Yes. The MSA 475369 V-Gard White Full Brim is the classic, widely used MSA hard hat — MSA reports over 100 million V-Gard helmets sold. It provides superior top-impact protection, a full brim for all-around sun and debris shielding, and the Fas-Trac III ratcheting suspension for comfort. The shell is virgin high-density polyethylene (HDPE) with a UV inhibitor, and it meets ANSI/ISEA Z89.1-2014 and CSA Z94.1. It ships with free shipping from Industrial Safety Products.

The MSA 475369 V-Gard White Full Brim Hard Hat meets or exceeds ANSI/ISEA Z89.1-2014 and CSA Z94.1. It is built for superior top-impact protection (a Type I hard hat, guarding the top of the head), with a full brim, a standard size, and the Fas-Trac III ratcheting suspension. Its shell is virgin high-density polyethylene (HDPE) with a UV inhibitor.

Fas-Trac III is MSA's ratcheting suspension built into the 475369 V-Gard. It uses a rear knob you turn to tighten or loosen the fit quickly, even one-handed while wearing gloves. MSA describes it as the most comfortable suspension on the market, preferred by 92% of users, and it adjusts across the standard size range.

The MSA 475369 V-Gard is made of virgin high-density polyethylene (HDPE) with a built-in UV inhibitor. The HDPE shell provides superior top-impact protection and durability, and the UV inhibitor helps the shell resist degradation from sun exposure over time. It's a general-purpose industrial hard hat, not a specialty high-heat or phenolic helmet.

Yes. The MSA 475369 V-Gard is a standard size adjusted with the Fas-Trac III ratcheting suspension — a rear knob you turn to dial in a secure, comfortable fit, even while wearing gloves. It's lightweight at about 0.88 lb (0.40 kg), and the full brim runs all the way around for added sun and rain protection.

MSA recommends replacing the Fas-Trac suspension after no more than 12 months of use and replacing the shell after no more than five (5) years of use. You should also always replace the helmet after it has withstood any impact or penetration, and inspect it before and after each use, replacing any worn parts. Consult MSA's user instructions for full details.

The MSA 475369 V-Gard has a full brim that runs all the way around the helmet, versus a cap style's short front brim. That full brim adds all-around protection from sun, rain, sparks, and falling debris at the front, sides, and back — useful for outdoor and general industrial work. It keeps the same V-Gard top-impact protection, HDPE shell, and Fas-Trac III suspension as the cap style.

Yes. The MSA 475369 V-Gard is a slotted full brim hard hat and is designed for use with MSA accessories, so it accepts cap-mounted earmuffs, face shields, and other slotted attachments. MSA notes that using its matched accessories helps ensure compliance of the helmet-and-accessory system. This makes the V-Gard easy to build into a complete head, hearing, and face protection setup.

Yes. The MSA 475369 V-Gard ships with free shipping from Industrial Safety Products, and optional custom logo imprinting is available. Logo printing is priced per location: $6.60 per location for a single color, or $10.90 per location for up to 4 colors, on up to four locations (front, back, right, and left sides). It requires a minimum order of 20 hard hats, and a set-up fee may apply; orders under the 20-unit minimum ship as non-logo items.

The MSA 475369 V-Gard is the original, brand-name hard hat behind the iconic "V" design, with over 100 million V-Gard helmets sold. It pairs a virgin HDPE shell with a UV inhibitor for durability and superior top-impact protection, adds a full brim for all-around coverage, and uses the Fas-Trac III suspension that MSA says is preferred by 92% of users. It meets ANSI/ISEA Z89.1-2014 and CSA Z94.1 and is built to work with MSA's accessory ecosystem — a proven, standardized choice over an unbranded hard hat.

It depends on heat exposure. The MSA 475369 V-Gard is a general-purpose HDPE full brim hard hat for everyday construction and industrial top-impact protection, and it's lightweight and economical. The Skullgard is a phenolic hat rated for radiant heat up to 350°F, made for steel mills, foundries, and welding. Choose the V-Gard for standard job sites and the Skullgard when high radiant heat is the hazard. Both are MSA full brim hats with the Fas-Trac ratcheting suspension.
