More Than a Product; It's a Piece of Life-Saving Equipment.

Developing a custom safety helmet line through an OEM partner like SPIRIT is a strategic, multi-stage process. It begins with a deep consultation to define the product's intended use, target market, desired features, and the specific safety certifications required (e.g., CPSC, ANSI). Next, our collaborative design and engineering phase translates your brand's aesthetic into a functional, manufacturable design that can meet those standards. We then create prototypes for your review and conduct extensive in-house pre-testing to validate the design's performance. Once the design is finalized, we manage the entire manufacturing process, including sourcing certified materials and implementing rigorous quality control. The final step is managing the official third-party certification testing, delivering a fully compliant, market-ready safety helmet line that is exclusively yours.

A safety helmet can only provide its full protection if it is worn correctly. First, ensure you have the right size. With the fit system loosened, the helmet should sit comfortably on your head. Then, tighten the retention system (often a dial or ratchet) until the helmet is snug but not uncomfortably tight. It should not rock back and forth or side to side. The helmet should sit level on your head, with the front rim about one to two finger-widths above your eyebrows, protecting your forehead. Finally, fasten the chin strap. The strap should be snug enough that you can only fit one or two fingers between the strap and your chin. A properly fitted helmet will stay securely in place during an impact, allowing it to perform its life-saving function.

Choosing the right safety helmet begins with identifying the specific hazards of your activity or work environment. There is no "one-size-fits-all" solution. For sports, select a helmet designed and certified for that specific activity; a CPSC-certified bicycle helmet for cycling, a UIAA-certified helmet for climbing, or an ASTM/SEI-certified helmet for equestrian sports. For industrial use, identify the workplace risks. A Type I hard hat is designed for top-of-head impacts, while a Type II offers protection from lateral impacts as well. Also, consider the electrical class (G, E, or C) if there is a risk of electrical shock. Always choose a helmet that fits properly—it should be snug, level on your head, and securely fastened. An expert manufacturer like SPIRIT produces a wide range of helmets, each purpose-built to provide the correct protection for its intended use.
