Oilfield Camo V-Gard Protection in a Full-Brim Design
The MSA V-Gard Hydro Dip 10204783 is a full-brim industrial hard hat with an Oilfield Camo finish and Fas-Trac III ratchet suspension. It is made for buyers who need a specific MSA part number for oil and gas, construction, utilities, mining, plant maintenance, and general industrial head-protection programs.
This is the full-brim Hat - Oilfield Camo configuration, not the cap-style Oilfield Camo model. The brim provides broader coverage from sun and rain, while the Fas-Trac III suspension allows quick fit adjustment. MSA identifies the V-Gard Hydro Dip family for Type I protective-helmet use and lists this exact part under ANSI/ISEA Z89.1-2014 and CAN/CSA Z94.1-2015.

MSA V-Gard 10204783 Oilfield Camo Hard Hat FAQ
Is MSA 10204783 a full-brim hard hat or a cap-style hard hat?
MSA identifies part 10204783 as the full-brim “Hat - Oilfield Camo” configuration. The cap-style Oilfield Camo model is a different manufacturer part number.
What suspension is included with the MSA V-Gard 10204783?
MSA states that V-Gard Hydro Dip hard hats include the Fas-Trac III suspension. It uses a ratchet adjustment for a secure, adjustable fit.
Is this a Type I or Type II hard hat?
This V-Gard Hydro Dip hard hat is a Type I configuration for top-impact protection. It is not a Type II helmet for lateral-impact protection.
Is MSA 10204783 Class E rated?
The current ASA catalog identifies the model as Class E, and MSA lists the exact part under ANSI/ISEA Z89.1-2014 and CAN/CSA Z94.1-2015. Because MSA says approvals can vary by configuration and country, confirm the Class E marking on the received helmet before electrical use.
What does Oilfield Camo mean?
Oilfield Camo is MSA's name for this hydro-dip visual finish. It identifies the pattern and does not create a separate oil-and-gas safety certification or replace a workplace hazard assessment.
Can MSA V-Gard accessories be used with this hard hat?
Use only accessories that MSA specifies for this exact V-Gard full-brim configuration. Compatibility must be confirmed by part number because a physically attachable accessory may still affect the approved helmet assembly.
What are the manufacturer dimensions and weight?
MSA lists the product at approximately 12.087 inches long, 10.512 inches wide, 6.024 inches high, and 0.904 lb. These are manufacturer product specifications, not packed shipping dimensions.
When should the shell or suspension be replaced?
Inspect both components before every use and replace damaged, worn, chemically exposed, or impacted parts immediately. Follow the current MSA instructions and the employer's inspection program rather than relying only on a calendar interval.
