Bashlin Helmet

[Kingsley]

Hey

 

I've just come into ownership of a Bashlin climbing helmet.

The ear defender has been snapped off on one side and i was wondering if anybody could recommend what replacement i should be investing in? Or indeed whether there are any replacements available?

 

Cheers

are the ear defenders a sordin or peltor attachment?

Before you spend money repairing it are you intending using it as a climbing helmet?

 

AFAG 401 says it needs to conform to EN 12492 as a minimum.

 

The old EN397 standard is no longer considered fit for purpose for climbing due to a lack of lateral impact protection.

 

I thought the Bashlin lineman helmet was to en397 but I stand to be corrected.

Yes the Bashlin was rated to EN397 not EN12492. This helmet has not been available for a number of years now. The ear Defenders were specific to the helmet MSA and Peltor will not fit sorry.
