The MSA V-Gard C1 Non-Vented Full Brim Hard Hat is designed to protect workers operating in demanding industrial and utility environments where heat, sunlight, and electrical hazards are major concerns.
Its durable UV-stabilized High-Density Polyethylene (HDPE) shell incorporates MSA's patented ReflectIR™ thermal barrier technology, which reflects radiant solar heat to keep the helmet interior up to 20°F (11°C) cooler than conventional hard hats in direct sunlight.
The extended full-brim design offers approximately 12% greater coverage than traditional full-brim helmets, helping protect the face, neck, ears, and shoulders from sun exposure and rain. Equipped with the pre-installed Fas-Trac® III 4-Point Ratchet Suspension, the helmet delivers exceptional comfort, secure fit, and easy adjustment while maintaining certified dielectric protection for electrical applications.
