Product identity

The MSA V-Gard 500 is a Type 1, Class C hard hat designed for workers who need impact protection on the job site. It meets ANSI Z 89.1 -2014 and CSA Z 94.1 -2015 standards for head protection. The front brim style shields the face from falling debris and glare. This model is not for buyers who require electrical insulation or full brim coverage.

Build and fit

The shell is made of polyethylene and uses a 4-point ratchet suspension that adjusts to fit hat sizes 6-1/2 to 8. Side slots allow the attachment of face shields, hearing protection or other accessories. Ventilation openings promote airflow during long shifts. The green colour provides visibility without high-visibility certification.

Thermals and comfort

Venting in the shell helps release heat so the wearer stays cooler in warm conditions. The ratchet system distributes weight evenly to reduce pressure points over a full day. No power source or active cooling is involved, so there is no noise or energy draw to consider.
