navy so you can choose a colour alongside your existing work clothing. Wear HA10 for suitable outdoor duties, maintenance or cooler workplaces where a fleece hat is permitted. Portwest describes under-helmet wear with the brim unrolled; check your helmet manufacturer’s requirements and the fitted suspension before combining them. Use the hat as a warmth accessory and select the separate protection required for the task. Follow the care label, keep the lining clean and let the fabric dry before storage.

Portwest HA18 Helmet Liner Cap adds a close-fitting layer of warmth without the bulk of a thick knitted hat. Its polyester and elastane fabric stretches in four directions, helping it follow the shape of the head, while the moisture-wicking construction supports comfort during active work. The low-profile design is intended for use as a helmet liner. Before combining it with head protection, check the helmet manufacturer’s instructions and confirm that the suspension and retention still fit correctly. Choose HA18 for suitable cold-weather duties where this additional layer is permitted. It is a clothing accessory, so select the helmet and any specialist protection for the task separately. Follow the care label, inspect the seams and fabric before use, and store the cap clean and dry.

Portwest PA58 Helmet Winter Liner provides an additional insulating layer for suitable safety helmets during colder work. Four hook-and-loop straps hold the liner in position, while the elasticated back allows movement as the wearer adjusts their head. Portwest lists cotton and polyester materials, and this page offers black and navy colour options. Check the exact helmet’s instructions and fit before installing the liner. Portwest describes compatibility with most helmets and use with a chin strap, but the completed arrangement must still leave the suspension and retention correctly positioned. Select PA58 as a warmth accessory alongside the head protection required for the task. Inspect the straps and fabric regularly, follow the supplied care instructions and store the liner clean and dry between uses.

Portwest PB55 Endurance Badge Holder Helmet combines a vented ABS shell with an integrated holder for identification or site-access cards. The polycarbonate badge holder has a slide opening, keeping the card with the helmet instead of on a separate clip. A six-point textile suspension and wheel-ratchet adjustment support fitting, and a four-point chin strap is included. Choose from the orange, blue, red, white and yellow options listed on this page. Select the helmet against the head hazards and equipment requirements for the task, then follow the supplied adjustment instructions. Check the shell, suspension, chin strap and holder before use, and confirm approved combinations before adding a visor or ear defenders. Observe the manufacturer’s inspection and replacement guidance rather than judging serviceability by appearance alone.

Portwest PS52 Full Brim Future Helmet has a non-vented polypropylene shell with a brim extending around the head. The wider profile gives more coverage than a front peak alone, while a four-point suspension and wheel-ratchet adjustment allow the fit to be set within the manufacturer’s 52–63cm range. A soft foam sweatband is included. Select PS52 against the head hazards, required helmet markings and other equipment needed for the task. Check the supplied instructions before fitting accessories or adding a liner, and adjust the suspension so the shell sits correctly. Inspect the shell, harness and adjustment mechanism before use. Follow the manufacturer’s service-life, impact-replacement and storage guidance; a helmet’s visible condition alone is not enough to decide whether it remains suitable for work.

Portwest PS53 Height Endurance Helmet has a compact, peakless ABS shell for tasks where an unobstructed upward view is useful. The non-vented design includes a six-point textile suspension and wheel-ratchet adjustment within the manufacturer’s 52–63cm range. A four-point Y-style chin strap with a soft chin protector is supplied to help position the helmet securely. Choose from the colours listed on this page and select the helmet against the actual task requirements. A product name referring to height does not establish suitability for every climbing or rescue activity. Check the supplied markings, chin-strap requirements and approved accessories before use. Inspect the shell, harness and retention system regularly, and follow the manufacturer’s cleaning, storage, service-life and impact-replacement instructions.

Portwest PS54 Endurance Plus Helmet combines an unvented ABS shell with a six-point textile suspension and wheel-ratchet adjustment. A four-point chin strap is included. This model is an option for workplaces that require its specific helmet ratings and an adjustable retention system, subject to the task assessment and the markings supplied with the helmet. Check the chosen colour and fit before ordering, and confirm any accessory combination against Portwest’s instructions. The manufacturer currently lists PW47 clip-on ear defenders and the PS58 visor holder for this model. Inspect the shell, harness, strap and adjustment mechanism before use. Follow the supplied cleaning, storage and replacement guidance, including replacement after an impact where required, even when damage is not obvious.

Portwest PS55 Endurance Helmet has a vented ABS shell, a six-point textile suspension and wheel-ratchet adjustment. The ventilation openings allow air to circulate, while the supplied four-point chin strap provides an adjustable retention option. Choose from the colours offered on this page and check the fit against the wearer and the task requirements. This is a Class C helmet, so it should not be selected as electrical insulation. Portwest lists compatible visor and clip-on hearing accessories; check the instructions for the complete assembly before fitting them. Inspect the shell, harness, strap and ratchet regularly. Follow the supplied cleaning and storage guidance and replace the helmet after an impact when required, even if damage cannot be seen.

