Pacific F15 Jet Style Structural Firefighting Helmet
The Pacific F15 Structural Fire Helmet from Pacific Helmets NZ Ltd combines the heritage and proven safety of Pacific’s unique DuPont™ Kevlar® and Fibreglass reinforced composite shell technology with an advanced polymer chassis to revolutionize your firefighting experience.
SHELL & CHASSIS
The shell of the F15 is a composite of Dupont™ Kevlar® and fiberglass, which provides excellent impact and penetration protection while being chemical, UV, heat, and flame resistant. The shell is ultrasonically welded to an advanced polymer chassis, combining the proven strength of the Pacific shell with a platform for integration of accessories.
FACE SHIELD
The internally mounted Dual Pivot Face Shield on the F15 helmet provides full face coverage and is heat and flame resistant, optically correct, anti-scratch and anti-fog coated. The face shield provides full coverage with plenty of internal space through a unique dual pivot system. This allows the face shield to pivot away from the face as it deploys. The face shield can be fully deployed over an SCBA mask without obstructing your field of vision while giving you an added layer of protection.
ONE TOUCH EYE PROTECTOR
The F15 Helmet also features the Pacific One Touch Eye Protection (OTEP™) when full face protection is not needed. To deploy, simply push up on the OTEP and the shield automatically deploys. The wrap around design provides maximum protection to the wearer’s eyes, especially from lateral impacts. The OTEP is made of fire-retardant polycarbonate, it is highly resistant to shock, impact and scratching. The lenses are optically neutral and achieve Optic Level 1 in full compliance to:EN14458:2004, NFPA1971:2018, ANSI Z87.1:2020, EN166:2001, AS/NZS 1337.1:2010 standards.
4 POINT CHINSTRAP
• Quick Release Buckle
• 4-point chinstrap made of fire retardant Nomex® webbing
• Dual rear “rip cord” nape straps allow for a single pull rapid adjustment for maximum security
• Easy adjustments, even with gloved hand
GLOBALLY ADJUSTABLE HEADBAND
The F15 Helmet headband design eliminates pressure points by using global contraction to contour evenly around the user. The ratchet adjustment enables the headband to be resized to fit a wide range of head sizes, and the angle of the nape strap can be adjusted through a range of 100° to perfectly suit the wearer comfort and provide a secure fit for all head shapes & sizes. There are also three height adjustment levels to ensure stability and comfort for all head sizes.
PERFECT BALANCE
The F15 has an optimized center of gravity, giving it stability and making it feel lighter to wear. Combined with 5 specially designed points of impact attenuation, the result is a helmet that reduces neck and spine fatigue and provides greater protection against falls and impacts.
6 POINT CRADLE SYSYEM
The 6-point ribbon cradle suspension system creates clearance between the top of the wearer’s head and the impact liner. This elastically cushions the head and at the same time allows for unobstructed air flow inside the helmet, keeping the head well ventilated.
COMFORT PADDING
Padded Air Mesh with Leather front and rear padding in the F15’s liner provides comfortable wear over prolonged use. The 3D mesh provides optimal internal air circulation throughout the liner. The Padded Air Mesh wicks moisture away from your skin.
The entire padding system is easily removed for cleaning or decontamination without tools and with a gloved hand. It is attached to the helmet shell by hooks and Velcro.
NECK PROTECTOR
The F15 Helmet is supplied standard with a double layer Nomex® neck protector. This provides superior flame & thermal protection and also includes anti-static and water repellent properties. A gusseted design provides natural outward curvature ensuring compatibility with all turnout jacket collars.
