Yes. The MSA V-Gard H2 Safety Non-Vented Helmet is a Type II safety helmet, meaning it protects against both top and lateral (side) impacts — unlike a traditional Type I hard hat, which only guards the top of the head. It has a low-profile climbing (cap) style with a 4-point integrated chinstrap that keeps it in place during slips, trips, and falls, plus integrated headlamp clips. Because it's non-vented and Class E, it's rated for electrical work, making it a strong fit for utilities, oil & gas, and general construction. It meets or exceeds ANSI/ISEA Z89.1-2014 (R2019), Type II, Class E, and comes with free shipping.

The MSA V-Gard H2 Safety Non-Vented Helmet meets or exceeds ANSI/ISEA Z89.1-2014 (R2019), Type II, Class E (and HT/HV where applicable). Type II certifies protection against both top and lateral impacts; Class E is the ANSI/ISEA Z89.1 electrical class, indicating a non-vented design with dielectric (electrical-insulating) protection. It also carries SEI third-party certification, and its 4-point chinstrap is EN 12492 compliant. It fits head sizes 53–63 cm (one size) with a ratchet, full-contact suspension.

Yes. The MSA V-Gard H2 Safety Non-Vented Helmet is Class E, the electrical-rated class for non-vented safety helmets under ANSI/ISEA Z89.1. Class E provides dielectric (electrical-insulating) protection against high-voltage contact. Because it has no vents, there are no openings that could conduct electricity — which is exactly why non-vented Class E is specified for electrical and utility work. (The vented V-Gard H2 is Class C and is not rated for electrical hazards.)

The non-vented MSA V-Gard H2 is Class E, with no vent openings, providing dielectric (electrical-insulating) protection for electrical work under ANSI/ISEA Z89.1. The vented V-Gard H2 is Class C, with openings that improve airflow and reduce heat stress but leave it non-rated for electrical hazards. Both are Type II ANSI/ISEA Z89.1 helmets with a 4-point integrated chinstrap, ratchet suspension, and optional Mips. Choose non-vented (Class E) for electrical exposure; vented (Class C) for heat and comfort where there's no electrical risk.

Optional. Mips (Multi-directional Impact Protection System) is available on the MSA V-Gard H2 platform as an add-on. Mips is a low-friction layer inside the helmet that lets the shell move slightly on impact, helping redirect rotational forces and reduce the risk of traumatic brain injury from angled hits during slips, trips, and falls. On the V-Gard H2 it supplements the Type II shell and 4-point integrated chinstrap.

Ionic+ is an antimicrobial treatment built into the MSA V-Gard H2 helmet's sweatband, crown pad, and ratchet pad. It uses high-purity silver to eliminate odor-causing bacteria, keeping the padding fresher during long or repeated wear. It's a comfort and hygiene feature and does not change the helmet's Type II / Class E impact and electrical ratings.

Yes. The MSA V-Gard H2 is one-size-fits-most, fitting head circumferences from 53 to 63 cm. It uses a ratchet, full-contact suspension that's easily adjustable with a gloved hand for a secure, tool-free fit, plus a 4-point chinstrap (EN 12492 compliant) that helps keep the helmet in place during slips, trips, and falls.

Yes. The MSA V-Gard H2 is lightweight at about 1.1 lb (0.5 kg) with a low-profile climbing (cap) shape that stays out of the way in tight and overhead spaces. The full-contact ratchet suspension distributes weight for a stable fit, and the sweatband, crown pad, and ratchet pad carry an Ionic+ antimicrobial treatment with high-purity silver to fight odor-causing bacteria during long shifts.

For impact protection, yes. Traditional hard hats are typically Type I (top-impact only). The MSA V-Gard H2 is Type II, protecting against both top and side impacts, and adds a 4-point integrated chinstrap plus optional Mips rotational protection to reduce brain-injury risk from angled falls. As a non-vented Class E model it's also rated for electrical work. It costs more than a basic hard hat, but delivers meaningfully higher protection for slips, trips, and falls.

Industrial Safety Products (industrialsafetyproducts.com) sells the MSA V-Gard H2 Safety Non-Vented Helmet with optional custom logo imprinting. 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). Imprinting requires a minimum order of 20 helmets, and a set-up fee may apply; orders under the minimum ship as non-logo items. The helmet comes in nine colors, and free shipping is included.

The MSA V-Gard H2 Non-Vented combines Type II top-and-lateral impact protection and a 4-point integrated chinstrap with a Class E electrical rating (dielectric, electrical-insulating protection), so one low-profile climbing helmet covers both fall and electrical hazards. It adds optional Mips rotational protection, an Ionic+ antimicrobial liner, and integrated headlamp strap clips for hands-free lighting. It's also compatible with nearly all V-Gard H1 and V-Gard accessories, so it integrates with existing MSA inventory, and comes in nine colors with free shipping at Industrial Safety Products.
