Caring for Your Phenix Helmet

Maintaining your Phenix fire helmet is essential to ensure safety, comfort, and longevity. Proper care keeps your helmet functioning at its best while preserving its professional appearance.

Suspension System: Check for fraying or damage and replace any worn parts.
Chinstrap and Buckles: Ensure they are secure and functional.
Reflective Markings: Make sure all tetrahedrons or stripes are intact and visible.

Store your helmet in a cool, dry place, away from direct sunlight or heat sources.
Avoid stacking helmets or placing heavy objects on top.
Consider using a helmet bag or dedicated shelf to prevent scratches and dents.

4. Avoid Harsh Conditions

Keep your helmet away from chemicals or extreme temperatures that could degrade materials.
Avoid excessive exposure to UV light to prevent fading and material weakening.

5. Maintenance & Replacement

Replace any damaged components promptly.
Follow NFPA guidelines and the manufacturer’s recommended service life for optimal safety.
