What standards does the Team Wendy Backcountry helmet meet?
The SAR Backcountry meets the requirements of BS EN 12492:2012 standard for mountaineering helmets, BS EN 1385:2012 for whitewater helmets, and has additional off-crown impact protection meeting the European standard en 14052:2012 for high-performance industrial helmets.
Is the chinstrap on the SAR Backcountry helmet EN 14052 certified?
No, the EXFIL® SAR is not fully certified to BS EN 14052:2012 due to more rigorous chinstrap requirements of the BS EN 12492:2012 standard, which reduces the risk of losing the helmet during a fall.