Portwest PS69 AirTech Micro Peak Bump Cap is designed for assessed tasks where bump protection is appropriate. Its 2.5cm peak keeps the front profile compact, while mesh side panels and openings in the inner shell support airflow. An adjustable buckle helps set the fit, and reflective piping adds a visible detail to the textile outer. The cap contains an ABS shell and a soft inner pad, with nylon and EVA also listed among its materials. Choose black or navy from the options on this page. An EN 812 bump cap is not a substitute for an industrial safety helmet where falling or thrown objects are a hazard. Check the workplace assessment, fit and supplied instructions before use.

Portwest PW50 Expertbase Safety Helmet uses an unvented polypropylene shell with a four-point plastic suspension harness. The slip-ratchet headband adjusts within the manufacturer’s 55–62cm range, and a soft foam sweatband is included. This straightforward helmet is available in the colours listed on this page for workplaces selecting head protection against their assessed requirements. Check the fit, supplied markings and instructions before use, particularly where electrical hazards are involved. The manufacturer lists EN 397 and EN 50365 Class 0; these ratings do not replace selection of the complete protective system needed for the job. Fit only approved accessories, inspect the shell and suspension regularly, and follow the manufacturer’s cleaning, storage, service-life and impact-replacement guidance.

Portwest PW54 Endurance Plus Visor Helmet combines an unvented ABS shell with a retractable clear PW56 visor. Its six-point textile suspension and wheel-ratchet headband provide adjustment within the manufacturer’s 56–63cm range. A sweatband and chin strap are supplied, and replacement visor parts are available for maintaining the assembly. Choose the colour shown in the product options and check both the helmet and visor markings against the job requirements. Integrated eye protection does not automatically provide the full-face or specialist protection a task may need. Use only approved accessory combinations, inspect the shell, suspension and visor before use, and follow the supplied fitting, cleaning, storage and replacement instructions. Select any additional protective equipment through the workplace assessment.

Portwest PW55 Endurance Visor Helmet brings a retractable clear PW56 visor together with a vented ABS shell. Its six-point textile suspension uses wheel-ratchet adjustment across the manufacturer’s 56–63cm range. A sweatband and chin strap are included, and the visor can be retracted when it is not needed. Select the colour in the product options and check the separate helmet and visor markings against the work being carried out. The vented PW55 should not be assumed to share the electrical ratings of unvented Endurance models. Confirm accessory compatibility and the protection needed for the complete task. Inspect the shell, harness, strap and visor before use, and follow the supplied cleaning, storage, service-life and replacement instructions.

Portwest PW79 Long Peak Bump Cap has a baseball-style profile with a 7cm peak, an internal ABS shell and EVA padding. A mesh panel at the back works with ventilation openings in the shell to allow airflow. The padded headband and rear hook-and-loop strap help set the fit for the wearer. Choose navy, orange or yellow from the options on this page. The brighter colour choices differ from navy, so check your visibility requirements when selecting a variant. PW79 is an EN 812 bump cap for assessed bump hazards; it is not a replacement for a safety helmet where falling or thrown objects are a risk. Inspect its components and follow the supplied care instructions.

Portwest PW94 Replacement Mesh Visor is a replacement component for an existing compatible face-protection assembly. The manufacturer lists it for the PW93 browguard and the PW58 and PS58 visor carriers. Its wire-mesh construction allows airflow and a view through the screen, with EN 1731 F listed for low-energy impact protection. Check your carrier model and the supplied assembly instructions before ordering. This item is the replacement visor, so it needs the appropriate support system to be worn. Mesh is not a sealed barrier against liquid splashes or fine dust; select any additional eye or respiratory protection required by the task. Inspect the mesh and attachment points regularly, and replace damaged parts using the manufacturer’s instructions.

Portwest PW98 Forestry Combi Kit brings together a vented safety helmet, hearing protectors and a mesh face visor for suitable outdoor work. The helmet has a ratchet-adjusted headband and a six-point textile suspension, with a chin strap included. The combined arrangement keeps the components together while allowing their fit to be checked individually. The kit is listed in orange. Select it against the hazards, noise levels and other PPE required for the task, and follow the supplied assembly and adjustment instructions. A mesh visor does not provide a sealed barrier to liquids or fine particles. Inspect the shell, harness, visor and ear-muff seals before use, and replace components only with the approved parts specified for this kit.

Understand the Headwear Type

Bump caps are intended for bumps against fixed objects and are not substitutes for safety helmets where falling-object protection is required. Knitted hats and cooling accessories should not be treated as impact protection. Select the appropriate helmet for the assessed hazards and working conditions.

Check Fit, Accessories and Condition

Adjust the suspension and headband as instructed and use only approved accessories. Inspect the shell, harness and attachments before use. Follow the manufacturer’s service-life and replacement guidance, including replacement after an impact or other event where required.

FAQs

Can a bump cap replace a hard hat?

No. It does not provide the same protection against falling objects. Choose the type required by the task assessment.

Will any ear defender or visor fit a helmet?

No. Confirm the approved model combination, carrier and attachment system.

Is there one replacement interval for every helmet?

No. Follow the exact manufacturer’s instructions and the equipment’s condition and use history.
