Impact caps, which are locked in position inside the fire helmet shell, are made of an impact-resistant
polymer liner covered by a rigid-cell, high-temperature, energy-absorbing urethane foam to supply
both impact and thermal protection. To clean the inside of the impact cap (in position inside the fire
helmet shell), wipe it with a soft sponge or cloth dampened with a solution of warm water and mild
detergent.
