Ergodyne Safety Bump Cap, Baseball Hat Style, Comfortable Head Protection, Long Brim, Skullerz 8950, Lime

I bought this cap to keep me from whacking my head in the confined engine room of my boat and within a few minutes of putting it on, I had saved myself from two bumps that in the past might have drawn blood. Every time I wear this hat in a confined space, I find there are one or two times it bumps up against something and I say to myself that it has paid for itself yet again. I have recommended them to my friends and know a few have bought them too. While it is not as light or comfortable as a regular baseball cap, it is far better than a hard hat or helmet. I have gone out and about several times while wearing the hat and have not realized I still had it on instead of a regular ball cap. That said, it does not offer the same level of ventilation. If my head is getting warm and a bit sweaty while wearing it in our Houston winter, I can imagine it will be unpleasant in the summer heat. That said, having to deal with blood running down your forehead is worse than having to deal with a bit of sweat, so I will gladly endure the lack of ventilation to get the protection. You can tell there is something different about the hat if you look at it closely, but I think it looks fine. It appears to be well constructed with quality materials.

Excellent quality product , fit perfectly, ventilation is good easy to use & visibilty is quite impressive. Very comfortable and safety is in consideartion with this product.

No, it doesn’t comply to anything that I’m aware of, however, I will tell you, that it’s great for general protection when you don’t need a hard hat.When I’m on the job site, I don’t often need a hard hat as it’s rare for someone to be working over head. I haven’t used it yet, but I am always wearing a ball cap, so if I feel like my head is gonna hit something that I’m crouching or crawling near this is great. I’ve also dropped my own hammer on my head a few times. Today I actually was wearing it around for house work and my metal tool box lid fell while I was putting some tools away, didn’t feel a thing.Long story short, if you are required to wear a hard hat, but still feel like you should protect your head with good ventilation, this hat is great, and comfy.Cons: it’s shape is a little off, but I suppose that the gap between my head and the top helps protect from shock.The back Velcro strap is pretty lame. I wish it was a clip so that I could make is tight and more solid. Again, I’ve used this to my advantage by putting my ponytail through it which helps hold it down.With a better back strap, it’ll likely not fall off.

I suffered a stroke about a year ago and had brain surgery. I am much better now and can do many things like before. Protecting my head right now until my head heals completely is a big deal right now because bumps to the head can cause me severe brain damage. I like to wear the hat when I'm doing light chores just in case so I don't accidently bump my head. This hat has more than paid for itself. Their have been a few occasions when I've accidently bumped into things. The hits have been kind of hard (obviously not on purpose). This hat has taken most of the brute of the force and I've barely felt anything on my head.The hat also looks mostly normal and no-one has looked twice at it. Its also pretty comfortable seeing as it has a hard plastic inside. Understand that this is not a hardhat and will not protect you like a hardhat will. It is way more comfortable and protects me when I'm doing odd jobs around the house.I highly recommend for people that need extra protection on their heads.

I recently had brain surgery, and because I work outdoors often, I wanted a hat that gave some kind of protection for my head. This hat is not heavy and probably is not the best when looking for head protection, but I like it because of its saftey feature, peace of mind, looks like a ball cap and is lightweight. I would buy it again.

I got this protective hard hat for my HusbandAnd he loves it !He likes the way it looks like a baseball cap!It just the right fit ! Comfortable,

Qualifier, I’ve only worn this with a light duty headlamp. So the falling off is partially due to that. 70% the shallow hat, 30% the headlamp.The hat is shallow. I have a normal sized head. If anything, some caps sit too low on my head. This is the first time I’ve experienced the opposite. It reminds me of a yarmulke.The adjustable band is elastic and Velcro with no cinch. So you can only get it so tight, and even then, it flexes. A non flexible band would likey solve this problem. When I wear this hat as tight as comfortably possible, it will often slip right off my head if I lean over too much or for too long.Yes, I have a light headlamp on. But I didn’t have issues with a ball cap. I bought this because to prevent forehead pressure from the headlamp as well as protect my head while working on my car.It’s fine if you’re mostly upright, but if you lean over to look under something, expect it to slide right off your head.

I prefer this style of bump cap over the baseball type. Because it gives great visibility with its short bill. Especially when up in a ceiling in tight spaces. Very comfortable. Great protection against threaded rods, duct work, and any other light construction hazards. But this is NOT a heavy construction cap. Its more for maintenance workers
