Workers needing certified climbing headgear
This hat suits workers who require a Type 1, Class E helmet with a secure ratchet fit for climbing tasks. It is not for users who need a vented shell for airflow, a high-visibility colour scheme, or reverse-donning capability. Buyers wanting integrated graphics or a different suspension style should consider other models.
ANSI Type 1 Class E rating
The decisive specification is the ANSI Type 1, Class E classification, which defines the impact and electrical protection level. Confirm that your site safety plan calls for exactly this type and class before purchase.
