The dynamic retention system strength test ensures a limited amount of stretching of the chinstrap and fixings. The roll-off test applies an external dynamic force to roll the helmet off the head in a forward direction to confirm helmet retention under arduous conditions.\u003c\/li\u003e \u003cli\u003eVisor Protection and Field of Vision\u003cbr\u003eThe visor is required to have a minimum area of coverage giving protection against projectiles, solids or liquids, while maintaining a minimum field of vision. A steel ball of 6.35mm diameter is fired at the visor to the front and side at a speed of 120m\/second (approximately 270MPH). There must be no failure due to cracks or deformation enabling the visor to come in contact with the headform surface.\u003c\/li\u003e \u003cli\u003eOptical Clarity Testing\u003cbr\u003eOptical tests are carried out on the visor to ensure enough light passes through and that images are not distorted. The visor is conditioned at +50c before this test is carried out.\u003c\/li\u003e \u003cli\u003eChemical \/ Flammable Protection\u003cbr\u003eTo ensure that the helmet and visor protect the wearer against flammable liquids, the helmet is set up on a headform and a flammable solvent mixture is poured over the helmet crown, ignited and allowed to burn. There should be no flame or burning after 10 seconds, and the assembly is then inspected for any degradation or hazard to the wearer. A second test consists of applying a propane gas flame to various parts of the helmet for a period of 30 seconds. The helmet should not continue to burn for more than 5 seconds after removal of the flame.\u003c\/li\u003e \u003c\/ul\u003e \u003cp\u003e\u003cstrong\u003eMaterials\u003c\/strong\u003e\u003c\/p\u003e \u003cmeta charset=\"utf-8\"\u003e \u003cul\u003e \u003cli\u003eShell: High impact self-colored fire retardant Acrylonitrile Butadiene Styrene (ABS) Thermoplastic\u003c\/li\u003e \u003cli\u003eLiner: High density Expanded Polystyrene (EPS)\u003c\/li\u003e \u003cli\u003eCheek Pads: Fire-retardant cotton modal\u003c\/li\u003e \u003cli\u003eSizing Pads: Low density foam padding with cloth covering\u003c\/li\u003e \u003cli\u003eChin Strap: Fire-retardant Nomex\u003c\/li\u003e \u003cli\u003eChin Cup: Fire-retardant Polypropylene\u003c\/li\u003e \u003cli\u003eNeck Guard: High density foam with flame retardant PVC covering\u003c\/li\u003e \u003cli\u003eVisor: High impact optical grade polycarbonate (Optional 2mm or 3mm and anti-mist, anti-scratch coating)\u003c\/li\u003e \u003c\/ul\u003e \u003cp\u003e\u003cstrong\u003eSpec Sheet\u003c\/strong\u003e\u003c\/p\u003e \u003cp\u003eDownload Spec Sheet \u003ca href=\"https:\/\/shop.gentexcorp.com\/content\/Argus-017-Public-Order-Helmet.pdf\" title=\"Argus Riot Helmet Australia Spec Sheet\"\u003eclick here\u003c\/a\u003e \u003c\/p\u003e","brand":"Argus","offers":[{"title":"Size 00 (50-51cm) \/ Blue \/ No Decal","offer_id":41654696673357,"sku":"AR03042","price":1082.0,"currency_code":"NZD","in_stock":false},{"title":"Size 0 (52-53cm) \/ Blue \/ No Decal","offer_id":41654696706125,"sku":"AR03043","price":1082.0,"currency_code":"NZD","in_stock":false},{"title":"Size 1 (54-55cm) \/ Blue \/ No Decal","offer_id":41654696738893,"sku":"AR03044","price":1082.0,"currency_code":"NZD","in_stock":false},{"title":"Size 2 (56-57cm) \/ Blue \/ No Decal","offer_id":41654696771661,"sku":"AR03045","price":1082.0,"currency_code":"NZD","in_stock":false},{"title":"Size 3 (58-59cm) \/ Blue \/ No Decal","offer_id":41654696804429,"sku":"AR03046","price":1082.0,"currency_code":"NZD","in_stock":false},{"title":"Size 4 (60-61cm) \/ Blue \/ No Decal","offer_id":41654696837197,"sku":"AR03047","price":1082.0,"currency_code":"NZD","in_stock":false},{"title":"Size 5 (62-63cm) \/ Blue \/ No Decal","offer_id":41654696869965,"sku":"AR03048","price":1082.0,"currency_code":"NZD","in_stock":false}],"thumbnail_url":"\/\/cdn.shopify.com\/s\/files\/1\/0621\/6853\/1021\/files\/gentex-argus-public-order-anti-riot-helmet-017t-3mm-visor-navy-no-decal-outdoor-tactical-australia.jpg?v=1752284442","url":"https:\/\/outdoortactical.co.nz\/products\/gentex-argus-public-order-anti-riot-helmet-017t-3mm-visor-navy-no-decal","provider":"Outdoor Tactical Australia","version":"1.0","type":"link"}
