Hard-Hat Sun Shields

Sun Shield (Hard Hat Sold Separately)

With Collapsible Neck Shade Shown Rolled Up (Hard Hat Sold Separately)

Protect your neck and face from the sun's rays. These sun shields are made of lightweight polyester, so they won’t weigh you down. An inner elastic rim fits over most hard hats.

Sun shields with a 50 UPF block 98% of the sun's UV rays. Roll up and secure the neck shade when you don't need the coverage and would prefer the extra airflow. The underside of the brim is dark to reduce the sun's glare, so you're not squinting in bright light.

Hard-Hat Cooling Pads

Keep a cool head when you’re wearing a hard hat. These cooling pads attach to a hard-hat suspension with hook and loop straps.

Pads with arc-flash protection minimize burns from sudden electrical flashes. These pads meet NFPA 70E standards for protecting against electrical arc flashes. Choose a cooling pad that meets the arc rated personal protective equipment (PPE) category required by your workplace.

Pads with neck coverage give you extra protection from the sun.

PET pads can be soaked in cold water for 1-3 minutes to cool you for your entire shift. They’re machine washable. Cotton pads have crystals that absorb water to relieve heat using evaporation. Soak them in cold water for 15-20 minutes to keep you cool for 4 hours. Polyester pads only require you to run water over them for about a minute to keep you cool for 4 hours. They’re fluorescent yellow, so you’re easy to spot in all lighting conditions. Machine wash them when necessary.
