Occunomix VCB200-06 Vulcan Cowboy Style Hard Hat with Ratchet Suspension, Black

Product Information

Depending on the environment or even time of year, you may need to wear either vented or non-vented head protection. With vented industrial headgear, the open frame design prevents heat buildup around the head, allowing air to circulate and keep employees cool during summer months. The non-vented hard hat is made to retain heat, and keep the head warm in colder conditions. At the same time, the hat could be used to transport water from a spring to the man’s lodgings. Founder of the renowned brand, John B. Stetson, got the idea for this revolutionary hat when he realized that his tent, which was made from the same material, was absolutely watertight, even during the heaviest showers.

Then this special fur is made into felt using different wet or dry processes to align and condense the fibres. The felt is made more pliable by working it, often with a combination of handmade and machine processes, contributing to the overall quality of the hat. The density of the best felts offer excellent rain and sun protection and this quality will increase the price. Originally beginning with John Batterson Stetson, who created the American cowboy hat, the hats were often worn by Western farmers or ranchers who spent most of their time outside. Vulcan cowboy hard hats meet and exceed the ANSI Z89.1, Type 1, Class E, G, and C standards. Therefore, yes, this product complies with OSHA-approved head protection requirements. Western-style head protection Stetson offers the right products for not only every temperature but also for every occasion. For sport, a classic cap; casual jeans for a party, and not forgetting the matching shirt. For the opera, a bowler hat and perhaps a top hat for one’s own wedding. Even driving a sports car becomes a stylish occasion, thanks to Stetson’s aviator hat and sunglasses.

EN 397 is the standard specification for industrial safety helmets, which ensures the head does not receive the full force, pressure or weight of any impact.

The hat may have eyelets or air holes around the mid-crown of the hat to keep your head cool, so it can fit tightly but still breathe.

There are many factors that go into the design of a hat, including the material, the shape and many design factors that make a hat more wearable and comfortable and last longer. How you care for your hat will also affect the lenth of its service to you.

The shell on most hard hats is made out of a high-density polyethylene (HDPE) due to the high impact resistance and lightweight design for long-term wear. Some industrial helmets are also made using a material called Acrylonitrile Butadiene Styrene (ABS) which has a good impact and chemical resistance, great for industrial environments. You should ensure that your work helmet fits properly after any needed adjustments. The hard hat should fit snugly plus remain in place regardless of whether the wearer is looking up, down or is in motion. Ideally, the hard hat will allow for space in between the wearer’s head and the shell of the hat – most models can be manually adjusted via a wheel or slip ratchet to ensure the perfect fit. It is important that the headgear is orientated properly and that the cap is not worn at an incorrect angle, as this will reduce the hard hat’s efficacy. How often should hard hats be replaced?
