Portwest PS54 Endurance Plus Safety Hard Hat Unvented Helmet ABS Shell Electrical Insulation 6-Point Suspension Adjustable Fit Chin Strap Lateral Deformation CE Certified, White

🛠️ Portwest PS54 Endurance Hard Hat – Full Review This helmet is a proper bit of kit for construction, civil engineering, and industrial sites. It’s made from unvented ABS plastic, offering high-impact resistance while staying lightweight and comfortable. The 6-point textile suspension harness spreads weight evenly across the head, and the wheel ratchet adjustment makes it easy to dial in a snug fit—even with gloves on. It includes a 4-point chin strap for added stability, especially useful in windy conditions or active movement. The foam sweatband helps wick moisture during long shifts, and the sleek profile avoids snagging on scaffolding or fencing. Certified to EN 397 and EN 50365, it’s suitable for electrical insulation up to 440V, and rated for lateral deformation—ideal for motorway or urban sites where side impacts are a risk. ✅ Pros ABS shell—lightweight and impact-resistant 6-point harness—comfortable and secure fit Wheel ratchet—easy adjustment on the fly Chin strap included—stable in active conditions Sweatband—adds comfort for long wear EN 397 & EN 50365 certified—electrical and impact protection Available in high-vis colours—yellow, orange, white, etc. ❌ Cons Unvented shell—can get warm in summer No integrated visor—requires separate attachment Sweatband not removable—harder to clean 🧠 Personal Verdict This helmet’s built for graft. I’ve used similar models on motorway sites, ducting setups, and drainage digs, and they hold up—no cracks, no slippage, and the ratchet system’s a dream for quick adjustments. The chin strap’s a win for windy days, and the yellow shell stays visible even in low light. For around £8.95–£25.23 depending on seller, it’s a solid grab for any groundworker’s PPE kit.

Brilliant!

Lightweight for sure, and for a helmet, not too uncomfortable which is a bonus. Not had a panino land on me yet but the health and safety executive believes that is a possibility so I do wear it just in case. Will update my review if I survive a piano drop. Great price to tick a box of course and the adjustment keeps it in place, even with the hot weather where it would be nicer in my bag! :)

It’s good quality

Great value for money, very comfortable and lightweight, once a got it fitted properly to my head I didn't really notice it was on

Good hard hat with chin strap.

Hard hat for head protection. Tough and meaty!

Good fit, good quality. Only thing is there is no air vents
