V-Gard Slotted Cap for Industrial Head Protection

The MSA 477483 hard hat meets ANSI Type 1 Class E requirements for impact and electrical hazard protection. Its high-density polyethylene shell provides a front brim design suitable for general construction, utility and maintenance work where top-only impact rating is specified.

Fas-Trac III Ratchet Suspension and Side Slots

A four-point ratchet suspension adjusts to fit hat sizes 7 through 8-1/2 without removing the helmet. Integrated side-accessory slots accept compatible face shields, hearing protection or lamp brackets using part number 10148707, while the reversible design allows the brim to face forward or backward as the task demands.

Lightweight Polyethylene Shell Weighs 0.66 lb

The unvented HDPE shell keeps weight low to reduce neck strain during full-shift wear. With no ventilation openings the hat maintains its Class E dielectric rating, and the smooth blue finish resists dirt buildup without high-visibility colouring that some sites do not require.
