The PIP Traverse Helmet: A Head Above the Rest for Safety  

Construction sites are increasingly transitioning from standard hard hats to more advanced protective helmets for workers. This shift is driven by helmets' superior ability to prevent head injuries compared to traditional hard hats. While hard hats sit loosely on top of the head, helmets integrate straps and suspension systems that keep them securely in place even upon impact. Their snug fit protects from overhead falling objects as well as forceful sideways collisions.

Many modern helmets meet Type II safety standards, providing dual protection from impacts to the top and sides of the head. Some helmets feature advanced technologies like MIPS, which uses a low-friction inner layer to reduce rotational force caused by angled blows.

Working in construction and industrial settings poses serious risks of head injuries from falling objects, bumps, collisions, and falls. At Up Side Down Supply, we know that safety and productivity come first and foremost on job sites. That's why we provide teams with a wide range of head protection, featuring the PIP Traverse helmets.

Designed for optimal protection and comfort, the Traverse meets rigorous safety standards while offering plenty of optional features like ventilation and hi-visibility. Its durable HDPE shell withstands impacts from sharp and heavy materials. In addition, the integrated rain gutter and extended back-of-head coverage keep workers shielded in wet conditions.

This ANSI Certified Type II, industrial climbing helmet offers superior impact protection while working at heights or in confined spaces. Its innovative MIPS technology works to redirect forces on the top and sides and reduce the impact on the wearer. The suspension can also be adjusted for a personalized fit that stays secure and stable.

For added functionality, the Traverse accommodates attachments like eyewear, face shields, name tags, reflective kits, and more. The helmet comes in a variety of colors including high-visibility lime to further improve on-site safety.

Feel more assured tackling each job knowing your team has excellent protection on their heads. The PIP Traverse helmet provides that peace of mind along with unparalleled comfort from its breathable, moisture-wicking sweatband.
