This helmet would be great if it weren't for...

I have worn a 3M helmet for many years. When it became clear that a certain job required me to wear a visor on my hard hat, I was thrilled that 3M was making this style of hat. I ordered a cap and visor only to find that you need to purchase the mounting hardware which only comes in a 5 pack for a lot of money. It took a lot of research on the 3M website, which by the way is terrible, to find these mounting parts. It took a YouTube video to find the part number for the brackets. At that point I

Pros
  • CUSTOMIZED FIT: The slim, easy-to-rotate 6-point ratchet strap sits low on the head and allows the wearer to adjust height and fit.
Cons

Must have a small head to fit properly.

This helmet is either for women or just for small heads. There was no size listed in the item description so I assumed 3M made this helmet adjustable to any size. I was very wrong. It allows only minor height adjustments. The width of the helmet fits, but god forbid if you have a narrow head. I've never been ridiculed for having a big narrow head in my entire life and I'm pretty sure I'm fine. And my friends can be pretty ruthless when it comes to ugliness. So don't buy this if you're looking…

Pros
  • For industrial/professional use only. Not for sale or use by consumers.
Cons
  • Slightly wrinkled

As I read many reviews before choosing this helmet, it sits high on the head. After you receive and try it on, yes, it sits very high on your head. I'm pretty sure I set it to the lowest value. It looks stupid that high on your head. Maybe it's the shape of some heads? I am not sure. I'm sending it back, I can't wear it without feeling like a clown. Also, I was frustrated that I also bought the visor that came with it, but when I received it it didn't have mounts to attach it to. Helmet…

Pros
  • SLIDING HELMET INSPIRED DESIGN: Provides comfort and safety for workers in construction, manufacturing, telecom, wind power, oil & gas, forestry or any commercial sector working at height.
