From the construction site to high altitudes: a helmet for every challenge

In the construction, industrial, and plant engineering sectors, a work helmet is not just a legal requirement, but the fine line between an unexpected event and maximum safety. On modern construction sites, where risks related to suspended loads, lateral impacts, or falls from height are a daily occurrence, wearing an excellent Personal Protective Equipment (PPE) is essential. Kapriol's design was born precisely to overcome the old myth of the uncomfortable helmet, combining materials engineering with unprecedented comfort for the entire working day.

The strength of the Kapriol offer lies in the ability to diversify structures according to the specific risk. Where maximum impact energy dissipation capacity is required, the helmets feature rigid shells designed to protect the cranium in a targeted manner, meeting the needs of those working on the ground, near electrical systems, or at high altitudes.

For those carrying out work at height, the benchmark model is the Airkap Plus helmet. Lightweight and comfortable, it features an ABS shell with 8 ventilation holes for thermoregulation and a sweat-wicking, antibacterial foam inner padding. Its key feature is the 4-point chinstrap compliant with EN 397, equipped with an intelligent release system that opens between 15 and 25 kg to prevent the risk of strangulation. It also offers a micrometric adjustment system that can be operated even with gloves, and a customizable back section for adhesive stickers.

For traditional construction activities, the answer is the Kapriol Prokap model (EN 397 standard) made of robust ABS, which stands out for its high-grip fabric interior, upper ventilation holes, and a quick-adjustment wheel. For those requiring protection from electrical hazards, the range offers the shockproof PVC construction helmet: a dielectric model certified for accidental contacts up to 440 V alternating current (AC), equipped with 6 anchoring points to the shell.

Kapriol's attention also extends to logistics or workshop contexts where a structural helmet is not required, but a barrier against superficial wounds is. The bump cap (EN 812 standard) combines the practicality of a baseball cap with the safety of an internal ABS protective shell with EVA shock-absorbing inserts, adjustable with a velcro closure.

The real added value of these devices is their readiness to integrate accessories simply and immediately, customizing protection for every task. The Prokap and PVC models are already equipped with slots for quick attachment of earmuffs. Those who choose the Airkap Plus line can instead complete their equipment with dedicated components: the mesh protective visor rotatable in two positions, adjustable helmet safety glasses that can also be worn over prescription glasses, and Silver 30 Kap earmuffs with bayonet attachment and sliding adjustment.

Choosing Kapriol head protection means relying on versatile solutions capable of transforming regulatory requirements into tangible advantages in the field. Whether it is working at height with the Airkap Plus, operating on live equipment, or moving around a warehouse with a bump cap, Kapriol offers the exact answer for every professional.

Investing in the quality of your PPE means raising the standards of your business with tools featuring a modern, ergonomic design and uncompromising reliability.
