I’ve always wanted one of these. LolMaybe room for a fan in there. I found those around the neck fans actually love some air too
Do you know if you are required to use a certain rated hard hat? That in itself could be a game changer.Ok for everyone that’s in the trades where you have to wear one for ppe. What’s the most comfortable and cool one you’ve had. I get headaches from wearing them and they just in general suck. I work on a paving crew so it’s hot out there. Let’s see what you have or have tried.
After a few tens of thousands of hours of wearing a helmet, sometimes living in one for days on end, this type has always been my go-to. Old-style construction type helmets did exactly one thing: prevent OSHA fines. They did very little to actually protect a worker.I was against it at first because it looked dumb, but I actually like it better than my old one, now.
Way more comfy and the holes on top allow for good air movement. Chin strap is removable as well if the job doesn't require it.

And what is the point of wearing a hard hat to pick up trash outside in the open along the roadway? sh** aint going to drop on you from above, and a car hitting you is going to send that thing flying, so its useless.After a few tens of thousands of hours of wearing a helmet, sometimes living in one for days on end, this type has always been my go-to.

A wise man once told me that a helmet reflects what you think your head is worth. I’ve always used better PPE than was “required” because a lifetime in EMS and rescue has let me see the consequences of accidents, and a lot of them were preventable. Don’t care at all if some idiot thinks that makes me less of a man. The opinion of idiots has never meant anything to me.
Because we are made to. I’ve made the same point countless times. In my 25 years of service I’ve watched the slow march of retarded ppe regulations moving ever forward. Some are indeed worth while but most are there to please the insurance man.And what is the point of wearing a hard hat to pick up trash outside in the open along the roadway? sh** aint going to drop on you from above, and a car hitting you is going to send that thing flying, so its useless.
I always shake my head when I pass those guys.

Go to welding store get leather sweat band for front of band and cut one of top bands so it fits down on head.
The 25 years that I wore an American Bridge hat, I always used the sponge sweat bands around the front. And why would one cut one of the safety suspension straps out?Go to welding store get leather sweat band for front of band and cut one of top bands so it fits down on head.
