Its iconic \"V\" crown geometry deflects falling objects, while the 360° brim shades the face, ears, and neck from UV exposure. Standard sizing fits a 6-1\/2\" to 8\" head range without separate fitment SKUs.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eMost economy headwear omits a verified impact class, leaving safety officers to guess at compliance. This model resolves that gap with a documented ANSI\/ISEA Z89.1-2014 Type I, Class E rating, protecting against both overhead impact and electrical contact up to 20,000 volts. Buyers gain audit-ready specifications rather than vague marketing claims.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eHandling remains straightforward across crews. A self-adjusting crown strap and perforated sweatband manage fit and moisture during extended wear. MSA recommends replacing the suspension after 12 months and the shell after five years, giving facilities a clear maintenance cadence for OSHA recordkeeping.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003ch2\u003eAvailable Sizes and Configurations\u003c\/h2\u003e\n\u003ctable\u003e\n\u003cthead\u003e\u003ctr\u003e\n\u003cth\u003eSKU\u003c\/th\u003e\n\u003cth\u003eColor\u003c\/th\u003e\n\u003cth\u003eFormat\u003c\/th\u003e\n\u003c\/tr\u003e\u003c\/thead\u003e\n\u003ctbody\u003e\n\u003ctr\u003e\n\u003ctd\u003e475369\u003c\/td\u003e\n\u003ctd\u003eWhite\u003c\/td\u003e\n\u003ctd\u003eFull Brim, Fas-Trac III Suspension\u003c\/td\u003e\n\u003c\/tr\u003e\n\u003ctr\u003e\n\u003ctd\u003e475370\u003c\/td\u003e\n\u003ctd\u003eGreen\u003c\/td\u003e\n\u003ctd\u003eFull Brim, Fas-Trac III Suspension\u003c\/td\u003e\n\u003c\/tr\u003e\n\u003c\/tbody\u003e\n\u003c\/table\u003e\n\u003ch2\u003eTechnical Specifications\u003c\/h2\u003e\n\u003ctable\u003e\u003ctbody\u003e\n\u003ctr\u003e\n\u003cth\u003eProduct Type\u003c\/th\u003e\n\u003ctd\u003eFull Brim Protective Hard Hat\u003c\/td\u003e\n\u003c\/tr\u003e\n\u003ctr\u003e\n\u003cth\u003eShell Material\u003c\/th\u003e\n\u003ctd\u003eVirgin High-Density Polyethylene (HDPE) with UV Inhibitor\u003c\/td\u003e\n\u003c\/tr\u003e\n\u003ctr\u003e\n\u003cth\u003eSuspension\u003c\/th\u003e\n\u003ctd\u003eFas-Trac® III, 4-Point Ratchet\u003c\/td\u003e\n\u003c\/tr\u003e\n\u003ctr\u003e\n\u003cth\u003eStandards\u003c\/th\u003e\n\u003ctd\u003eANSI\/ISEA Z89.1-2014 Type I, Class E; CSA Z94.1-2015\u003c\/td\u003e\n\u003c\/tr\u003e\n\u003ctr\u003e\n\u003cth\u003eSize Range\u003c\/th\u003e\n\u003ctd\u003eStandard, 6-1\/2\" to 8\"\u003c\/td\u003e\n\u003c\/tr\u003e\n\u003ctr\u003e\n\u003cth\u003eApprox.
