Lightweight Carbon Fiber Hard Hats


Cap Brim—Class C	Full Brim—Class C

Full Brim—Class C (Multi-Directional Impact Protection System (MIPS))	Ratchet Adjustment

Lightweight yet strong and durable, carbon fiber hard hats protect your head and you can wear them all day. They resist heat better than HDPE hard hats, making them a good choice for foundries, refineries, and other environments with high ambient heat. These hard hats are rated Type I to protect against blows to the top of the head only. They're also designated as Class C, which means they're not tested for electrical protection. For a snug fit, turn a knob on the back of the helmet to tighten suspension. A sweatband prevents perspiration from getting into your eyes, and mounting slots allow for attachments like face shields and earmuffs.

Cap Brim—Cap brim hard hats keep the sun out of your eyes with a brim that extends out in one direction.

Full Brim—Full brim hard hats protect your head and neck from sun, rain, glare, and splashes.

Multi-Directional Impact Protection System (MIPS)—Hard hats with a Multi-Directional Impact Protection System (MIPS) help prevent brain injuries during an accident. They have a low-friction layer inside the helmet, which allows your head to shift slightly during impact. This slight shift directs rotational force away from the brain, reducing your risk of injury. They are also forged, which makes them an additional 25% lighter than woven hard hats without sacrificing safety. The chin strap keeps the hard hat securely on your head.

Foam Shell—Hard hats with a foam shell have padding that absorbs impact to reduce force on the neck and head.

Hard Hats


Cap Brim—Class C

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

Hard hats come with four- or six-point suspensions—the more suspension points, the better the hard hat distributes the force of impact.

C—Class C have not been tested for electrical protection.

Ratchet Adjustment—Ratchet suspensions adjust with an easy-turn knob.

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

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

Hard Hats for Top and Side Impacts

Protect your head 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. A foam shell helps absorb impact to reduce force on the head and neck. Tighten a knob on the back of these hard hats for a snug and comfortable fit. To prevent perspiration from getting into your eyes, all have a sweatband. Use the mounting slots to attach accessories such as earmuffs (not included).

Add a face shield (sold separately) that slides down over the full hat brim to guard your face. The toric shape of the shield closely follows the shape of your face to protect your chin and provide a wide peripheral field of vision. These shields meet ANSI Z87.1+ standards. Quickly replace the shield with the streamlined attachment system. Press-to-release slotted adapters make it easy to remove the brackets from the hard hat. Use a shade 5 welding face shield for optimal visibility and protection from harmful light and radiation.

Full Brim—Class C


	4 Suspension Points

Class C hard hats have not been tested for electrical protection. These hats have ventilation holes to keep you cool.

Chin Strap Included—Hard hats with a chin strap stay securely on your head. They’re useful for windy conditions and working at heights. They’re also good for active movement such as climbing, working sideways, and working upside down. All chin straps have a magnetic lock, so they’re easy to connect and release with one hand.

Full Brim—Class C (Koroyd)

Image of Specification. Front orientation. ZoomedIn view. Contains Annotated, Border. Ratchet Adjustment. Hard Hats for Top and Side Impacts.

Class C hard hats have not been tested for electrical protection. These hats have ventilation holes to keep you cool.

Hard hats with a Koroyd helmet safety system have a layer of small tubes that crumple upon impact to lessen blunt force to your head. Koroyd weighs less than comparable helmet safety systems because it is 95% air. Built-in padding with high-purity silver eliminates odor and bacteria, while a comfort liner helps for all-day wear. For frequent headlamp users, these hard hats have built-in strap clips that keep your lamp securely in place. An integrated TwICEme chip with near-field communication (NFC) technology helps to save lives in an accident. The chip stores emergency contacts and health information and sends your precise location to help first responders. A low profile gives these hard hats a sleek look.

Climbing-Style Hard Hats

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.

To add a face shield, earmuffs, and other accessories, use the mounting slots on the sides.

Brimless—Class C

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

Brim Grip—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.

Brimless—Class C (Multi-Directional Impact Protection System (MIPS))

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

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.

Cooling Hard Hats


	Cooling Thermal Barrier

Ratchet Adjustment

Stay cool and protect your head—a reflective barrier in these hard hats lowers the temperature by 20 degrees. A full brim runs around the hat to shield your head and neck from sun, rain, and glare. It offers 12% more coverage than the brim on a standard full brim hat, providing additional protection from the elements. A built-in sweatband keeps perspiration out of your eyes, even if you sweat.

Type I hard hats protect against blows to the top of the head only. A foam shell absorbs impact, reducing force on the neck and head. To fit the hard hat snugly to your head, turn a knob on the back that tightens the suspension. The reversible suspension lets you turn the hat around without taking it off. For example, spin the hat to move a face shield out of the way or turn the hat to fit in a tight space. You can also add attachments such as face shields or earmuffs to the mounting slots on the hat.

C—Class C hard hats have not been tested for electrical protection.

Ventilation Holes—Hard hats with ventilation holes add another way to stay cool by letting air circulate.

II—Type II, Class C hard hats protect your head from blows to the top and the sides. A foam shell absorbs impact to reduce force on your neck and head. These hard hats have chin straps, so they stay secure when working sideways, upside down, and in the wind. Designed for forestry, they have a corrosion-resistant steel mesh lens that guards the face while letting a cool wind in. They also have ventilation holes to increase air circulation and maintain a comfortable temperature. Their ratchet knob pivots to fit around ponytails and bandanas. They have not been tested for electrical protection.

Supplied-Air Helmet Respirators for Plant Air Lines

Shown with

Adhesive-Mount Helmet

Light (Sold Separately)

Protect your head, face, and breathing air from airborne hazards while you work near paint sprayers or abrasive blasters. At only 2.6 lbs., these respirators are among the lightest available. Their inner lens meets ANSI/ISEA standards for impact resistance. They connect to your facility’s air line through the rear of the helmet, so the hose (sold separately) runs straight down your back rather than pulling at your side. A ratchet suspension lets you adjust the helmet’s fit. Pair these respirators with an air filter monitor to help comply with OSHA regulations for respiratory protection.
