This is an actual Carbon Fiber material hard hat made with lightweight carbon fibers. The cap style hat Meets ANSI Class C ANSI regulations for a Type 1 hard hat. Each hard hat comes with a rim grip on the left and right hand side where a person would normally grab the hard hat. This helps to both keep the hard hat surface clean, but also to add extra grip for the hard hat. Each Carbon fiber hat comes with a 6 point ratchet suspension and should fit head sizes 7.0 to 8.0. The suspension comes with a soft padded top to offer additional cushioning for the head. This is truly an impressive hard hat.
