Innovative third generation range of 3M's pioneering and trusted First Base bump protection cap. First Base 3 takes protection, stability, comfort and wearer acceptance to unprecedented levels. First Base 3 protects the wearer from bumps and lacerations to the head in a wide range of industries and offers a choice of cap models to suit the application and budget. Head size adjustment is between 52-65cm.

The Protector FirstBase 3 is the third generation of 3M's pioneering baseball style bump protection cap, designed and approved in accordance with EN812 including A1. FirstBase 3 has been designed in partnership with some of the world's leading companies to deliver the perfect balance of comfort, protection and style; promoting the highest degree of wearer acceptance. The range encompasses a choice of three cap styles Classic, Xtra and Elite, each offering different specifications to suit all requirements.

APPLICATIONS

The FirstBase 3 bump cap range is designed to provide protection against the effects of striking the head against hard, stationary objects which can cause lacerations or other superficial injuries. Bump caps are not intended to provide protection against the effects of falling or thrown objects or suspended loads and does not offer the same protection level as an industrial safety helmet as specified in EN397. Typical applications and environments that utilise base ball style bump protection include manufacture and maintenance in the aerospace, automotive and facilities maintenance sectors, transportation and logistics workers, tradesmen working in environments without the risk of falling objects and government institutions such as the Police.

COLOUR FASTNESS

Colour fastness is a measure of how permanent a colour is on fabric. Generally the main causes of fabric fade are from washing and light degradation. When evaluating all forms of colour change a scale of 1-8 is used, '1' indicates very low colour fastness (maximum colour change) and '8' indicates very high light fastness (minimum colour change). All Firstbase 3 fabrics have been tested for colour fastness against ISO 105 and have received overall colour fastness ratings of a level 4. These ratings are in line with globally accepted colour fastness ratings for apparel in Europe, US, Canada, Australia and Japan, which require a rating of 3-4.
