Advanced protection powered by smart technology to reduce risk and support safer decision-making

In the real world, no two jobsites are alike. One moment you’re climbing a ladder, the next you’re standing in direct sun or working at height in unpredictable conditions. Since safety helmets first appeared in 1919, workers have essentially had one style to rely on: one brim, one configuration, expected to perform in every task and environment.

It’s time to rethink head protection. The New RZRBack™ from PIP delivers modern, jobsite-ready protection with a removable brim that adapts to the task. In tight spaces where fixed brims can snag or obstruct movement, the brim removes in seconds. Therefore, improving mobility, comfort, and safety without switching gear. Smarter protection, built for how construction crews really work.

RZRBack™: Protection That Adapts to the Job

Made in Canada, RZRBack™ is the first CSA certified helmet with a patent pending removable full brim, giving workers the flexibility to adapt in seconds, no tools required. One helmet easily converts to handle sun, rain, and debris with two interchangeable brim options (narrow or traditional wide), available in a wide range of colours, including high visibility options for jobsite safety.

Designed for the realities of the workday, both brim styles attach securely with integrated clips and integrate seamlessly with essential PPE - ear protection, safety goggles, welding shields, and more, so crews can build a complete protection system without sacrificing comfort, fit, or performance.

Multi-directional Impact Protection System (Mips®)

RZRBack™ is available in both CSA Type 1 and Type 2 configurations, delivering certified protection for vertical and off-centre impacts. Select Type 2 models feature the Mips® brain protection system - the first time Mips® has been offered in a CSA certified safety helmet.

Why it matters on the jobsite: industry data shows that slips, trips, and falls are among the most frequent causes of workplace concussions and TBIs, often involving angled impacts that introduce rotational forces. Mips® adds a low friction layer that allows 10–15 mm of relative movement during impact, helping reduce the rotational motion transferred to the brain. See Mips® in action: Watch Video

Smarter Safety with Quin Medical ID Tag

On Mips® equipped models, RZRBack™ includes Quin Tag technology, turning the helmet into a digital lifeline. A simple smartphone tap gives first responders instant access to critical medical information and automatically alerts chosen contacts and services, with no batteries or subscriptions required.

Optimized for Real World Comfort and Wearability

Long shifts demand gear that works with you. RZRBack™ delivers comfort, protection, and performance that help you stay focused on the job:

  • Lightweight PC/ABS shell reduces neck strain so you can work longer with less fatigue, without compromising durability
  • Optional dual vented airflow system enhances cooling to keep you comfortable in hot or high activity environments
  • Hypoallergenic bamboo fiber sweatband and head pad wick moisture and stay gentle on skin for all day wear
  • Secure chin strap design helps keep the helmet properly positioned during sudden movement or a fall, reducing shifting at impact
  • Magnetic closure chin strap and SureLock ratchet allows fast, easy adjustments, even while wearing gloves
  • Complete accessory ecosystem supports welding, grinding, forestry, hearing protection, sun coverage, and more, so your helmet adapts to your job

Built in Canada, Built for Canada

From its CSA certified construction to its Canadian manufacturing, RZRBack™ is built with the same mindset workers bring to the job every day: make it right, make it last, and make it work wherever you go. RZRBack™ doesn’t just protect heads - it enhances the way we work.
