The Open Face helmet is the worlds first marine safety helmet. Gecko Head Gear first developed the Open Face marine safety helmet for the RNLI to fill a gap in the market for a lightweight, high-performance helmet that is suitable for use in marine environments. Since 1995 the RNLI have continued to use this helmet and have helped to refine the design. Today, the Gecko Open Face helmet is used by numerous organisations worldwide including the Royal Air Force, Police and MOD. It meets BSI marine safety helmet standard PAS 028:2002.

The open face marine safety helmet is compatible with a variety of accessories including visors, goggles and comms. The helmet has two side inserts that take grips to hold equipment such as a camera or flashlight. Please note that ear defenders cannot be worn with this helmet, so please see our cut away model if this is one of your requirements.

    • The patented inflatable liner is an integral part of the helmet design; through an oral valve, the liner has the ability to inflate or deflate to create a perfect fit every time.

    • The liner offers an inherent buoyancy to the user, and if overboard and rising up to the surface will position user to rise with the helmet to take any impacts.

    • The grooves along the helmet are designed to increase the strength to weight ratio of the ABS shell. It also allows water to run off the back of the helmet to keep vision clear.

    • The neck is cut high to allow users full motion of their head to look all around them including above them in case of a helicopter rescue.

    • This also allows for life jackets and buoyancy aids to be used and not push the helmet up from the back and obscure user vision.

    • The open face design offers full peripheral vision with its wide aperature while protecting the sides and back of the head.
