Revolutionizing Heat Protection on Worksites

As the temperatures soar and heat stress becomes an increasingly serious concern, the Japanese company Jutoku has stepped up to introduce a groundbreaking solution: the Breeze Duct A (Advance). Launching in April 2026, this innovative product is designed to tackle the critical challenge of heat-related illnesses in the workplace, especially in sectors where helmet usage is mandatory such as construction, security, logistics, manufacturing, and power communications.

The Need for Effective Heat Mitigation

Recent statistics indicate a alarming rise in heatstroke incidents, with emergency transports in Japan reaching a staggering 97,578 people in 2024, 10% of which occurred at workplaces. In environments where helmets are required, trapped heat and moisture pose severe risks to workers’ health. Especially in construction, where 36.7% of the workforce is over 55 years old, addressing heat stress has become an urgent issue. The new labor safety regulations established in 2025 impose obligatory measures for preventing heat-related complications, highlighting the necessity of innovative approaches.

The Breeze Duct A: Key Features

The Breeze Duct A offers multiple enhancements based on feedback from existing users of previous models. Here’s how it stands out:

1. Effective Cooling: The product reduces helmet internal temperature by approximately 6°C compared to standard conditions by channeling the airflow from cooling garments through a specialized duct. This continuous ventilation prevents moisture build-up, ensuring comfortable and safe working conditions.

2. Heat-Blocking Fabric: Constructed from titanium-coated material, the helmet effectively blocks direct sunlight and, when combined with airflow, reduces heat stress around the neck and back of the head.

3. Cost-Effective and Easy Integration: The Breeze Duct A attaches to existing cooling garments without the need for additional power sources, minimizing associated costs. Its simplicity ensures low maintenance without mechanical parts, leading to reduced risk of malfunction and promoting economic efficiency.

4. Safety-Centric Design: The design allows for unobstructed hearing so that workers can hear crucial commands and sounds from their environment without the interference of whirring fans, enhancing workplace safety.

Improvements Informed by User Feedback

In response to reevaluations from past customers, the Breeze Duct A brings several critical updates:

• - Removed black components that attracted bees, significantly reducing stinging risks.
• - Adjusted the design of the duct’s ‘tail’ to prevent any obstruction of sound from the surroundings, ensuring communication isn’t compromised.
• - Modified the duct structure to enhance neck mobility, providing a more comfortable silhouette for prolonged use.
• - Enlarged air passage openings to boost airflow and enhance cooling experiences.

Patent-Pending Technology

The Breeze Duct series stands out with its patented system that channels airflow through a tubular structure aligned with the neckline of the user, ensuring an effective distribution of cool air into the helmet. This innovative design eliminates the need for electrical components, achieving consistent ventilation and addressing user comfort effortlessly.

Diverse Applicable Industries

The Breeze Duct A is suitable for various high-risk workplaces, such as:

• - Security: Traffic and construction site monitoring.
• - Construction: Heights and demolitions.
• - Logistics: Outdoor loading and forklift operations.
