The MSA V-Gard Safety Helmet Half Brim Shell is engineered to deliver dependable head protection in demanding industrial environments. Its durable HDPE shell incorporates MSA's iconic molded "V" crown design, which helps deflect falling objects while enhancing overall structural strength.
The cap-style half brim offers improved upward visibility without compromising protection, while the integrated rain trough channels water away from the wearer's face during outdoor work. Designed for versatility, the shell features universal 30 mm Euro-style accessory slots compatible with face shields, earmuffs, lamp brackets, and other MSA helmet accessories.
Available in multiple size options and compatible with Fas-Trac® III, Staz-On®, and 1-Touch® suspension systems, the V-Gard shell provides a comfortable, secure fit for a wide range of industrial users.
