Description
The Alexandra Paramedic Helmet (SKU 2797) is a high-performance protective helmet designed for paramedics and emergency medical personnel working in demanding environments. It features a lightweight Kevlar® shell combined with a PU (polyurethane) impact liner to provide excellent impact and penetration resistance while minimising weight. A leather headband and leather crown comfort cap enhance comfort during prolonged wear, while the ratchet adjustment system and two-point chinstrap ensure a secure and easily adjustable fit. SCBA clip mounts are integrated to accommodate self-contained breathing apparatus when required. The helmet is certified to EN443 (firefighting helmets) and EN166 (personal eye protection interface), and is supplied in a one-size configuration with adjustable internal harness.
Bnefits
Lightweight Kevlar® shell provides high impact resistance with reduced weight, aiding comfort during long shifts.
PU impact liner enhances energy absorption and shock protection in the event of impacts.
Leather headband and leather crown comfort cap improve comfort, fit and perspiration management for extended wear.
Ratchet adjustment allows rapid, precise fitting to different head sizes within the one-size design.
Two-point chinstrap helps maintain helmet stability and retention during active emergency operations.

Usage
Before first use, inspect the helmet for any visible damage, cracks, deformation or missing components. Do not use a damaged helmet.
Adjust the internal headband and leather crown comfort cap to fit the wearer’s head snugly but comfortably.
Use the ratchet adjustment mechanism at the rear of the helmet (or as fitted) to fine-tune the fit until the helmet is stable on the head.
Place the helmet squarely on the head, ensuring it sits level and covers the forehead as intended.
Fasten the two-point chinstrap securely under the chin and adjust so that it is snug without causing discomfort; check that the helmet cannot be easily dislodged when the wearer moves or bends.
When required, attach compatible SCBA components to the SCBA clip mounts according to the SCBA manufacturer’s instructions and local protocols.
Use with appropriate eye and face protection in line with EN166 and local PPE policies (e.g. safety goggles or visor compatible with the helmet).
After each use, visually check the helmet for signs of impact, cracking, deformation, chemical splashes or heat damage; remove from service and replace if any structural damage is suspected.
Clean the shell and external components using mild detergent and water or manufacturer-recommended cleaning agents; avoid harsh solvents or abrasives that may degrade the helmet materials.
Allow the helmet to dry naturally away from direct heat sources before storage.
Follow any additional instructions provided by the brand or supplier and comply with local PPE inspection and replacement schedules.
Contraindications
Not intended for use outside the scope of its certification (e.g. not for use as industrial climbing equipment or motorcycle helmet).
Do not use if the helmet has sustained a significant impact, shows visible cracks, deformation, melted areas or other damage.
Do not use if any component (shell, liner, chinstrap, ratchet system or SCBA clips) is missing, excessively worn or non-functional.
Not suitable for users whose head size or shape cannot be accommodated safely within the one-size adjustable range.
Use only in combination with compatible SCBA and accessories as specified by the respective equipment manufacturers and local safety policies.
Adverse Effects
Prolonged wear may cause local pressure, discomfort or skin irritation on the scalp, forehead or under the chinstrap in some users.
Improper adjustment or loose chinstrap may reduce protective performance and increase the risk of injury during impact.
Excessive tightening of the headband or chinstrap may cause headaches or pressure marks.
Use in high-heat or chemically aggressive environments beyond the helmet’s tested limits may result in material degradation and reduced protection if not managed according to safety guidelines.
Storage Conditions
Store in a cool, dry, well-ventilated place away from direct sunlight when not in use.
Keep away from sources of excessive heat, open flame, or chemicals/solvents that could degrade the Kevlar® shell, PU liner or leather components.
Do not place heavy objects on top of the helmet or store it in a way that could deform the shell or liner.
Follow routine PPE inspection schedules and manufacturer or supplier guidance for maximum service life and replacement intervals.
