Jackson Safety XS2-500 Type 2 Safety Helmet, Vented

Micro-Brim Shell With Headlamp Clips and a Four-Point Chin Strap on a Vented Class C Platform | Jackson Safety

Product Overview

A helmet that will not take a light is a helmet the crew works around. The Jackson Safety XS2-500 vented safety helmet carries headlamp and headband clips on the shell, a micro-brim that channels rain to the sides, and a 4-point chin strap. The shell is Class C and carries no electrical rating.

The Hard Hat Interchange System lets the same shell take other Jackson Safety above-the-neck gear rather than locking a crew into one setup. Ratings on this Type 2 vented safety helmet run ANSI Z89.1 Class C and CSA Class C, with HT and LT temperature marks. Part of the Jackson Safety line from SureWerx.

Key Features

• Headlamp and headband clips on the shell: SureWerx lists headlamp and headband clips among the special features for this model. A light mounts to the shell rather than riding on an elastic strap that slides, which matters in a wet well, a tank interior or a night shift. Ordering a safety helmet with headlamp clips means the light and the helmet arrive as one decision instead of two.
• Micro-brim that moves water sideways: The brim is short enough to keep sightlines clear when a worker looks up, and shaped to channel rain to the sides instead of letting it run onto the face or down the back of the neck. A micro-brim safety helmet gives rain control without the overhead clearance problem a full brim creates on a ladder or under a hatch.
• Air-cooled suspension under a vented shell: Openings through the shell let heat out and the 6-point Comfort Plus Air-Cooled suspension moves air across the head underneath. That venting is also what makes this a Class C vented safety helmet with no electrical rating. If anyone on the crew may contact energized equipment, order the non-vented version, which is Class E.
• Interchange rather than replacement: The shell is slotted at the sides and works with the Hard Hat Interchange System, so face shields, earmuffs and other above-the-neck gear attach to the helmet already on the worker's head. A crew that later needs eye protection adds a shield rather than buying a second helmet.

Applications

The Jackson Safety XS2-500 vented safety helmet suits work where a light matters as much as the shell, and where nothing on site is energized. A safety helmet with headlamp clips earns its keep anywhere the daylight stops at the hatch.

• Wet well, vault and tank interior inspection, where a safety helmet with headlamp clips replaces a handheld
• Night and shoulder-season shifts where a headlamp stays on the helmet
• Overhead work where a full brim would block the sightline
• Outdoor work in rain, where water off the face matters more than a wide brim
• Crews standardizing on one shell and adding gear as the task changes

A safety helmet for confined space work needs a light and a low profile, and this model carries both. It is not confined space rated, because no such rating exists for head protection, and entry still calls for its own equipment and procedures.

If the crew needs certified eye protection on the helmet itself, the XS2-500 with the flip-up visor covers that and trades away the headlamp clips. These sit together in hard hats and bump caps at Cleanflow.
