Weight-Compensating Slotted Face Shield Bracket (2-Pack)
This is the replacement weight-compensating face shield bracket for Malta Dynamics APEX safety helmets. The weight-compensating design centers the face shield in the stowed position, so the visor sits balanced and compact instead of pulling the helmet forward. It is the go-to bracket when an original needs replacing or when a crew is building out a fresh APEX face shield setup.
The LeverLock attachment system swaps face shield windows tool-free, and press-to-release slotted cap adapters let the bracket come off the helmet in seconds. The blue nylon bracket meets ANSI Z87.1 and ships as a two-pack so you can re-equip more than one helmet at once.

Who Needs This Product
This bracket is for crews who use Malta Dynamics APEX slotted-cap safety helmets and need a replacement face-shield bracket, or who are setting up a new toric face-shield system. It is the mounting hardware only - the toric face shield window is purchased separately. The two-pack lets a crew re-equip multiple helmets in one order. Workers must still wear ANSI Z87.1-approved safety glasses or goggles under the face shield for primary eye protection.

The bracket is the carrier, not the shield. This product is the mounting bracket only - the toric face shield window is sold separately. A face shield is also secondary protection: always wear ANSI Z87.1-approved safety glasses or goggles under the visor. Confirm your helmet is a Malta Dynamics APEX slotted cap helmet before ordering.
Compliance Standards
ANSI Z87.1
Occupational eye and face protection. The bracket is rated to ANSI Z87.1 as part of the APEX face shield assembly.

Construction head protection requirements for workers exposed to impact and splash hazards.
OSHA 29 CFR 1910.135

APEX helmet system

Typical Applications
Setup Overview
Install per the Malta Dynamics instructions. The sequence below is an overview only.
- Confirm the helmet. Verify that the helmet is a Malta Dynamics APEX slotted-cap safety helmet.
- Mount the bracket. Seat the slotted cap adapters into the helmet until they lock.
- Install the window. Snap a Malta Dynamics toric face shield window into the LeverLock pattern - clear or Shade 5 green.
- Wear eye protection. Put on ANSI Z87.1-approved safety glasses or goggles under the face shield.

Inspection and Care
Inspect the bracket and window before each use. Remove from service for any of the conditions below.
- Bracket: cracks, broken LeverLock tabs, or slotted cap adapters that no longer lock.
- Pivot: a stow position that no longer holds the shield balanced and clear.
- Window: cracks, deep scratches, crazing, or heat distortion that blocks vision.
- Helmet: any APEX helmet damage - replace the helmet per its own inspection schedule.
Clean with mild soap and water. Avoid solvents that can craze the window. Store away from direct heat and sunlight.
