Cowboy Hardhat Let's You Work In Style
The "Original Western Outlaw" is the only Safety Equipment Institute (SEI) certified hardhat in the world. Distributor Maurice Pelletier says the hat is popular with farmers and ranchers who work construction in the off season.
"Because they are adjustable, one size fits all. We even sell hats to young children in youth rodeo. The kids say they hate wearing hockey helmets to ride sheep and whatever else they do, so these hats allow them to stay safe and still look like cowboys," Pelletier explains. "These hats have protective padding and holes for attaching a chin strap."
The western hardhats are made from the same plastic material as ordinary hardhats, but have a textured finish to make them appear more like an authentic cowboy hat. They come in a choice of white, black, straw or grey, and winter liners that cover the ears. The hat is available with both ratchet and pin-lock suspensions. Hatbands are not included, but can easily be added by owners who wish to personalize their hats. Pelletier secured his own hatband with a few dabs from a hot glue gun.
The hats sell for $55.95 (Canadian).
