The MSA 697290 V-Gard® Polyurethane Sun Shield is engineered to improve worker comfort and protection during prolonged outdoor operations. Designed specifically for standard MSA V-Gard® Cap Style hard hats, the reusable sun shield extends helmet coverage around the face, ears, and neck to help reduce heat exposure and harmful UV radiation.
Manufactured from durable, flexible polyurethane with an integrated smoke-tinted Lexan® polycarbonate front visor, the shield provides excellent upward visibility while reducing glare from overhead sunlight. Its lightweight, tool-free design installs quickly without affecting the impact or dielectric performance of compatible MSA safety helmets.
Ideal for construction, utilities, oil & gas, mining, infrastructure, and industrial maintenance professionals working in harsh outdoor environments.
