The next generation police riot helmet provides tough and comfortable impact protection for the user, whilst remaining lightweight. The helmet is designed to keep communications clear in chaotic riot situations.

VISOR

The tough polycarbonate visor provides a full, clear �eld of view. Special coatings block out harmful UV rays and laser beams. Anti-fog coatings also ensure the visor remains clear. A failsafe locking mechanism ensures the visor remains in place.

HEAD STRAP

A chin strap, internal head harness and positionable pads provides comfortable and secure �tting of the helmet.

TOUGH VISOR

A rigid “jaw” provides impact protection. It also incorporates an internal locking system which enables users to don respirator masks without removing the helmet.

CLEAR HEARING

The helmet connects to radio communications via bluetooth and hard-wire links. This is ampli�ed via small speakers inside the helmet. A mechanical diaphragm also clearly picks up speech from the environment. These features ensure crystal clear communication.

TOUGH IMPACT PROTECTION

The �ame-resistant outer shell of the helmet proves tough impact protection. The innovative use of shock absorbing materials means this outer shell is thin and lightweight whilst still maintaining protection.

MANUFACTURE

The manufacturing cost of producing this helmet in the UK would be approximately £125.

PRO-TECH RIOT HELMETThe Pro-tech police riot helmet concept uses new materials in an innovative way to make a helmet that is comfortable to wear whilst also maintaining a high level of protection.

TOUGH OUTER SHELL

The outer shell of the helmet is made from �re resistant, glass reinforced PBT. The particular PBT used is upcycled from 60% consumer waste and has none of the carcinogenic post-burn e�ects associated with other �uoropolymers.

SHOCK ABSORBING LINING

The helmet is lined with a shock adsorbing material called De�exion. It is a �exible textile under normal use but becomes rigid under sudden shock. This dissipates any force from sudden shocks to prevent user injury. This is lined with Nomex to provide �ame resistance.

COOLING PADS

Foam pads �lled with phase change materials (PCM) regulate temperature inside the helmet to increase comfort. They are re-positionable in order to accommodate di�erent user sizes.

NECK PROTECTION

To provide �exible neck protection a double layer of De�exion material is incorporated into a collar. Combined with the lightweight design this greatly improves mobility.

HEADS UP DISPLAY (HUD)

A HUD system projects vital information onto the inside of the visor such as updates on the situation and the location of colleagues (through in-built GPS). This technology is based upon existing jet-�ghter pilots helmet technology. A torch is also incorporated into the visor.

CLEAR COMMUNICATIONS

Microphones and noise-cancelling speakers incorporated into the visor clearly project the users voice in loud and chaotic situations.
