OccuNomixVulcan Cowboy Style Hard Hat with Suspension

Useful and cool.

I have a yard that is a potential hazard. I'll be honest, I love my house, and I love my yard, but I'm beginning to think my trees are trying to kill me. I have a lot of old oak trees in my front yard. They have the annoying habit of unpredictably dropping large branches in no discernible pattern. I am trying to mow my front yard without suffering massive head trauma, so I did some research and invested in this hard hat.This is a real hard hat, with real ANSI safety ratings, and an adjustable harness for your head. It is comfortable (as comfortable as a hardhat can be), and it has the added benefit of shading my face and my neck in the Florida sun while I am working. Although it has not been put to the ultimate test, it has nonetheless shielded my head from smaller swinging branches and other things that would have given me a decent headache, instead of just making a loud 'thwock' sound.While I am not willing to undergo the ultimate test of this hardhat for the purposes of this review, I am a lot less jumpy when mowing my front yard now. The product was reasonably priced and has held up well in the last six months since I purchased it. I would certainly recommend this product for someone in the market for a safe, comfortable (if slightly unconventional) hard hat.

I saw this and thought it'd be a great gift for my Aunt that works in construction. She laughed when she saw it and wore it to work to show off to the other workers. She works on historical buildings and frequently has to repel outside of skyscrapers. She was wearing this hat when she walked underneath of some scaffolding. A worker up on the scaffolding knocked a trowel off while he was moving around. It fell right onto the hat. It barely made a scrape in the hat, but it could have been devastating if she hadn't had it on. What started out as a gag, has now become her trademark.

Even in USA it seems to be exotic, so in Russia it is EXOTIC. Took it to my 2-month shift in remote gold mine, and it caused a sensation here!So advantages:1) Wide brims really protect from sun. And even better they protect from rain. In sunny weather it is rather hot in it, but in rainy - perfect. Face, neck, are all dry, and water from hat doesn't drop on back. If it is necessary to remove water from it - slightly lean the head, and it will flow down, but forward, not on feet.2) It looks more massive, solid and strengthened comparing to my standart helmet. If I translated ANSI Z89. 1 Type 1, class E & G properly, it is more electric-resistant (20 000 V vs 1000 V of standart). Also wide brims can save from side shocks.3) And of course it looks attracting, exotic and stylish! So if You want to be in the center of attention - take it. Though sometimes attention can be not the way You like as it is 100% American spirited, and not everyone likes it.And about drawbacks:1) It doesn't have chin belt to fix it, and no place to what it is possible to attach.2) Joint between suspension and hat is not too strong. So if You will shake head intensively, or will have strong headwind - it can unjoin from suspension. I guess, if it will have chin belt - in these cases hat will fly away and You'll stay in suspension only.3) I ordered several hats, and one didn't had suspension included, so I had to buy it additionally and wait. As I see on other reviews, sometimes it happen...4) I was not allowed by my safety department to wear it in industry areas of my workplace, only in living areas. As it is not certificated in Russia and doesn't have chin fixing belt... Honestly, for me it was not too bad as I didn't plan to crack it or make it dirty, standart helmet is for this. But beware, not every employer will allow to use it as standart helmet.

This is a very well priced product for work place safety. The headband was easy to install

El garnes de seguridad llego. Roto no sirbe

Me agrada el color. Y sobre todo no pesa mucho

The hard hat arrived on time in Good condition and as described. The knives to loosen and tighten the suspension system didn't function at all. Fortunately I ordered and additional one when I ordered the hard hat to have a spare. Well I no longer have a spare but at least it is now a functioning hard hat.

Esta de muy buena calidad los materiales. El diseño perfecto y cumple con su objetivo dentro del trabajom

I looks cool. Big plus. Not accepted on all European construction sites but I've used it on many. Especially outside the Europe I had no issues so far.

It fit my cowboy hard hat perfect and it’s really comfortable.

No le doy 5 estrellas porque la talla es un poco pequeña (o mi cabeza muy grande) y es talla única

Really pleased with this purchase.
