Innovating Above-the-Neck Protection for Industrial Athletes
TUDSON is on a mission to deliver the most advanced abovethe-neck
protection available, prioritizing the safety of lives and
livelihoods. Its revolutionary SHK-1 safety helmet series meets
the American National Standards Institute (ANSI) Z89.1 Type I and Type
II safety standards, designed to reduce impact force from all lateral
sides of the head including the top. Using technology first adopted in
action sports, these helmets aim to prevent traumatic brain injuries
(TBIs), providing enhanced protection for those on the job.
Since its launch in 2019, STUDSON has set a new standard in
the industrial safety market by bringing innovative above-the-neck
protection from the world of action sports into sectors like construction,
oil and gas, manufacturing, and more. Recognizing that workers in
these physically demanding fields are similar to athletes, STUDSON is
committed to developing equipment that ensures workers are protected
while completing the often strenuous tasks their jobs require.
INDUSTRIAL ATHLETES
STUDSON's focus on safety extends beyond mere protection; the
company is also dedicated to elevating the status of tradespeople.
These individuals work in challenging conditions and perform
physically demanding tasks that support critical infrastructure.
STUDSON's mission is to shift perceptions around industrial workers
by positioning them as the " industrial athletes " they are, deserving of
PPE that not only keeps them safe but also offers style, comfort, and
a sense of empowerment.
When Type II safety helmets first entered the market, " climbingstyle
helmets " were among the first available options. For many
seasoned tradespeople, however, these helmets offered a new look
that differed from the traditional hard hat-a piece of equipment
deeply ingrained in the identity of the trade. This shift introduced a
fresh option for safety, but some workers felt a stronger connection
to the familiar style of the classic hard hat. In response, STUDSON
developed the SHK-1 full-brim helmet, a breakthrough innovation in
head protection that combines state-of-the-art safety features with
the aesthetic and symbolic qualities workers seek. The result was
overwhelmingly positive, with workers feeling not only protected but
also seen and valued.
STUDSON's SHK-1 helmet series integrates features that make
it both safe and suitable for extended wear, catering to the needs of
those who work long hours in rigorous environments. By focusing on
high-performance components traditionally used in action sports,
STUDSON has created helmets that are cool, athletic, and ready for
any challenge. If a helmet is comfortable and looks good, workers are
more likely to wear it consistently.

HIGH TECH
These helmets also offer increased impact protection through
incorporated technology partners. These partners include Koroyd,
providing welded-tube polymers that dissipate impact forces more
effectively, and TwiceMe, whose NFC technology replaces traditional
emergency information methods by storing medical data directly on
the helmet. Additionally, much like action sports helmets, these newgeneration
Type II helmets feature replaceable, washable pad sets,
enhancing comfort and offering a more hygienic experience.
Beyond head protection, STUDSON helmets are equipped to
accommodate ear and eye protection, ensuring that workers have
access to comprehensive, adaptable PPE solutions. Each piece of
equipment is crafted to work in harmony with the helmet, making it
easier for workers to stay safe without compromising on functionality
or comfort.
STUDSON has also sought to address a common issue with traditional
helmet designs. Many conventional helmets rely on basic chin straps,
which can lead to poor fit and discomfort over time. To counter this,
STUDSON partnered with HighBar to develop an innovative chinstrap
system that allows for easy, one-handed adjustments, ensuring a
secure, comfortable fit that supports workers throughout their shifts.
Through its commitment to developing and evolving PPE for industrial
athletes, STUDSON is transforming the role of personal protective
equipment. By combining state-of-the-art technology, industry-inspired
design, and a focus on the unique needs of the industrial workforce,
STUDSON empowers workers to feel protected, valued, and ready to
take on the challenges of their demanding roles.
