Honeywell FIBE1RW01A000 Fibre-Metal Products Full brim Hard Hat With 3RW2 8 Pt

The Fibre-Metal FIBE1RW01A000 is a full brim hard hat with a 3RW2 ratchet headband and 8 point ratchet suspension, in Superlectric thermoplastic, rated Type 1.

The full brim is the specification and it does considerably more than the cap style it is an alternative to. A brim running the full circumference sheds rain and falling debris away from the neck and collar rather than down them, and it shades the face and the back of the neck — which for anyone working outdoors all day is a genuine sun exposure control, not a comfort feature. Utility, construction, and refinery crews specify full brim for exactly these reasons.

The 8 point suspension is the number worth reading. Suspension points are what distribute an impact across the skull rather than concentrating it, and an 8 point suspension spreads that load over more contact area than a 4 or 6 point. It also distributes the hat's own weight more evenly, which is why 8 point hats are more comfortable over a long shift.

The ratchet headband allows one-handed size adjustment — which matters when the alternative is removing the hat to adjust it.

Type 1 denotes protection against impact to the top of the head. Type 2 adds lateral impact protection.

The source lists electrical classes E, G, and C together. These are distinct ratings with different voltage protections, and C denotes a conductive shell with no electrical protection. Verify the class marking on the hat itself against your site requirement before use.
