Båstadgruppen introduces Guardio Armet Pro Connected: “The smart safety helmet taking head protection to the next level”  

Båstadgruppen proudly presents the Guardio Armet Pro Connected, a new generation of smart safety helmets designed to meet higher standards of protection and comfort than ever before. Combining innovative technology with advanced safety features, this helmet sets a new benchmark for head protection. 

 

“With the Guardio Armet Pro Connected, we’re taking a major leap forward in head protection and workplace safety. The combination of Mips® technology, developed to help reduce rotational motion to the head during certain angled impacts, the Quin Smart Sensor, and an innovative design make this more than just a helmet. What we’re introducing is a complete safety system,” says Nawar Toma, Category Manager at GuardioBåstadgruppen. 

Next-level head protection with new safety features 

The Guardio Armet Pro Connected is certified according to the latest EN397:2025 Type II standard. It features the Mips® Brain Protection System for Industrial Safety Helmets, which is designed to help reduce rotational motion, and thereby the risk of brain injuries, in certain angled impacts, and Quin Pod Intelligent Safety technology that automatically detects incidents and sends alerts. 

 

“If an accident occurs, the Guardio Armet Pro Connected can significantly shorten emergency response times by enabling direct contact with emergency services or coworkers. The helmet also registers minor impacts that may go unnoticed by the user but could, over time, pose health risks.” 

 

Intelligent, fully integrated safety technology such as Quin Pod and Quin Tag digital medical ID make the Armet Pro Connected unique in the market. The Connected system offers automatic incident detection, instant alerts, integration with emergency services, a digital medical ID, and temperature monitoring that warns users of heat-related risks. 

Guardio Armet Pro Connected: "The data-driven, digital lifeline of the future" 

Because the Guardio Armet Pro Connected detects impacts, it can help the user determine when it is time to replace the helmet.  
"Today, helmets are often used long after the recommended lifespan. We want to help avoid the guessing game. With Guardio Armet Pro Connected , the main security becomes data-driven for real, says Nawar Toma, Category Manager at Guardio, Båstadgruppen.
