Pip Industries 280-HP542MC 4-point Hard Hat Chin Strap

Product Description

The PIP INDUSTRIES 280-HP542MC is a 4-point padded chin strap designed for use with hard hats in fall-risk and elevated work environments. It features a Fidlock magnetic clip that allows the wearer to fasten and release the strap without removing gloves, making it practical for trade work where hand protection stays on. The nylon straps are fully adjustable for a secure, comfortable fit across a range of head sizes. The strap attaches to the hard hat suspension headband via plastic snaps and is intended for workers operating at heights who need their hard hat to stay in place under dynamic conditions.

This chin strap is suited for construction, utility, and industrial applications where hard hat retention is required at elevation. It is designed as a universal fitment solution for hard hats equipped with a suspension system, and also serves as a direct replacement chin strap for the Kilimanjaro Type II hard hat models 280-HP642R-CH and 280-HP642RV-CH. Licensed safety professionals, ironworkers, linemen, and general contractors working under fall protection requirements are the primary installers and end users.
