COASTGUARD AND
LIFEBOAT CREWS
Gecko Head Gear is the world’s leading manufacturer of Coastguard and Lifeboat Helmets.
The RNLI were instrumental in the development of the original Gecko open face helmet. The purpose designed lifeboat helmet provides a motorcycle helmet level of protection in a lightweight and buoyant design.
So what helmet is best …
The open-face helmet is a popular choice for coastguards and government officials because it provides ultimate flexibility. It’s a lightweight helmet that offers the highest protection of any other marine helmet, that has been rigorously tested in extreme environments. The 100 Joules impact energy protection provided by PAS 028 certified helmets keeps the wearer safe from rough conditions plus high-speed impacts with water. Additionally, the helmet can be fitted with a visor or worn with goggles to provide protection from sea spray and the elements. The inflatable liner provides warmth, comfort and buoyancy as well as the ability to resize the helmet to accommodate a very wide range of head sizes. Custom Gecko helmets are made-to-order giving the option to create a fleet of matching, highly visible, reflective and fully branded helmets for your crew.
