Hard Hats

These Type I hard hats protect against blows from falling objects to the top of the head only.

Class E hard hats are proof-tested at 20,000 volts. Class C have not been tested for electrical protection.

Hard hats with a three-point chin strap stay securely on your head. They’re often worn at heights and in windy conditions, and during active movement such as climbing, working sideways, and working upside down. These hard hats have a foam shell that absorbs impact to reduce force on the neck and head.

Hard hats with ventilation holes have slots that increase air circulation to keep you cool.

Hard hats with reversible suspension can be worn backward without removing and reinstalling the suspension—just swing it to the opposite side.

Hard hats with a rain-trough brim have a rear gutter that channels water away from your neck.

Hard hats with a full brim have a wide front-to-back brim that provides added protection against sun, glare, splash, and rain.

Hard hats with mounting slots attach to face shields and earmuffs (not included).

Hard hats come with four-, six-, or eight-point suspensions—the more suspension points, the better the hard hat distributes the force of impact. Pinlock suspensions adjust with interlocking straps. Ratchet suspensions adjust with an easy-turn knob.

Heat-Resistant Hard Hats

Made from a material similar to that used in firefighters' helmets.

Hard hats are Type I, Class E, meaning they protect against blows to the top of the head only and are proof-tested at 20,000 volts.

Pinlock suspensions adjust with interlocking straps. Ratchet suspensions adjust with an easy-turn knob.

Hard Hats for Top and Side Impacts

Hard Hat

Four-Point Suspension

Hard Hat with Chin Strap

Eight-Point Suspension

For protection from more than just falling objects, these hard hats are rated ANSI/ISEA Z89.1, Type II to deflect both top and off-center blows to the head. They’re also classified as Class E, which means they are tested at 20,000 volts for electrical insulation. To prevent perspiration from getting into your eyes, all have a sweatband. Use the mounting slots to attach face shields and earmuffs (not included).

Hard hats come with four- or eight-point suspensions—the more suspension points, the better the hard hat distributes the force of impact. For comfort and a secure fit, adjust the ratchet suspensions with an easy-to-turn knob.

Hard hats with a two-point chin strap stay securely on your head. They’re useful for windy conditions and working at heights.

Hard hats with a three-point chin strap are more secure than hard hats with a two-point chin strap. They’re good for active movement such as climbing, working sideways, and working upside down.

Hard Hats with Face Shield

The fully retractable face shield provides protection against dust and spray and fits over prescription glasses.

Hard hats are Type I, Class E, meaning they protect against blows to the top of the head only and are proof-tested at 20,000 volts. All have a ratchet suspension that adjusts with an easy-turn knob and mounting slots to attach earmuffs (not included).
