Hard Hat With Back-of-Head Protection

Honeywell’s North Force hard hat offers 24% more back-of-head coverage than standard Type I hard hats, according to the company. The patented shell design of the new design provides increased rear-head coverage without restricting range of motion, while an innovative rear-impact attenuator absorbs force to minimize injuries. The hard hat is suited for upstream oil workers, miners or workers in other industries in which slippery or icy conditions exist. It is constructed of a unique, lightweight shell material that offers high-impact resistance and stands up to extreme temperature changes ranging from -30F to 120F. A six-point suspension system with five adjustment areas allows for a customized, comfortable fit.
