Ballistic helmets made with Dyneema® meet lightweight requirements in Asia-Pacific
Read how Dyneema® is meeting the lightweight ballistic helmet requirements of the Warrior Platform Project
With the recent Labor Day holiday, summertime has come to an end in the United States. However, for parts of the country, the heat is far from over. Earlier this month, Northern California experienced record
high temperatures of up to 109° Fahrenheit. For our law enforcement officers and first responders, their protective gear makes these hot days feel even hotter.
Officers may find relief in their precincts or their air-conditioned patrol vehicle, firefighters in their stations or rigs and EMS personnel in their ambulances or an ER, but what about when they’re responding to incidents outdoors, in large crowds or in locations without air conditioning?
Many precautions and preparations can be taken, such as: staying hydrated, standing in the shade when possible, wearing sunscreen and taking frequent breaks. EMS and firefighters may even consider leaving that protective soft armor behind, but heat should be no reason to sacrifice safety.
Dyneema® assures they don’t have to and provides those who work to protect our communities with a solution that is:
Law enforcement officers, firefighters and EMS sacrifice enough. No matter the temperature, they shouldn’t need to sacrifice their protection. With Dyneema®, wearers can feel confident they are equipped with the strongest, lightest and most breathable protective material on the market.
