HARDCAP A1+

INDUSTRY LEADING BUMP CAP

TECHNOLOGY, THE ONLY BUMPCAP TO EXCEED THE A1+ VARIANT OF EN812
The new HardCap A1+ is another major innovation from
JSP in head protection design. Designed to exceed the most
recent standards, years of thought and design iterations
have been undertaken to develop a product that is unrivalled
in both performance and style. Sleek and low profile, its
almost impossible to distinguish from a standard high street
baseball cap.
The unique angled adjuster designed to fit under the occipital
bone at the rear of the skull means that one size really does
fit all, particularly when combined with the castellated
protective liner. The liner is removable, therefore the cap part
is machine-washable for hygiene purposes. It has a terrytowelling sweatband for added comfort and all colour-ways
have subtle reflective piping for added visibility safety.

How We Designed our HardCap A1+

EN standards require Bump Caps to conform to

EN812:1997/A1:2001. This is to protect the wearer from
impacts at 30 and 60 from vertical at the front and the
back of the head. We needed a One-Size-Fits-All liner to
work together with a stylish new cap, to improve on the
performance and aesthetic appearance of our Top-Cap.
Comfort was a high priority to increase customer / user
acceptance. We call it the A1+ because, like much of our
PPE, it exceeds the required standard. EN812:1997/
A1:2001 is the most current standard, but we designed the
new HardCap to go beyond this because we wanted to
offer maximum protection possible within the parameters
of a bump cap.

The significant difference between the helmet standard and the bump cap standard is the shock absorption test. As
the product is designed to stop the wearer banging their head the impact test is at a much lower energy, the 5kg flat
only dropping 250mm. However, with an industrial helmet which the wearer would replace after an impact,

it
is
expected
that the wearer would bump their head several50
times,
so the standard requires the impact test to be

carried out 4 times! Each impact is carried out with the head at a different angle, so much more of the head is subject
to testing. As with the industrial safety helmets, the testing is again done at different conditions, +50C, -10C and
following water immersion.
