Type II Climbing Safety Helmet | ANSI Z89.1 | Full Impact Protection
The Type II Climbing Safety Helmet delivers superior protection and versatility for construction crews, tower climbers, utility workers, and confined space professionals who work in high-risk environments. Engineered to meet ANSI Z89.1-2014 Type II and Class C standards, it offers top and lateral impact protection, safeguarding against blows from all directions—top, front, side, and rear.
For example, utility lineworkers climbing poles, or maintenance crews operating at heights on scaffolding, benefit from the reliable 4-point chin strap that keeps the helmet securely in place during falls, slips, or sudden movements.
The lightweight ABS shell combines industrial climbing helmet durability with work-at-height helmet comfort, while the EZ-click adjustable ratchet system ensures a custom fit for all head sizes (6.5 to 8). Multiple accessory attachment points accommodate earmuffs, face shields, and headlamps—making it the perfect Type II hard hat with chin strap for dynamic job sites. A soft, padded antimicrobial liner wicks sweat and keeps you cool in hot conditions.
Clear/tinted visor and earmuff attachments sold separately.
