Msa 454-475395 Natural Color B Hard Cap

I still say the msa skullguard is the best hard hat on the market. Unless you have to wear the type 2 hard hats with the chin strap, this is the one to buy. Lighter weight than other traditional hard hats, and it takes a beating well. Plus it looks awesome! Comes in a full brim too.

If you need a hard hat, this is the only one to buy. It's light weight and comfortable. Lucky enough not to know it's structural capability (fingers crossed it will work good) The colour is brown and " unfinished " which is fine with me because I work construction and not at a fashion show. Cough ! Other reviewers ! Cough !

So I work for a small iron working company and this is the hardhat that my boss and general foreman recommended me to buy. My boss had something fall from the rafters of this building that hit him cracked his hardhat and left him unconscious but he survived! So I mean if that isn't a recommendation I don't know what is! I like it I just wish the headgear came preinstalled because it's annoying to install and didn't really come with directions so I went over to YouTube university.. then I couldn't get the little grommets to go in so I ended up grabbing my general foreman being like here put this in!!! We always reverse the headgear.. honestly that's personal preference although it's not intended to be that way. One problem though I do notice is it likes to shift on your head where the little sliders are where you can adjust how big your head is (not the ratchet in the back but the sliders on the side also where you can control how deep your head sits). But I just kind of manhandle it until it wants to be straight on my head. Very nice ratchet for the back of it! I wish my welding head gear was that nice. Another thing I wish msa would come out with is welding gear attachments where you can attach a clear shield or welding hood to it. (although don't make it ugly like Dewalt and Milwaukee). My boss has had his same hardhat since I want to say 2018 is the stamp. Technically hardhats do expire! Four years after the stamped date (The little compass looking stamp). I tell him but his old one has memories... personally I like the forehead strap cushion because when you sweat it's easy to clean instead of foam/fabric where it gets really stinky and itchy after a while.

The lightest helmet I could find that has a decent suspension system that will lock it securely on my head. I work at heights so it's gotta be on there!! Also my neck has been injured/ herniated disc so it's gotta be light. Worth the money in my opinion: Some guys will order the Large suspension to lower where the medium sized helmet sits on your head a bit but it may violate work safety codes.

There's a reason you see these on sizable construction projects. They are a serious working tool for people who need serious head protection. Very lightweight. Very comfortable, although I may try a different Fast Trac suspension just to get a bit lower of a fit on my head. Be aware, though, that the natural tan/brown has a slight bulls-eye sort of effect where it's dipped or died or whatever coloring process is. And this slight bullseye effect is most often not centered on top of the hat. It irritated me at first, but you don't wear a hard hat for a fashion statement, and after a few scuffs or stickers, you seriously don't even notice it. A+ from MSA. I tried the Dax Lift carbon fiber helmet and it was so stinking small I sent it back. MSA offers sized helmets, which means they're serious about proper fit and safety.
