PS54 Endurance Plus Safety Hard Hat Head Protection ABS Shell EN 397 and EN 50365 Certified 6 Point Suspension Wheel Ratchet Adjustment 4-Point Chin Strap, White, One Size

🛠️ 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.

Very good hard hat for a very reasonable price. It's comfortable and the cog at the rear for tightening allows for a good fit. It would be improved if the chin strap could be loosened more or a catch to allow it to open fully.

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

Perfect a really good hat very comfortable

Good quality and easy to use. Comfortable.

Good hard hat with chin strap.

Fits well

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! :)

Gute Ware

Top quality

Très bon casque de sécurité, léger et confortable même porté toute la journée. Le système de réglage est simple et efficace, il tient bien sur la tête. Bonne ventilation, on n’a pas trop chaud, même sur chantier. La qualité Portwest est au rendez-vous, le casque semble solide et fiable. Excellent choix pour un usage professionnel, je suis très satisfait.

Well-made hard hat. Never want to test its capability though, but it gives the feeling that it could save me from serious injury if the situation ever arises.

Very good hard hat
