The 3M SecureFit Safety Helmet X5000 meets ANSI Z89.1 and is tested to various impact and penetration requirements of the European EN12492 Mountaineering Helmet Standard for industrial climbing applications. It is designed to provide head protection from small falling objects. Not only does it have a modern climbing helmet-inspired design, but it also offers increased comfort and security due to 3M’s Pressure Diffusion technology integrated into the suspension. The brimless design allows for better awareness of certain hazards.

Moreover, the 3M SecureFit suspension uses 3M patented pressure diffusion technology that increases comfort while providing a secure fit by reducing the force on the forehead by up to 20% compared to conventional helmet suspensions. A smooth, easy-turning ratchet suspension system allows for tightening of the headband. There are also fifteen adjustment settings on the 3M SecureFit Helmet, X5000 series, which allow for different height and front-to-back adjustments. It sits low on the head to reduce pressure and increase comfort and security. The vents are designed to allow airflow through the helmet.

Additionally, it features a UVicator sensor that changes color as the hard hat is exposed to ultraviolet (UV) light. The hard hat should be replaced when the sensor changes from red to white, as the sun’s UV rays can cause the hard hat shell to become brittle and compromise its protective ability. This helmet is equipped with accessory slots and clips that can work with a variety of 3M accessories and other 3M PPE products. It comes in eight colors and is available with 3M Scotchlite reflective material for increased visibility under low light conditions.
