The Dräger describes her helmet as follows:

The Dräger HPS 7000 firefighter’s helmet is in a class of its own thanks to its innovative, sporty and dynamic design, ergonomic fit and components which make it a multifunctional system solution. It provides you optimum protection during every operation.

Benefits

Tailor-made fit for every head
To meet this requirement, Dräger developed the HPS 7000 in close cooperation with customers worldwide. Two helmet shells for head sizes from 50 to 66 cm cover a wide range of individual head and face shapes. With a weight of approx. 1,380 g as basicversion, it is one of the lightest helmets in its class. In addition to its comfortable interior fitting made of skin-friendly, anti-allergic and flexible materials, the Dräger HPS 7000 stands out with its high level of operating and wearing comfort.

Design at its strongest
The ergonomic helmet design evenly distributes the weight to the head and relieves the neck muscles. The large and modern facial protection visor offers unrestricted protection with best visibility. For operations under chemical protective suits, the visor can be fixed permanently. A safe alternative is provided by the integrated and individually adjustable protective goggles with integrated softpad edge protection. Both visors leave enough space for the simultaneous use of corrective glasses or respiratory masks. A firefighter's helmet is more than a mere piece of equipment – it serves as a personal distinguishing feature. Therefore, you can configur the helmet according to your wishes: select from a variety of colours and also pick an individual emblem for your front plate.

Highest safety - the material mix makes the difference
Despite its low weight, the Dräger HPS 7000 is one of the safest full-shell helmet in its class. Its outer shell of composite material in combination with the PUR inner shell provides reliable protection against thermal and mechanical influences. The plastic reinforced with glass fibre and aramide webbing resists extreme temperatures. It is even able to withstand the enormous radiation heat and flame engulfment of a flashover. The visors of high temperature resistant polyether sulphone reliably protect your eyes and face reliably against high heat, particles and liquid chemicals.

Ready again in no time at all
The Dräger HPS 7000 is easy and efficient to service due to the minimum number of components. The entire interior fitting can be removed and re-installed in just a few steps. You can replace individual components easily and quickly, using standard tools. All helmet components are cleaned and disinfected manually or in an industrial washing machine.

Comfort is a matter of position
The padded 4-point harness allows for safe and easy adjustment to any head shape. The optimum balance of the helmet can be adjusted individually in the neck and chin area. The padding made of Nomex also ensures a comfortable fit. The integrated comfort hairnet enables the height to be adjusted and assures a good climate inside the helmet. During operation, the head size can be adjusted quickly via an easy-to-operate size adjustment wheel with safety mechanism on the outer shell, even with wet and thick gloves.

Innovative system design
As a provider of integrated system solutions, Dräger sets new standards for the interaction of its products. The universally and individually adjustable mask connection system of the Dräger HPS 7000 creates a strong and safe helmet-mask combination The full-face mask FPS 7000, the integrated mask communication unit FPS 7000 COM-PLUS and the SCBA of the PSS series allow you to optimally configure the overall system. The light-weight LED helmet lamp is integrated into the helmet shell and illuminates the whole working area. It is located in the centre of the front plate and has an effective glare shield as well as intelligent battery management system. The interior fitting can be equipped with various audio/speech headsets for different radios. This ensures reliable communication even in loud environments.

Nothing left to be desired
A comprehensive accessory programme completes the Dräger package. Reflective strip improve your visibility under unfavourable conditions and allow for individual marking. Matched to your clothing, the various neck protection versions reliably keep your back free. Separate helmet lamps are attached with a lamp adapter on the right or left helmet side. A Nomex coating protects your helmet in any training situation and extends its service life. Helmet bags and cases provide safe storage and transport.

Outstanding Design
The firefighter’s helmet Dräger HPS 7000 has been awarded two major design awards:
iF product design award 2014
red dot design award 2013

Both awards count among the most important international design competitions and not only rate design quality, but also aspects such as safety, ergonomics, functionality, degree of innovation and environmental compatibility. The red dot jury based its decision on: “The notably light Dräger HPS 7000 firefighter helmet can be customised to comfortably fit any head size and guarantees enhanced safety.”
