MSA V-Gard Full Brim Hard Hat
The MSA V-Gard 475368 is a full-brim hard hat made from polyethylene for workers who need Type 1, Class E head protection. It meets ANSI Z 89.1 2014 and CSA Z 94.1 2015 standards for impact and electrical insulation. The blue shell has no graphics and fits hat sizes 6-1/2 to 8. It is suited for construction, utility and industrial sites where overhead hazards and electrical contact are concerns.
Ratchet Suspension For All-Day Wear
The four-point ratchet suspension lets the wearer tighten or loosen the fit with a simple turn, keeping the shell stable during long shifts. Because the hat has no venting, the shell remains a continuous barrier against falling objects and incidental contact with energised conductors. The polyethylene material resists cracking under repeated stress and temperature swings typical on outdoor job sites. Workers who need airflow for heat comfort will need a vented model instead.
Side Slots For Accessory Mounting
Moulded side slots accept standard face shields, hearing protection and headlamp brackets without tools. The full brim sheds rain and deflects debris away from the face and neck. No accessory mounts are included, so users must supply their own compatible attachments. Buyers who require a cap-style brim or integrated high-visibility colouring should select a different V-Gard variant.

Questions about this item
Does the polyethylene shell of the MSA 475368 become brittle or too hot when worn all day in direct sun?
The polyethylene shell meets ANSI Z89.1-2014 and CSA Z94.1-2015 Type 1 Class E standards, which include temperature conditioning tests, so it retains impact resistance and dielectric strength during extended wear in heat.
What suspension system must I have to use this hard hat correctly?
It comes factory-fitted with a 4-point ratchet suspension that adjusts to fit head sizes 6-1/2 to 8, so no separate suspension purchase is needed.
Can I attach my existing V-Gard face shield or earmuffs to the side slots on this model?
Yes, the hat has standard V-Gard side-accessory slots that accept MSA face shields, earmuffs and other V-Gard accessories without adapters.
