first base 3 BUMP PROTECTION
First Base A REVOLUTION IN BUMP PROTECTION. In 1997, following extensive customer research, industry pioneers Scott Safety introduced the original baseball style bump protection solution, First Base. Bump protection evolved again in 2003 with the launch of First Base+ as further research determined the need for improved aesthetics and comfort levels. Today, the new First Base 3 provides unprecedented levels of fit and comfort, taking stability, protection and wearer acceptance to new levels. At the core of the First Base 3 revolution is the unique, patented shell designs, ergonomically shaped for comfort and protection. The shells are complemented by a range of stylish and durable fabrics to suit any need. Comfort Delivered by the patented, highly breathable, micro perforated shell with indirect top ventilation system and humidity reducing, hypoallergenic fabrics with advanced wicking fabric sweatband to draw moisture away from the skin. Stability The adaptive shell design contours uniquely around the head for a stable, individual and comfortable fit. The elasticated adjustment strap positions beneath the occipital bone for increased stability. Protection The unique shell designs deliver optimum protection and are shaped over the ear to provide enhanced compatibility with other forms of PPE. Style Stylish aesthetics ensure wearer acceptance. 3 SOLUTIONS to suit all needs CLASSIC Timeless lightweight cap with Microfibre fabric and flexible shell design XTRA Traditional durable cap with Polyester/Cotton fabric and full shell design ELITE Modern dual colour Microfibre cap with enhanced visibility and flexible shell design 2
