Safety helmet producer Kask America recently launched its new Zenith X2 Max helmets.
The company will showcase its products at the 2025 Safety Congress & Exposition in booth 548.
The show is being hosted by The National Safety Council (NSC) Sept. 15-17 at the Colorado Convention Center in Denver, Colorado.
Based in Italy, Kask specializes in designing, developing, and manufacturing safety helmets for sporting and occupational safety applications.
Kask said traditional head protection maxes out at 24.8 inches (63 centimeters), leaving many workers without a comfortable fit.
Kask designed the X2 Max to ensure comfort and safety for a wider range of head sizes, accommodating longer faces and worker head sizes up between 23.6 and 26 inches (60 to 66 centimeters).
The X2 is designed with the same KASK protection while providing even more comfort. It’s made with a longer chinstrap along with larger internal and external shells, offering all-around protection against impact and penetration including front, rear, and sides.
Features include:
A sizing guide is available for the entire Zenith X2 series.
The Zenith X2 Max is part of Kask’s ANSI collection - meeting ANSI Z89.1 Type I and Type II standards - and includes ventilated (Air) and high-visibility options.
The FR version is also part of Kask’s Utilities collection, combining features and safety accessories for workers in industries that maintain infrastructure. This arc-rated equipment can help protect utility and electrical workers from electrical hazards and flames:
Kask also offers Nomex Kevlar sun shields and neck protectors - which are flame and fire resistant, non melting, and self extinguishing - tested to ASTM F1959-05, IEC 61482/1, with an ATPV of 22.2 cal/cm2.
Additional FR accessories include the ATPV10 and ATPV27 Ergo full face protection visors tested to ASTM F2178-12 standards. These shields enable wearers to work or be in the vicinity of live parts with arc protection up to 10 and 27 cal/cm2, respectively.
All X2 Max helmets are high temperature-low temperature (HT-LT) performance rated. Most are Class E rated to provide dielectric protection against up to 20,000 volts - making them suitable for utility and electrical workers. Ventilated Air versions are Class C rated or conductive, which do not provide protection against electrical hazards.
Every helmet Kask produces is tested for rotational impact performance, meeting its WG11 internal testing standard.
