What Crews Say About the APEX Class E Helmet

4.3
★★★★★
Based on customer reviews of the APEX Type 2 Class E safety helmet
★★★★★
Light and low profile
Matt
Safety first, and this helmet delivers. The fit is snug and confidence inspiring thanks to the adjustable headband and solid chin strap. The cap style sits low and feels light through a full shift, and it meets all the major safety standards. The design and color are clean and professional.
★★★★★
A proper restrained Type 2 for daily use
azYetiSquatch
It is a Type 2 with side impact protection and it has a chin strap. My employer is moving toward Type 2 helmets for field staff because we work around moving booms and backhoes. I like the headlamp retaining straps so they do not slip off, the ratchet headband is quick, and the sweatband does not leave marks. Well constructed and looks good too.

Who Needs This Helmet

This Type 2 Class E cap style helmet is built for electricians, utility and line crews, and anyone working near energized conductors who also needs all-angle impact protection in a lightweight, low-profile shell. The Class E rating guards against contact up to 20,000 volts, the Type 2 shell protects against top, side, front, and rear blows, and the cap style keeps the helmet streamlined for ladders, lifts, and tight spaces. The 4-point chin strap keeps it secure during climbing and at-height work.

Frequently Asked Questions

What does Type 2 Class E mean on a safety helmet?
Type 2 means the helmet is rated for impacts from the top, front, back, and sides, unlike a Type 1 hard hat that only protects against a top blow. Class E is the electrical class, tested to withstand up to 20,000 volts for work near energized conductors.
What standards does the APEX Type 2 Class E cap style helmet meet?
It meets ANSI Z89.1-2014 Type 2 Class E and EN12492, and is compliant with OSHA 1910 and OSHA 1926 for general industry and construction work.
What is the difference between a cap style and a full brim helmet?
A cap style helmet has a short front brim that keeps the helmet light and low profile, which works well on ladders, in lifts, and in tight overhead spaces. A full brim wraps 360 degrees for extra sun, rain, and debris protection. Both APEX shells carry the same Type 2 Class E impact and electrical ratings.
Is this helmet rated for electrical work?
Yes. The Class E rating means the ABS shell was tested to withstand up to 20,000 volts. Keep the shell free of holes and conductive accessories, and inspect it before each use to preserve the electrical rating.
What head sizes does the APEX helmet fit?
The 6-point comfort ratchet suspension adjusts to fit head sizes 6 1/2 to 8. A removable, adjustable 4-point chin strap keeps the helmet secure during movement or a fall.
How do the build-your-kit add-ons work?
Each item in the Build Your Kit section has its own Add to cart button and is added to the same cart as your helmet, so everything ships together. Pick your helmet color above, add the helmet, then add safety glasses, goggles, a harness, gloves, or a helmet caddy as needed.
When should I replace the helmet?
Retire and replace the helmet after any impact or fall event, or if the shell shows cracks, dents, gouges, or chalking, or the suspension or chin strap is frayed or damaged. Inspect before each use and store away from heat and sunlight.
