SAFETY

LIGHTWEIGHT.MULTI-PURPOSE.DURABLE

One helmet platform. Endless configurations. The ATR’s modularity and task-specific adaptability make it the top choice for fire and emergency services across all scenarios — except structural firefighting.

Protection – Superior protection against penetration and high level of shock absorption, delivered by a uniquely engineered carbon-fiber reinforced duroplast shell.


Unparalleled fit – Three shell sizes ensure a precise, secure fit for head sizes from 48 to 66 cm / 19 to 26 in.


Modularity – An integrated rail system, Universal Head Lamp Mount (USH) and G-Hooks give you virtually unlimited accessory options.

Visibility – Retro-reflective stickers ensure you are seen in even the most extreme conditions.


Integration – An ecosystem of accessories lets you tailor the helmet precisely to your mission requirements.


Comfort – An advanced impact padding system with comfort cushions, 4-point harness system with a wheel dial and a total weight of max. 720g keep you focused on the mission, not your helmet.

Multi-certified. Like no other helmet.

The ATR-1 meets the most important standards and certifications required by fire services, emergency medical services, disaster response, and civil protection worldwide.

High/low angle rescue
EN 12492:2012 – Helmets for Mountain Rescue and Work at Heights

The ATR-1 is certified to EN 12492 — the benchmark standard for mountaineering and height safety. Whether in mountain rescue or work at heights, every second counts. Our helmet performs reliably when it matters most: falls, falling objects, and mechanical impact.

Technical rescue
EN 16473:2014 – Firefighting Helmets for Technical Rescue

EN 16473 is the defining standard for technical rescue helmets, covering protection against electrical, mechanical, chemical, and thermal hazards. The ATR-1 is fully certified to this standard, delivering reliable protection across the full spectrum of demanding scenarios — from traffic accidents to search and rescue operations and technical assistance.
Thanks to its low weight and well-designed ventilation, it stays comfortable even during the longest deployments.

Wildland firefighting
EN 16471:2014 / ISO 16073:2011 – Wildland Firefighting

Wildland and vegetation firefighting exposes crews to sparks, flying particles, radiant heat, and dropping vegetation — constantly and without warning. EN 16471 and ISO 16073:2011 set the benchmark for helmet protection in these environments, balancing safety with thermal comfort and minimizing physical strain during extended operations.
Certified to ISO 16073:2011, the ATR-1 delivers reliable protection in wildland fire scenarios while staying lightweight, comfortable, and secure — even deep into a long shift.

Urban Search and Rescue
ISO 18639-5:2018 – Helmets for Special Rescue Operations

From traffic accidents to earthquake response and urban search and rescue, special rescue operations demand helmets that can handle structural collapse, heavy debris, and unpredictable environments. ISO 18639-5 sets the minimum requirements for exactly these scenarios.
The ATR-1 is fully certified to ISO 18639-5 — making it a proven choice for technical rescue teams operating at traffic incidents or inside collapsed structures. Lightweight, robust, and built for extended wear, it delivers full protection without ever getting in the way.

Water rescue
EN 1385:2012 – Helmets for canoeing and whitewater sports

This norm defines requirements for helmets used in whitewater scenarios. Originally developed for canoeing, the standard is now also widely applied in water rescue. It ensures that helmets provide reliable protection in extreme water conditions and remain securely fastened on the head.

kwf
Forestry & Arboriculture

The KWF seal identifies products tested by the Board for Forest Work and Forestry Technology (KWF – Kuratorium für Waldarbeit und Forsttechnik e.V. ). The testing of the organisation is independent, practice-oriented, and focused on safety, ergonomics, and quality. A KWF seal confirms quality beyond basic standard requirements. Products bearing the KWF comfort seal offer high wearing comfort and reliable performance – safety you can feel.

UIAA – Additional safety for operations in extreme conditions

The UIAA safety label is a clear indicator of maximum protection. A UIAA safety label on a product means that samples of the equipment have been tested by an accredited, independent third party. Helmets carrying the UIAA safety label are well suited for rescue operations that demand the highest level of PPE safety.
