Polyethylene shell and your choice of suspension system Available in either cap or hat style Standard (6 1/2 - 8) MSA V-Gard caps and hats meet or exceed all applicable requirements for a Type I (top impact) helmet as outlined in ANSI Z89.1-2003,Class E, and also as outlined in CSA Z94.1-2005 (Class E) with 1-Touch® and Fas-Trac suspensions.V-Gard caps and hats are not specifically designed to protect against lateral blows from the front, side, or rear. MSA's Vanguard II protective helmets are so designed and must be used if lateral protection is desired. Contact your local MSA distributor for additional information.
Caution: V-Gard Caps and Hats are not specifically designed to protect against lateral blows from the front, side, or rear.
WARNING! Do not mix suspension and helmet sizes. Make sure the sizes match (example: standard-size suspension with standard-size helmet). Use only MSA suspensions on an MSA helmet. Failure to comply with the above will reduce the energy absorbing ability of the protective helmet, which can result in serious injury or death.
