Dräger HPS 3500

Universal Safety Helmet for Technical Rescue and Wildland Firefighting

The Dräger HPS 3500 is a highly versatile, multifunctional protective helmet meticulously engineered to meet the demanding requirements of search and rescue teams, emergency medical services, and wildland firefighting personnel. Providing robust structural head protection without the weight of traditional structural fire helmets, this model features an advanced aerodynamic, ventilated outer shell that delivers high mechanical impact resistance and comprehensive penetration protection during complex, long-duration tactical interventions.

Optimized Ventilation System and Maximum Ergonomic Comfort

Designed to keep operational personnel cool and focused during strenuous outdoor duties, the HPS 3500 features a sealable, high-performance ventilation system. The integrated slider mechanism allows wearers to easily open or close the air vents, preventing entry of water, sparks, or airborne debris while maintaining excellent interior air circulation. The internal suspension system features a skin-friendly, flame-retardant 4-point harness with an easily accessible, external adjustment wheel that allows custom sizing for head circumferences from 52 to 64 cm, even while wearing heavy duty safety gloves.

Robust Modular Architecture for Specialized Workloads

The universal design of the Dräger HPS 3500 serves as a modular platform for various protective components. It incorporates standard connection slots to easily secure full-face polycarbonate visors, chemical splash goggles, or mesh faceguards. Furthermore, the shell geometry is optimized to accommodate ear defenders, integrated communication headsets, neck curtains, and tactical headlamps. Its premium, chemical-resistant matte finish ensures long-term resistance against aggressive fluids and environmental weathering.

Industrial Applications and Use Cases

• Wildland Firefighting: Sustained head and thermal protection during long-duration brush, forest, and vegetation firefighting.

• Technical Rescue & Extrication: High impact and puncture resistance for responders handling collapsed buildings, traffic accidents, and height rescues.

• Search and Rescue (SAR): Lightweight, non-fatiguing protection for urban and wilderness tracking, cave rescues, and disaster relief.

• Emergency Medical Services: Reliable personal protective equipment (PPE) for field paramedics operating in volatile, high-hazard zones.
