V-Gard Hi-Viz Orange Cap 488146

This MSA hard hat uses a polyethylene shell to deliver Type 1, Class E impact protection for the top of the head. The Fas-Trac III suspension features self-adjusting crown straps and a 4-point ratchet system that fits head sizes 6-1/2 to 8. High-visibility orange colouring and side-accessory slots complete the specification.

Workers needing top-impact head protection

Suitable for construction, utility and industrial crews who require ANSI Z89.1-2014 and CSA Z94.1-2015 compliance in a non-vented, front-brim design. Not intended for applications that demand lateral impact protection, vented cooling or a full-brim profile for sun and rain runoff.

ANSI Type 1 Class E certification

This classification confirms the cap meets 2014 ANSI and 2015 CSA standards for vertical impact and dielectric protection up to 20 000 volts. Buyers needing Type 2 side-impact rating or a different electrical class must select an alternative model.

Questions about this item

Will the Fas-Trac III ratchet suspension on this 488146 cap fit over the hood of my winter work jacket?

The self-adjusting crown straps and 4-point ratchet design let you tighten or loosen the fit quickly, so the cap sits securely over a hood or beanie without pressure points.

How can I verify the V-Gard 488146 meets the ANSI Z 89.1 2014 Type 1 Class E rating once it arrives?

Check the moulded label inside the polyethylene shell; it lists the ANSI Z 89.1 2014 Type 1 Class E and CSA Z 94.1 2015 markings that confirm the certification.

Does the 488146 come with a chin strap or do I need to order one separately for high-wind sites?

The cap includes only the Fas-Trac III suspension and polyethylene shell; chin straps are not supplied and must be purchased as a separate accessory if required.
