MSA V-Gard 500 Hard Hat
The MSA V-Gard 500 is a Type 1, Class C polyethylene hard hat designed for front-brim head protection. It features a six-point ratchet suspension system that adjusts to fit head sizes from 6-1/2 to 8. Side accessory slots allow attachment of compatible face shields or hearing protection. The shell includes venting for improved airflow during extended wear.
Suited for general worksite head protection
This hard hat suits workers needing ANSI Type 1 impact protection with a secure ratchet fit and front brim shade. It is not for buyers who require Class E or Class G electrical insulation. It is not for users who need high-visibility colour options or integrated graphics. It is not for applications demanding a full-brim design for all-around sun and rain runoff.
Six-point ratchet suspension adjustment
The six-point ratchet suspension provides a precise, tool-free fit across the 6-1/2 to 8 size range. This mechanism distributes weight evenly at 0.77 lb for reduced pressure points during long shifts. Reverse donning capability allows the hat to be worn backwards when job tasks require it. The compatible replacement suspension carries manufacturer part number 10153382.
