Description of Stay Protected With MSA H1 V-Gard Helmet: Fas-Trac III Ratchet Suspension, Top-Notch Impact Protection, And Comfortable Self-Adjusting Crown Straps - Standard Size In Black

HIGH QUALITY PROTECTION: V-Gard H1 Novent Safety Helmets are made with a non-contact foam liner and are made for use in electrical applications where Class E certification is needed. Comes with a premium moisture wicking sweatband with breathable foam and hook and loop attachment for easy field replacement. Made with high-density polyethylene for use in utilities, oil, gas, petrochemical, construction, and general industry. V-GARD H1 ACCESSORIES: Helmet is designed with a patent pending "push-button" accessory attachment rail and universal lightning clips for quick installation and removal, as well as a convenient rescue whistle built into the chin strap buckle. Easily attach any of the V-Gard H1 face masks, shields, or spectacles for added protection. FAS-TRAC III SUSPENSION: Designed based on opinions and input from hundreds of customers, our top-end Fas-Trac III suspension functions as an improved ratchet suspension. Flush rear lug attachments eliminate pressure points and three levels of nape strap adjustment give for a fully customized fit. Ratchet comfort pad is contoured to the back of the head, improving airflow and preventing hair-pulling. Ensure continued wear with drastically improved comfort and a graspable ratchet. VARIETY OF SIZES & COLORS: Comes available in a large variety of colors and sizes with custom imprinting and striping options. With custom logo options and any of 27+ different reflective and retro-reflective stripes, MSA gives the ultimate experience in hardhat customization. MEETS PROFESSIONAL STANDARDS: V-Gard H1 Novent Helmets meet or exceed all applicable requirements for a Type I (top impact) helmet as outlined in ANSI/ISEA Z89.1-2014 (Non-Vented Class E) and CSA Z94.1-2015 (Non-Vented Class E). These V-Gard caps have also been fully third-party tested and certified by SEI.

Not great. doesn't fit very well.

the adjustable headband seems like a good idea, but you cant really cinch it down and it rides really low. the headband actually covers my eyebrows, but the chinstrap works well.The styrofoam padding on the inside isn't very comfortable, and is firm enough to cause some irritation if you wear it for more than an hour or so.I really wanted to like this, but I am just going to stick with my regular helmet.

Pros
  • Comfortable .Nice to have a hard hat that doesn't fall off .
Cons
  • The helmet's sturdy build makes it perfect for industrial settings, but it may not be suitable for sports or recreational activities that require more freedom of movement

Good, but Disappointing

Bought this to replace an expired V-gard full brim. Loved that thing. Thought that since the previous one fit perfectly, one of these would as well. It definitely fits. The fit is actually better because the hat is slightly wider than the full brim. I love the head lamp clips as well.Got mine on sale for $40. Amazing price because the shelf life was expired. Luckily they last 5 years of use after two years of storage.My problem with this hat is the harness. It is simply unacceptable for a…

Pros
  • Great upgrade to "lowest bidder" hardhats provided by the company. Light and comfortable.
Cons
  • Limited Ventilation: The helmet's design may not provide adequate ventilation, causing discomfort and sweat buildup, particularly in hot, humid environments

Speed racer hard hat

Love my hard hat. Perfecto! Very practical with attachments. Gets a laugh or Two until they realize how practical it is.

Pros
  • Perfecto
Cons
  • Compared to some entry-level helmet options in the market, the MSA H1 V-Gard Helmet could have a higher price, making it unaffordable for some

Sits very high on the head. Looks a little weird. Extremely comfortable. Vents and helmet design really make it much cooler temperature wise that a regular hardhat. Well made, just wish it sat lower on my head.

Pros
  • Nice but not as comfortable as the Kask
Cons
  • Too Small, Tight fitting in the chinstrap. Went with KASK helmet instead. Suggest KASK for bigger heads.

Good for casual need.

Nice fit, but expensive accessories only available from MSA and no ability to add "industry standard' things like a light mount.

Pros
  • Love the color and very comfortable.
Cons
  • Limited Color Options
