The MSA 10153382 Fas-Trac® III 6-Point Replacement Ratchet Suspension is engineered to restore the comfort, fit, and protection of compatible MSA industrial safety helmets. Specifically designed for MSA V-Gard® 500 and SmoothDome® helmet shells, this premium suspension provides enhanced impact load distribution and long-lasting wearer comfort.
Its advanced six-point suspension system distributes impact forces more evenly across the head while the gear-driven ratchet adjustment enables quick, precise sizing—even when wearing work gloves. A three-level adjustable nape strap, breathable moisture-wicking sweatband, and contoured rear comfort pad improve helmet stability and reduce pressure points during extended work shifts.
Constructed with non-conductive materials, the suspension maintains the dielectric performance of compatible Class E safety helmets, making it suitable for construction, utilities, electrical work, manufacturing, mining, oil & gas, and industrial maintenance.
