First Watch L/XL White Water Rescue Helmet

The First Watch First Responder Water Helmet is a CE EN 1385 rescue helmet in white, sized L/XL, with a high-impact ABS shell.

White is the most visible helmet color against dark water and at night under a searchlight, which is the specific job a rescue helmet color has to do. It also runs cooler in direct sun than black or red, which matters through a long incident on open water in summer.

The trade is that white shows dirt, oil and scuffs immediately where darker colors hide them, so it looks worn sooner without being any less serviceable. The high-impact ABS shell with a closed-cell EVA-molded liner absorbs impact without taking on water.

Nine ventilation vents move air and drain water, and a ratchet easy-fit system with a webbed chin cup holds the helmet through impact and current. Removable foam ear pads add comfort, and accessory side rails with an NVG or GoPro bracket carry a light or camera. Explore more marine rescue gear.
