The skull is one very important part of the body because it protects the brain from any external shocks. And for us to ensure more protection, depending on our location or activity at any given time, we must have on our heads extra protective gears. For those of us who visit construction sites, cycle, ride motorbikes, are rock climbers etc.
In this blog I will talk about various activities, locations and what kind of protective head gears are best suited for each.

Bump caps are best suited for electricians, those of us visiting construction sites etc. It has the capability to protect your head from any impact or external shocks.

Motorbike Helmets
For the lovers of speed bikes, sport bikes or generally motorbikes a helmet is a necessity. To avoid severe injuries of the head, wearing a helmet is key. Not only the riders but also the pillion.

Firefighter Helmets
A building on fire will be reduced to small pieces and often there will be things falling off. This is why firefighters always have their firefighter helmets on, to protect their skulls from falling blocks or stones and also from the high temperatures.
Baby Head Guard
Well we must also factor in the young ones in this head protection topic. A baby is not always aware of what risk he/she might be putting him/herself into. And therefore a baby head guard is very important.
They might bump their heads during a fall or even while crawling hit their heads on a furniture.
A baby’s skull is still in a developmental stage and therefore might not be able to protect the brain from even the slightest impact.
