MSA V-Gard Hard Hat 496075
This MSA V-Gard hard hat provides Type 1, Class E head protection with a full brim design. The polyethylene shell weighs 0.88 lb and comes in orange with no graphics. It fits most head sizes and features side slots for accessory mounting. The hat is reversible for reverse donning and is not rated as high-visibility.
Fas-Trac III Suspension System
The bundled Fas-Trac III suspension uses a four-point ratchet mechanism for fit adjustment. It attaches to the slotted shell and carries the compatible manufacturer part number 10148708. This suspension replaces the standard pin-lock system with a quicker tightening action. No additional software or mounting hardware is included beyond the suspension itself.
Suitable For General Industrial Use
Workers needing ANSI Type 1 Class E protection with a full brim and side-accessory slots will find this hat appropriate. Buyers who require a vented shell, integrated high-visibility colouring, or a different suspension style should look at alternative models. The one-size-fits-most design may not suit users needing precise size-specific shells.

Questions about this item
How often should the Fas-Trac III suspension (part 10148708) be replaced?
MSA recommends replacing the suspension assembly when the ratchet, straps or crown pads show cracking, fraying or loss of adjustment.
What is the first limit reached under sustained use?
The polyethylene shell degrades from UV exposure and impact; inspect daily and retire the hat if the surface becomes chalky, cracked or dented.
How much heat builds up when the hat is worn all day?
The non-vented full-brim design traps heat; the 0.88 lb polyethylene shell adds minimal weight but offers no airflow channels.
