What to Compare Before Buying
- Protection level: This is a bump cap to the EN 812 standard, so compare it with the type of head protection you actually need.
- Peak length: The 7 cm peak is a useful feature if you want extra shade at the front.
- Fit: The hook and loop rear closure helps adjust the cap, so check whether that adjustment range suits the wearer.
- Ventilation: The ventilated shell, ports and eyelet vents matter if airflow is important in warm or active conditions.
Compatibility, Size and Fit
The cap uses a rear hook and loop closure for adjustment and is described as designed to sit comfortably over most head shapes. Check the fit range against the intended wearer before choosing an offer.
Safe Use and Important Precautions
EN 812 covers bump cap protection against minor knocks, scrapes and lacerations. It is not a hard hat. Use it only where that level of protection is appropriate and follow the manufacturer instructions for wearing and care.
Before You Decide
Confirm that the exact model is PW59, and check that a bump cap with a 7 cm peak and adjustable rear closure matches the way you plan to use it. If you need a different level of head protection, compare a different type of cap before choosing.
