Rosenbauer created a helmet that meets all the demands of combating forest, wildland fires, and technical rescues.
The increasing incidence of wildfires and floods due to climate change has altered the requirements for personal protective equipment for firefighters. In response, Rosenbauer has completely redesigned the HEROS H10, creating a helmet that meets all the demands of combating wildfires, vegetation fires, and technical rescues. Development began in July 2021, resulting in a versatile and robust helmet that meets five European standards. The helmet stands out for its lightweight design of only 800 grams, excellent ventilation, and comprehensive protection. The HEROS H10 can be ordered in the Rosenbauer online store and will be available from September 2024.
The HEROS H10 meets five European standards (EN 16471, EN 16473, EN 12492, EN 1385, and EN 397), making it unique. This allows it to be used not only in forest and wildland firefighting and technical rescue but also as a mountaineering and white-water helmet. Additionally, it meets the standards for work and industrial safety helmets. It is certified for both the European and Australian markets.
Its light weight and wide range of applications make the HEROS H10 special. With an operational weight of only approximately 800 grams and improved ventilation, it offers high comfort even during long operations. Furthermore, the HEROS H10 impresses with its robustness, being made from highly heat- and flame-resistant plastic. The break-resistant helmet shell provides high protection against mechanical impacts such as falling branches or rockfalls. The helmet also protects against shocks, penetration, flames, smoldering ash, and electrical and chemical hazards.
Another advantage of the HEROS H10 is its compatibility with the interior fittings of its predecessor models. Various components of the HEROS line, such as the HEROS 30 or HEROS Titan, can be easily reused. Additional components, like a central helmet lamp or a position light on the back of the head, can be easily attached, optimizing the use of synergies. The helmet also impresses with its easy adjustability without tools. The user-friendly handling greatly facilitates operational hygiene.
Another special feature of the HEROS H10 is its generous size range from 48 to 67 cm head circumference. No other helmet offers such comprehensive coverage of these sizes with just one helmet shell. Additionally, the HEROS H10 impresses with its sophisticated design, emphasizing the characteristic features of the HEROS system.
