PYRHHSL-YELLOW - Pyramex SL Series Yellow Cap Style Hard Hat with Ratchet Suspension

Technical Overview: Pyramex SL Series Type 1 Hard Hat

The Pyramex SL Series Hard Hat in Yellow (SKU: PYRHHSL-YELLOW) is a premier solution for industrial head protection, engineered to meet the rigorous demands of modern worksites. This safety helmet is constructed from High-Density Polyethylene (HDPE), a material selected for its high strength-to-weight ratio, chemical resistance, and durability under varying environmental conditions. The shell features a low-profile design, which significantly lowers the center of gravity, providing the wearer with better balance and reduced neck strain during prolonged use. The cap-style architecture includes a functional rain trough along the sides and rear, effectively channeling water away from the user's neck and face in inclement weather.

Central to the helmet's performance is its 4-point ratchet suspension system. This mechanism allows for precise fitment adjustments via a simple turning knob, enabling users to secure the helmet comfortably to their head size (typically fitting sizes 6 1/2 to 8). The suspension points are designed to absorb and dissipate impact energy, reducing the force transmitted to the wearer's head in the event of a top-impact incident. The brow pad is manufactured from soft, moisture-wicking material that is both washable and replaceable, ensuring hygiene and comfort are maintained over the product's lifespan.

Compliance and versatility are key attributes of the SL Series. This hard hat meets ANSI/ISEA Z89.1 standards for Type 1 impact protection (top impact) and holds electrical insulation ratings for Class E (Electrical, tested to 20,000 volts), Class G (General, tested to 2,200 volts), and Class C (Conductive). Furthermore, the shell incorporates universal accessory slots, making it fully compatible with a wide range of PPE add-ons, including cap-mounted earmuffs, face shields, and chin straps. This integration capability makes the Pyramex SL Series a versatile platform for comprehensive personal protective equipment strategies in construction, utility, and industrial manufacturing sectors.
