FM2AQRW15100 - Fibre-Metal Roughneck P2A Red Fiberglass Hard Hat with Quick-Lok & Ratchet

Heavy-Duty Fiberglass Protection for Extreme Environments

The Fibre-Metal Roughneck P2A series defines the standard for high-performance industrial head protection. The FM2AQRW15100 is a Cap Style Hard Hat presented in a high-visibility red finish, specifically engineered to perform in the toughest worksites where standard polyethylene hard hats fail. Constructed from a proprietary injection-molded fiberglass compound, the Roughneck P2A is built to withstand extreme temperatures, resisting radiant heat loads up to 370°F (188°C). This makes it an essential piece of personal protective equipment (PPE) for professionals working in steel mills, foundries, casting operations, and heavy fabrication shops.

Beyond its thermal properties, the Roughneck P2A is renowned for its durability and impact resistance. The fiberglass shell is rigid and tough, providing Type I impact protection that meets ANSI/ISEA Z89.1 Class G standards. Unlike thermoplastics that can soften or warp near heat sources, this fiberglass shell maintains its structural integrity, ensuring consistent clearance and shock absorption in the event of an impact. The material is also highly resistant to chemical attack, adding to its longevity in harsh industrial atmospheres.

Integrated Quick-Lok System

This model comes pre-equipped with Fibre-Metal's Quick-Lok mounting blocks. These blocks are permanently installed on the shell, allowing for the rapid and secure attachment of compatible accessories such as welding helmets and face shields. This integration eliminates the need for drilling or aftermarket clips that can compromise the helmet's safety rating.

Superior Comfort and Fit

Inside the rugged shell lies the industry-leading SuperEight suspension system. This 8-point suspension rig is designed to spread the weight of the hard hat—and any attached accessories—evenly across the wearer's head. By distributing the load, pressure points are minimized, significantly reducing fatigue during long shifts. The suspension features a smooth-turning ratchet mechanism, allowing users to adjust the fit precisely with a single knob, even while wearing heavy work gloves. The result is a stable, comfortable platform that stays in place during rigorous activity.
