Ergodyne 60228 Full Brim Vented Hard Hat Class C Lime

Product Description

The ERGODYNE 60228 is the Skullerz 8968, a Class C vented full brim hard hat designed for workers who need lightweight head protection without sacrificing durability. The shell is made from high-density polyethylene (HDPE), which runs approximately 15% lighter than PC-ABS hard hat shells. A 6-point suspension system disperses impact force more effectively than standard 4-point systems. The one-handed LockFit ratchet adjustment offers 36 points of customization for a secure, repeatable fit. Ventilation channels remain open at all times, allowing heat to escape and air to circulate - a meaningful advantage in hot, humid job sites. Total unit weight is 1.06 pounds.

This hard hat is suited for general construction, utilities, landscaping, road work, and other outdoor trades where sun, rain, and falling debris are routine hazards. The full brim profile channels rain away from the eyes and provides all-around coverage from the sun. The swiveling suspension pivots up and down to clear bandana or ponytail knots, making it practical for a wider range of wearers. A removable foam-backed sweatband is both breathable and washable, supporting all-day wear in warm conditions. Dedicated accessory attachment locations allow integration with compatible hard hat accessories such as face shields, earmuffs, and lighting.

Installation Notes

Fit adjustment is performed by the wearer using the one-handed ratchet dial at the rear of the suspension. Before each use, inspect the shell and suspension for cracks, dents, or degradation - damaged components must be replaced before the hat is worn. Hard hat service life and retirement intervals should follow the manufacturer's guidelines and applicable ANSI Z89.1 requirements observed at the job site.
