Great hard hat. Purchased because I switched companies who allow personal hardhats. Comfortable and like the switch up. Alignment for the liner seems a little off center but nothing to complain about.

It is a very light Hard Hat, the fastening system works to install the Hard Hat in both directions (for welders who wear soft masks), the color is light, it is NOT the dark brown that is usually seen in these Hard Hat. IMPORTANT NOTE: The Amazon driver has left my package at the Garage door, I do not know why he did not leave it at the front door of my house. I could have easily run over the package with my truck for leaving it there.

The Skullgard swing suspension hat was a great buy from MSA. My order was delivered to my house sooner than promised, and was exactly what I ordered. I would recommend this hat and MSA to anyone who wants one!

Comfortable good hardhat I work in concrete forms construction so this does what I need it to kind of wish I went with the traditional harness but the swing harness gives more room for personal adjustment just takes a while to get dialed in right
