The MSA V-Gard 500 Vented Safety Helmet is engineered for professionals working in construction, utilities, manufacturing, mining, and oil & gas industries where head protection, comfort, and ventilation are essential.
Manufactured from durable UV-stabilized Acrylonitrile Butadiene Styrene (ABS), the helmet features MSA's signature high-profile "V" shell design for enhanced impact performance and scratch resistance. The integrated crown ventilation system promotes continuous airflow to reduce heat buildup, while the Glaregard™ under-brim finish minimizes reflected sunlight for improved visibility.
Designed for maximum user comfort, the helmet accommodates Fas-Trac® III 4-point or 6-point ratchet suspension systems, fitting head sizes from 52 cm to 64 cm. Standard 30 mm universal accessory slots allow seamless integration with MSA face shields, earmuffs, lamp brackets, and other compatible helmet accessories.
