MSA V-Gard Slotted Cap HDPE Fas-Trac III Suspension Type I 495854

MSA V-Gard Slotted Cap HDPE

The MSA V-Gard Slotted Cap is a Type I, Class E hard hat built from high-density polyethylene with a front brim. It uses a four-point Fas-Trac III ratchet suspension that fits head sizes from 6-1/2 to 8 and weighs 0.66 lb. The shell includes side slots for accessory mounting and supports reverse donning for flexible wear. It carries no high-visibility markings.

Upgrade from basic fixed-suspension hats

Workers moving from a pin-lock or non-ratchet suspension gain a secure, one-handed fit adjustment that stays tight during active tasks. The jump is worth it when daily use demands quick re-sizing, compatibility with the 10148708 replacement suspension, or side-slot attachments such as face shields and hearing protection. The reversible brim adds versatility for tight workspaces or changing light conditions.

Suits industrial crews needing slotted accessory

This cap suits construction, utility and maintenance teams who require ANSI Type I top-impact protection with side-slot expandability and a ratchet fit system. Buyers who need a full brim for sun and rain runoff, vented shells for heat dissipation, or high-visibility colour options should look at alternative models. The brown, non-vented shell also limits visibility in low-light environments.
