With a low profile, these hard hats give close-fitting protection to your head in confined spaces. They don’t have a brim, so you can see what’s above you and avoid snagging on climbing gear. Chin straps hold these hard hats in place when working in strong wind, upside down, and sideways. 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. Made of ABS plastic, they resist impacts better than standard hard hats. A foam shell reduces the force on the head and neck during impact by absorbing the force.

A sweatband keeps perspiration out of your eyes, and the padding has high-purity silver embedded in it to resist odor. To add a face shield, earmuffs, and other accessories, use the mounting slots on the sides.

Class C hard hats have not been tested for electrical protection. They have ventilation holes that increase air flow to keep you cool.

Class E hard hats insulate from electrical shocks and are often used near overhead power lines and high-voltage equipment. They’re tested at 20,000 volts.

Hard hats with MIPS (multi-directional impact protection system) provide more protection to your brain than standard climbing-style hard hats. A low-friction layer inside the helmet allows your head to shift slightly during an impact. This shift directs rotational force away from the brain, so it causes less damage. These hard hats also have clamps for headlamp straps.

Hard hats with brim grip can be securely grasped by the back while wearing gloves. These hard hats also have a magnetic clasp, so you can connect and release the straps with one hand.
