V-Gard Protective Hats from MSA consist of a polyethylene shell and suspension system working together as a protection system. V-Gard headwear features advanced styling in hat styles.

Vanguard polycarbonate helmets are designed to provide limited impact and penetration protection in the event of a top or lateral blow to the head, as well as limited protection against contact with high-voltage conductors.

Representing the latest generation of protective headwear, these helmets are tested to the same energy level for both top and lateral blows.

Use only MSA's Fas-Trac Suspension designed for Vanguard Helmets. Use of any other suspension will reduce the energy-absorbing ability of the protective helmet, which can result in serious personal injury or death.
