Fibreglass is chosen over ABS where heat, or a shell that must not soften, is the controlling factor — it holds its shape at temperatures that would deform a thermoplastic shell. It is heavier, and that trade is deliberate.\u003c\/p\u003e\u003ch2\u003eConstruction\u003c\/h2\u003e\u003cul\u003e\n\u003cli\u003eGlass fibre reinforced shell\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003eRiveted harness mounting\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003eAdjustable headband\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003eFront peak\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003c\/ul\u003e\u003ch2\u003eWhere it fits\u003c\/h2\u003e\u003cp\u003eHot work, foundries, and sites that specify a thermoset shell.

It is heavier than ABS and it costs more, so it is a specification decision rather than an upgrade. Whether it also has to be electrically insulating is a separate requirement to state explicitly, because that depends on the shell and not on the name of the material.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003ch2\u003eWhat to confirm before ordering\u003c\/h2\u003e\n\u003cul\u003e\n\u003cli\u003e\n\u003cstrong\u003eThe standard and shell class your site specifies\u003c\/strong\u003e: EN 397 and ANSI Z89.1 differ in the tests applied and in the markings, so which one applies has to be stated.\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003e\n\u003cstrong\u003eWhether electrical insulation is required\u003c\/strong\u003e: Insulation is a property of the shell specification, not a feature that comes with being plastic.\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003e\n\u003cstrong\u003eHarness type\u003c\/strong\u003e: Ratchet or pin-lock changes adjustment speed, and the harness is part of the certified article.\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003e\n\u003cstrong\u003eWhether the peak must clear a face shield or welding mask\u003c\/strong\u003e: Peak length is a compatibility decision, not a style one.\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003e\n\u003cstrong\u003eColour coding, if your site uses it for trade identification\u003c\/strong\u003e.\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003c\/ul\u003e\n\u003ch2\u003eCompliance note\u003c\/h2\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eA helmet is certified as a complete article - shell, harness and headband together - and the certificate names the standard, the shell material and the size range. Fitting a different harness or an accessory can take the article outside its certification, which is why helmets are not mixed and matched. The shell material and the standard the build is designed to are stated here; the certificate for the article you order, with its standard and its marking, is confirmed at order stage. A helmet that has taken a significant impact is spent, whatever it looks like.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003ch2\u003eRelated formats\u003c\/h2\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eFor closely related builds see \u003ca href=\"\/products\/abs-safety-helmet\"\u003eABS Safety Helmet\u003c\/a\u003e and \u003ca href=\"\/products\/welding-mask\"\u003eWelding Mask\u003c\/a\u003e.
