PIP Traverse Non-Vented MIPS Climbing Helmet - ABS Shell, Hi-Vis Yellow, ANSI II (280-HP1491RM-44)

Overview

Meet the PIP Traverse Non-Vented MIPS climbing helmet, engineered for industrial rope access, construction, and maintenance climbs where lightweight protection matters. The shell combines a durable ABS construction with a protective liner system to help manage impact energy while keeping weight comfortable for long wears.

Technology and Construction

The helmet pairs an ultra-light ABS shell with an EPS foam impact liner. This combination is designed to absorb and dissipate forces that could occur from front, side, or rear impacts. The MIPS technology adds a low-friction layer intended to reduce rotational motion transferred to the head during angled impacts, offering an extra layer of defense without adding bulk.

• MIPS technology designed to mitigate rotational motion in angled impacts.
• Ultra-lightweight ABS shell for protection without excess weight.
• EPS foam liner to absorb impact energy across common impact zones.
• ANSI II-compliant safety standards for reliable head protection on the job.

Fit, Comfort, and Wearability

Comfort is built into the Traverse with a padded inner suspension that sits above the brow line, helping reduce fatigue during long climbs. A rugged non-slip SURE-LOCK wheel ratchet allows precise suspension adjustment, while the 4-point cross-over chin strap with a quick-release buckle ensures a secure, customizable fit for a range of head sizes.

• 4-point cross-over chin strap with quick-release buckle for a secure, adjustable fit.
• SURE-LOCK wheel ratchet provides consistent suspension performance.
• Padding above the brow line enhances comfort on extended climbs.
• Hi-Vis Yellow finish improves visibility on busy jobsites.

Use Scenarios and Benefits

Designed for industrial climbing and rope access, the Traverse helmet is a practical choice when you need dependable protection without compromising comfort or visibility. While not a medical device, the helmet’s layered protection, secure fit, and accessible adjustments may support safer, more focused work sessions in varied environments. The non-vented design can be advantageous in dusty, windy, or damp settings where airflow is less critical than maintaining a consistent protective profile.

Whether you’re working at height on construction, maintenance, or industrial projects, the Traverse aims to be a versatile, reliable companion that keeps you comfortable and visible throughout the shift.
