It is part of the V-Gard series and is molded from polyethylene for durability and impact resistance. The hat features a 4-point ratchet suspension with reversible donning, allowing the brim to face forward or backward depending on the task. Class E dielectric rating means it is tested for electrical hazard protection at high voltage levels. At 0.66 pounds, it provides full-shift comfort without excess weight. Licensed electricians, general contractors, and safety-conscious tradespeople across multiple disciplines rely on this model.\u003c\/p\u003e\u003cp\u003eThis hard hat is designed for general-purpose use in residential and commercial construction, utilities, manufacturing, and industrial maintenance environments. The front brim provides shade from the sun, reduces glare, and sheds rain to keep the worker focused on the task. The robin egg blue color is a solid, non-high-visibility finish with no graphics or reflective decals. Side-slot accessory mounting allows for compatible add-ons such as face shields or ear muffs. The reversible design adds versatility when working in confined or directionally specific tasks. Compatible replacement suspensions include MSA part number 10148708.\u003c\/p\u003e\u003ch4\u003eKey Features\u003c\/h4\u003e\u003cul\u003e\n\u003cli\u003eType 1 impact protection guards against vertical impacts per ANSI Z89.1-2014 and CSA Z94.1-2015\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003eClass E dielectric rating for electrical hazard protection at high voltage\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003e4-point ratchet suspension for tool-free, adjustable fit across hat sizes 6-1\/2 to 8\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003eReversible donning allows front-brim or back-brim orientation\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003eSide-slot accessory mounting supports compatible face shields, ear muffs, and other attachments\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003eNon-vented shell construction for environments where ventilation openings are not permitted\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003c\/ul\u003e\u003ch4\u003eCompatibility\u003c\/h4\u003e\u003cp\u003eCompatible with MSA replacement suspension part number 10148708.

Inspect the shell and suspension for cracks, dents, or UV degradation before each shift and replace if damage is found. Do not modify, drill, or paint the shell, as these actions can compromise structural integrity and void compliance with ANSI and CSA standards. Replacement suspensions should be sourced from compatible MSA components to maintain rated protection levels.\u003c\/p\u003e\u003ch4\u003eTechnical Specifications\u003c\/h4\u003e\u003cul\u003e\n\u003cli\u003e\n\u003cstrong\u003eANSI Impact Type\u003c\/strong\u003e: Type 1\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003e\n\u003cstrong\u003eANSI Electrical Class\u003c\/strong\u003e: Class E\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003e\n\u003cstrong\u003eCSA Type\u003c\/strong\u003e: Type I\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003e\n\u003cstrong\u003eCSA Class\u003c\/strong\u003e: Class E\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003e\n\u003cstrong\u003eHead Protection Style\u003c\/strong\u003e: Front Brim\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003e\n\u003cstrong\u003eColor\u003c\/strong\u003e: Robin Egg Blue\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003e\n\u003cstrong\u003eVenting\u003c\/strong\u003e: Non-Vented\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003e\n\u003cstrong\u003eSuspension Points\u003c\/strong\u003e: 4\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003e\n\u003cstrong\u003eSuspension Adjustment\u003c\/strong\u003e: Ratchet\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003e\n\u003cstrong\u003eReversible Donning\u003c\/strong\u003e: Yes\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003e\n\u003cstrong\u003eDielectric\u003c\/strong\u003e: Yes\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003e\n\u003cstrong\u003eMaterial\u003c\/strong\u003e: Polyethylene\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003e\n\u003cstrong\u003eFits Hat Size\u003c\/strong\u003e: 6-1\/2 to 8\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003e\n\u003cstrong\u003eAccessory Slots\u003c\/strong\u003e: Side-Slots\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003e\n\u003cstrong\u003eHigh-Visibility\u003c\/strong\u003e: No\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003e\n\u003cstrong\u003eWeight\u003c\/strong\u003e: 0.66 pounds\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003e\n\u003cstrong\u003eStandards\u003c\/strong\u003e: ANSI Z89.1-2014; CSA Z94.1-2015\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003e\n\u003cstrong\u003eCountry of Origin\u003c\/strong\u003e: USA (subject to change)\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003c\/ul\u003e\u003ch4\u003eStandard Information\u003c\/h4\u003e\u003cul\u003e\n\u003cli\u003e\n\u003cstrong\u003eBrand\u003c\/strong\u003e: MSA Safety\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003e\n\u003cstrong\u003eManufacturer Part Number\u003c\/strong\u003e: 495853\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003c\/ul\u003e","brand":"MSA SAFETY","offers":[{"title":"Default Title","offer_id":51525431165234,"sku":"495853","price":468.51,"currency_code":"USD","in_stock":false}],"thumbnail_url":"\/\/cdn.shopify.com\/s\/files\/1\/0270\/4519\/9983\/files\/762eb1d1f1fc75f73fea060b086a8c5e.jpg?v=1785473497","url":"https:\/\/voomisupply.com\/products\/msa-safety-495853-v-gard-hard-hat-type-1-class-e","provider":"Voomi Supply","version":"1.0","type":"link"}
