Company says product offers enhanced fit, performance, and hygiene
STUDSON, a leader in above-the-neck safety solutions, has announced the release of a groundbreaking safety helmet, the STUDSON by HighBar Type II. This new helmet introduces the HighBar mono-chinstrap safety system, a significant advancement over traditional four-point nylon buckle systems. Originally developed for action sports, the HighBar strap offers enhanced fit, performance, and hygiene.
The HighBar system features a stowable and malleable polymer strap that can be easily adjusted using a twist dial, even with gloves on. This design ensures a safer and more comfortable fit, addressing common issues with conventional four-point harnesses. The strap can be rotated up for storage and quickly deployed when needed, simplifying the fitting process for industrial workers.
Andrew Herrick, general manager of HighBar LLC, highlighted the intuitive adjustment capabilities of the HighBar system, which reduce discomfort and enhance safety by eliminating the need for multiple strap adjustments. Ryan Barnes, Founder & CEO of STUDSON, emphasized the system's potential to ease the transition for workers unaccustomed to chinstraps, noting the hygienic benefits of the polymer material.
The STUDSON SHK-1 safety helmet integrates advanced technologies, including Koroyd welded polymer tubes for superior shock absorption and heat dissipation, Twiceme technology for quick access to critical health data, and ionic+ padding that reduces bacterial contamination. The helmet will be available next year, expanding STUDSON’s line of safety helmets.
