Protective industrial helmets, or hard hats, are always visible on the job site, particularly where falling hazards exist. Other personal protection can easily be attached to the hard hat to protect the face and ears.
V-Gard Protective Caps and Hats from MSA consist of a polyethylene shell and suspension sytem working together as a protection system. V-Gard headwear features advanced styling in either cap or hat styles, with the cap available in three sizes: Small (6-71/8), Standard (61/2 - 8 ) and Large (7-8 1/2).
V-Gard Caps and Hats meet or exceed the applicable requirements for a Type I helmet (top impact) as outlined in ANSI Z89.1-2003, Class E, and also as outlined in CSA Z94.1-2005 (Class E) with 1-Touch and Fas-Trac suspensions.
V-Gard Caps and Hats are not specifically designed to protect against lateral blows from the front, side or rear. MSA's Vanguard II Protective Helmets are so designed and must be used if lateral protection is used.
