CSC10 Riot Helmet with 4 mm Clear Visor + 10 mm Foldable Flame-Retardant Neck Guard
Construction, resistance and operational focus
- Manufactured in HRP polyethylene specially used for competition helmets, together with a proprietary hybrid compound, providing exceptional resistance against penetrations, impacts and corrosive agents.
- The helmet is not painted: the colour is obtained during component mixing at manufacturing stage.
- Most common colour: matte black to avoid reflections or glare. Colours on request: white, yellow, blue and red.
- Special treatment to provide increased rigidity against impacts, scratches and corrosive agents.
- Product evolved over more than 10 years thanks to feedback from police officers and prison officers, aiming for maximum comfort and safety with an affordable cost for administrations.
Certifications and compliance
- CE certified under Directive 93/68/EEC.
- UNE EN397:2012 certified for penetration and resistance.
- N.S.N.: 8415-33-208-3593
Communication and liquid protection
- 2 dedicated holes at ear level to facilitate agent communication.
- They include a one-way membrane filter that prevents liquids from entering the helmet while allowing clear hearing.
Clear visor (face shield) – 4 mm HP Polycarbonate
- Face shield made of HP polycarbonate (Lexan HP), offering high resistance and flexibility (used in eyewear and riot shields).
- Standard thickness: 4 mm to ensure strong impact resistance towards the agent’s face.
- Treatments: UV, anti-fog and anti-scratch.
- Virtually zero visual distortion for prolonged use without dizziness or headaches.
- Soft upper rubber seal with UV protection and corrosive liquid protection to avoid liquid entry into the helmet.
- Front oversizing for full compatibility with gas masks, preventing contact with mask visor and filter.
Visor opening/closing system
- 4-point visor attachment to reinforce opening and closing stops.
- Mechanical system assisted by rollers.
- Graduated opening in 3 different positions plus fixed vertical position.
- The clear visor can be easily replaced with the VIS10 (not included), the same visor with smoked finish for full sun operations.
Foldable flame-retardant neck guard – 10 mm (1 cm) EVA + flame-retardant fabric
- Neck protection made of 3 flame-retardant pieces joined with military specification Velcro.
- Protects against impacts and prevents liquids entering towards the user’s neck and back.
- Pieces covered with flame-retardant fabric, protecting a special anti-trauma padding of 1 cm high-density expanded EVA foam.
- Flame-retardant protection level B1 according to GB/T 17591-2006 (FLAME RETARDANT FABRICS).
- The system protects not only the rear but also both sides of the neck.
- Neck guard is fully stowable: folds inside the helmet for stable flat resting, belt carry and compact storage.
- Fast one-hand deployment, with near automatic attachment of the 3 parts.
- Total covered area: 350 cm2.
Interior suspension and comfort
- Adjustable multi-size retention: main ring adjustable in diameter via Velcro.
- Suspension made with 1000 denier nylon tape.
- Except the main ring, all suspension straps remain away from the user’s head so impact energy dissipates through pads and straps, not directly to the head.
- Internal padding includes anti-bacterial treatment.
- Separator net with same treatment and 100% breathable.
- Air chamber between suspension and shell helps sweat evaporation and improves comfort.
Closure and skin-contact materials
- Xmax closure as used in Formula 1 competition helmets.
- Includes a chin protection (chin cup) made of soft rubber, with no sharp edges, ergonomically shaped for comfort.
- All straps in contact with skin are lined with hypoallergenic, non-porous faux-leather fabric to enable easy cleaning and maintenance.
Identification and anti-counterfeit
- Identification label sewn into an internal strap: brand, model, serial number and year of manufacture.
- “Agent” and “Unit” fields behind the label for user and unit identification.
- Lower metallic identification plate as ORIGINAL NIDEC riot helmet authentication. Do not accept imitations.
Retention ring and belt carry
- Rear retention ring enabling belt carry using the included hook LLA25, allowing the helmet to rest on the thigh.
Certified tests and performance
- CE certificate.
- UNE EN397 certificate.
- N.S.N.: 8415-33-208-3593
- Resistant to typical impacts in crowds, fights, demonstrations, evictions, etc.
Limited ballistic resistance (helmet and visor)
- Test: shot from 5 meters with a 12/70 shotgun and 32 g pellet cartridge.
- Initial velocity: 450 m/s.
- Muzzle energy: 3240 Joules.
- Result: no pellet penetrated the helmet or the visor.
Anti-fragment resistance
- V50: 240 m/s.
Drop impact resistance
- Test: 2 free drops onto a concrete floor with constant acceleration 9.8 m/s2 from 1835 mm.
- Result: no breakage, no cracks, nothing that could question the helmet’s safety.
- Total helmet mass: 1.92 kg (+-5%).
- Drop height: 1,835 mm.
- Kinetic energy just before impact: 34 J (Joules).
Penetration resistance (EN397)
- Impact of a 3 kg punch dropped twice (distance < 75 mm between impacts).
- Height: 3 meters.
- Result: no penetration.
Logistics
- Master carton of 9 CSC10: 82 x 85 x 33 cm (L x H x W) and 24.2 kg.
