PF 1000 Extreme

High-performance protective helmet
The PF 1000 EXTREME is setting completely new standards in the fire fighting helmet Type B segment. In spite of its high degree of functionality the helmet is one of the slimmest and most aesthetic ones presently available on the market, and will certainly find many enthusiastic customers and users. The matching shapes of helmet, multi-functional adapter and the large-scale panoramic visor are striking, and the latter can be completely retracted and providing damage protection. Additionally, it is large enough to fit on top of all commonly and currently used respirators – an unbeatable advantage. Considering the interior innovations, too, the PF 1000 EXTREME presents itself inside and outside as a reliable and modern head protection device which meets the users‘ requirements in each (dangerous) situation.

PF 112 Extreme

high-performance protective helmet

The PF 112 Extreme high-performance protective helmet from CASCO provides optimal protection and wearing comfort for every act of service.

While the shape of the PF 112 Extreme is a long-term success story in the Type A segment, the interior is constantly advancing and progressing: an extensive endurance test inside the IFRT fire test container (International Fire & Rescue Training) proved that the PF 112 Extreme justifies its name by withstanding even most extreme conditions. As instructors‘ equipment it had been exposed to stresses far beyond real-life effects and ,thus, could bring all its strong points to bear even more! Stefan Feucht, beside Björn Bäuerle co-owner of IFRT, states: „Our experience of these helmets has always been very good and we will definitely continue to support this product line. Furthermore, from the customer’s point of view we consider the CASCO PF112 Extreme to provide a superb value-for-money.“
