MSA V-Gard® 463944 Front Brim Hard Hat, Yellow, Staz-On® Pin-Lock Suspension

The Original V-Gard Design

MSA has sold well over 100 million V-Gard helmets since introducing the trademark “V” design, and the shape has become a fixture on job sites across nearly every industry. This 463944 model is the yellow, front-brim, cap-style version, built on the same polyethylene shell and self-adjusting suspension that’s made V-Gard the reference point for hard hats.

Impact and Electrical Protection

The hat carries an ANSI Impact Rating of Type I, giving superior top impact protection, and an Electrical Class Rating of Class E. Class E hard hats are tested to withstand higher voltage than Class C or G, which matters directly for utility and electrical crews.

Staz-On 4-Point Pin-Lock Suspension

The 4-point Staz-On suspension uses a pin-lock adjustment to dial in a snug, stable fit, and the self-adjusting crown straps help distribute the hat’s weight evenly. The shell is slotted and designed for use with MSA accessories, so add-ons stay compliant with the helmet’s approvals.

Reverse-Donning Capable

Like other hats in this line, it can be worn backwards without voiding its approvals when marked with the reverse-donning logo — a practical option for tasks where a worker needs the brim out of the way.

Fits a Standard Range of Head Sizes

This model fits head sizes 6-1/2″ to 8″, covering most adult users without needing a separate small or large shell.
