Malta Dynamics 4-Point Ratchet Full Brim Hard Hat
The Malta Dynamics full-brim hard hat surrounds the head with a 360-degree brim that sheds sun, rain, and falling debris, while a 4-point ratchet suspension dials in a secure, all-day fit. It is built and tested to ANSI Z89.1 Type 1 Class E, with electrical insulation up to 20,000 volts for utility and construction crews.
A rugged, lightweight polyethylene shell keeps the hat durable without added bulk, and cushion pillows plus a nape cushion pad the contact points for extended wear. Available in eight colors and made in the USA in an ISO 9001 registered facility, it is sold here in multi-unit color packs to outfit a crew.
Who Needs This Product
This full brim hard hat is head protection for crews who want all-around coverage from the sun and overhead hazards in addition to top-impact protection.

It is sold in multi-unit color packs so a crew can be outfitted from one order.
