Case studies
Visors with detail

Our customer, a European helmet manufacturer, wanted to ensure its helmets were compatible with a specific make of gas mask as part of an important tender. There was one problem, however: with the gas mask in place, the visor no longer sat sufficiently snug in the helmet.

The customer sent a handful of the helmets and gas masks in question to Zweko Optics. Based on this sample, we formed several prototypes, which we subsequently fine-tuned during a meeting at our production site. As a result, the customer was able to respond to an attractive tender in just a matter of weeks, while expanding its product portfolio at the same time.

The visor we produced has an unusual shape on the sides. This large deformation is made possible by the combination of our unique forming process and our thermoformable, abrasion and fog-resistant ViewTec™ coatings. The visor offers a snug fit with the helmet and gas mask, with a minimal opening for the clips on the gas mask. 

The tendering authority eventually selected our solution, and the visor has since entered production.
