OVERVIEW

Superior Head Protection with Fibre-Metal SuperEight

The Fibre-Metal SuperEight E2 Cap Style Hard Hat in Blue represents the gold standard in industrial head protection. Designed for professionals who demand both safety and comfort, this helmet features the renowned SuperEight suspension system. Unlike standard hard hats that utilize four or six points of contact, the SuperEight system employs eight distinct load-bearing points. This advanced engineering distributes the force of an impact over a much larger area of the head, significantly reducing the concentration of force and minimizing the risk of injury during hazardous events. Whether you are working on a busy construction site, in a manufacturing facility, or performing utility maintenance, this hard hat provides the reliable barrier you need against falling debris and overhead hazards.

Constructed from a specially formulated thermoplastic material, the E2 series shell is built to withstand rigorous daily use. It offers exceptional heat resistance and durability, ensuring it maintains its structural integrity even in challenging environments. The smooth crown design is not just aesthetic; it serves a critical safety function by helping to deflect falling objects rather than trapping the energy of the impact. This glancing effect further protects the wearer's neck and spine from excessive force. The vibrant blue color also assists in personnel identification, allowing safety managers to color-code teams or designate specific roles within a worksite.

Comfort is paramount when wearing safety gear for extended periods, and the Fibre-Metal E2 excels in this area. The included Rhead8 ratchet suspension allows for precise and easy adjustments. With a simple turn of the knob, users can tighten or loosen the fit without removing the helmet, ensuring a secure hold that doesn't slip during active work. The suspension is designed to sit lower on the head, improving balance and stability, which reduces neck strain over the course of a long shift. Fully compliant with ANSI Z89.1 Type I, Class E and G standards, this hard hat offers high-voltage electrical protection, making it a versatile choice for electricians and utility workers as well.

FAQ

The SuperEight suspension uses 8 load-bearing points to distribute impact energy over a wider area of the head, whereas standard suspensions typically use only 4 or 6 points. This results in greater stability and better impact protection.

Yes, the Fibre-Metal E2 Cap Style Hard Hat meets ANSI Z89.1 Type I, Class E and G standards for impact and electrical protection.

This model comes with the Rhead8 ratchet suspension. You can adjust the fit by simply turning the ratchet knob at the back of the headgear to tighten or loosen it, even while wearing the helmet.

Yes, Fibre-Metal hard hats are compatible with various accessories. You can typically use a Speedy-Loop or Quick-Lok mounting system to attach face shields or welding helmets, though the mounting hardware is sold separately.

The shell is constructed from a durable thermoplastic material that offers high impact resistance and heat tolerance.

Yes, like all hard hats, it should be replaced regularly. It is generally recommended to replace the suspension every 12 months and the shell every up to 5 years, or immediately if it sustains an impact or shows signs of damage.

Yes, the Rhead8 ratchet suspension is replaceable. If the suspension becomes worn or damaged, you can purchase a replacement suspension without needing to buy a whole new helmet.

Class E (Electrical) indicates the helmet is tested to withstand 20,000 volts. Class G (General) indicates it is tested to withstand 2,200 volts. This hard hat meets both classifications.
