For added versatility, the hard hat features accessory slots to accommodate 3M’s cap mounted ear-muffs, headgear, face shields, and welding helmets (all sold separately).

From the Manufacturer

3M™ Hard Hat H-700 Series with 4-Point Ratchet Suspension is comfortable, tough and lightweight protective headgear that helps protect the head from small falling objects and fixed objects that may be bumped into.

A hard hat with comfort and adjustability features
A 4-point ratchet suspension adjusts easily to allow for a customized height and fit that best suits the individual needs of the wearer. The ratchet system allows tightening or loosening the fit without taking the hard hat off. Workers wearing this hard hat will also appreciate its low profile design and balance, which provide for a more comfortable and less obtrusive feel. A short brim allows for upward visibility, a feature that can enhance both safety and productivity. The soft brow pad cushions the forehead and is removable for easy replacement.

Designed to work with essential safety accessories
For added versatility, the hard hat features accessory slots to accommodate 3M’s cap mounted ear-muffs, headgear, faceshields, and welding helmets (all sold separately). A hardhat is commonly worn in these industries: heavy and light industrial, construction, oil and gas, road work, forestry, and mining.

Meets industrial safety codes
This hard hat meets requirements of ANSI/ISEA Z89.1-2009 Type 1, Class C, G and E. The hat may be worn in either the forward or reverse donning position. Hat weighs 12.8 ounces.

Available in a variety of colors
Photos on this page show the hard hat in yellow or white for illustration purposes. The 3M Hard Hat H-700 Series is available in multiple colors. Please refer to the ordering table to make your color selection.

The importance of head protection at worksites
The rigid shell of the 3M Hard Hat H-700 Series helps reduce chances of injury by deflecting small falling objects from striking the head. The hard hat also helps protect from injuries due to bumping into stationary objects such as pipes, rods, shafts, construction timbers, branches, or exposed electrical conductors. The suspension system inside the hard hat helps absorb the effects of the impact to dissipate the force. Even small objects can cause significant injury due to the force built up from the momentum of falling. Something as small as a washer or coin can strike with the force of several pounds if it falls far enough. 3M hard hats reduce the impact if a strike occurs.

    I wouldn't know if this is "light weight" "comfortable" or "durable" because it clearly doesn't fit together. There are two slots in the front that are big enough for the frame but if you get one side in good luck with the other side. Yes I did loosen it to its fullest. I couldn't get within 3/4 of an inch. Pictures included. There are also 2 slots in the back, they're too small. Again pictures included.Edit: I'm glad I looked at other reviews, turns out I was doing it wrong. You don't insert the V you insert the thing that looks like a buckle. It all fits and is easy to adjust.

    This product was exactly what I needed to do work in the exposed-beam attic in our house. I like the color being a botanist (think chlorophyll!). Having had a few bumps and scrapes and even slivers in my head, it was an overdue purchase. This is light in weight but strong. The suspension keeps the plastic away from your scalp for evaporation and good skin "breathing." The adjustments were fairly easy, but did take a few moments to assemble. The adjustment knob is simple to operate, and it allows you to have it on loosely or snugly as you wish. I does seem to have a very large size range. I'm 7 7/8 (huge) size so it was nice that it accomodates my head and even larger sizes! I don't know what the Uvicator Sensor is all about...but it won't matter for me...I'm wearing it indoors! Highly recommended.

    There is no foam, even before you purchase it they show you only strap and the hat is in the package, I am surprise at people complaining that there is no foam maybe you should pay more attention to the pictures.
    The assembly is very easy, people need to watch the video posted on amazon instead of writing false reviews that assembly is impossible. WATCH THE VIDEO. Extremely easy assembly.
    The hard hat has 3 adjustable setting, again people are writing wrong reviews. THERE are 3 ADJUSTABLE SETTING AT THE 2 BACK STRAP of the hard hat, you can make it lower or higher.

    If you've never assembled a hard hat before, just know the included instructions are ATROCIOUS and VERY confusing for something so simple. I've assembled quite a few hard hats but for fun decided to follow the instructions. Just, no. Toss the instructions and go straight to the internet or YouTube. Who would of thought something so simple would have such complicated instructions. If you've assembled a hard hat before, it'll be a breeze.

    Instructions aside, it's a nice hard hat. I was able to mount lights, and the fit was quite comfortable. The color was a nice deep navy blue. In my eyes a good, quality purchase, but I just wish the instructions were significantly better.
    It adjusts well, EVERYTHING you need is included (hard hat and suspension), no mounting hardware is included, but again most hats don't include this.

    Every year my dad and I have to bring down decorations for the holidays from the attic. Every time he went up there he would end up hitting his head on at least one of the beams up there holding the roof together. I actually timed it to see how long it would take for him to hit his head, and I think his record for the quickest is 28 seconds, and for the time without hitting his head was 3 minutes. With this hard hat, it's not preventing him from hitting his head, but it prevents him from getting injured while doing it. As a matter of fact he hits his head more now with it on because he doesn't have to worry about getting injured anymore. He did say it sits pretty high up on his head, but that could be a skill issue on his part since he probably didn't put it together correctly. So far we've seen no problems with this hard hat. I recommend, and so does my dads head.

    It's a hard hat. I've never found one that's comfortable on my head, and this one is no exception. I have a big head. I only bought it so I don't have to use a loaner when I deliver somewhere that requires a hard hat. This does everything I need it to do for a reasonable price, and it meets every standard that's required.

    It's possible that a much more expensive hard hat would be more comfortable. I'll never know.

    Sorry, I can't include photos here.

    The hard hat itself is nice.... but getting the suspension installed properly is not obvious. The instructions accompanying the hard hat are TERRIBLE, and the video for installing the suspension does not focus on the crucial information.

    The "human factors" of this design are horrible because the keys on the suspension can fit two ways.
    The way that seems right/obvious is backwards, resulting in the suspension not being tucked up inside the hard hat shell.

    To install the suspension properly, you need to fold over the little plastic rings at the creases, and slide the keys into the slots the other way around.

    Other reviewers have criticized the bad instructions for "similar" 3M hard hat models that differ in color, whether they are vented or not, and whether the suspension ratchets. These all share the "same" design for the slots & suspension.

    The trick: FOLD OVER THE LITTLE PLASTIC RINGS AT THE CREASES AND INSTALL THE KEYS IN THE SLOTS THE OTHER WAY AROUND.

    Not sure why 3M doesn't just say that in the instructions, or post a video that shows the installer folding the plastic rings over.

    Summary: Good hard hat with nice fit & easy adjustment..... once you figure out how to install the suspension.

    I work for a stage company, building stages for various major artists, and I've used about 6 different hardhats from diff companies. Other than just the general heat of wearing one, this is by far the most comfy-while-snug hardhat I've ever worn. Only thing that would make me love this hardhat more is if it had some ventilation slots at the top, but that might mess up structural integrity from dropped tools/etc.
    Usually, even with my buzzcut hair, hardhats grab/pull my (tiny)hairs, making it slightly uncomfy to take on/off, but I have no issues with that with this hat.
    This hat also holds my headlamp well, despite it being shown/described for use w/o a hat, hard or not.

    Also, and I'm sorry to say this, but if you don't get the instructions on the package...well... it's VERY simple. Look at the listed instructions and the pics that go with it. If you still can't figure it out, google/etc it.
