Unprecedented safety in a low-profile, cool, and lightweight helmet. The Hardnock T2+ PRO Hard Hat has an accessory rail and standard earmuff slots. It is non-vented to comply with Class E electrical rating requirements. Nuro technology provides exceptional protection from top and side impacts. This hard hat exceeds ANSI Z89.1, Type II, Class E requirements.

SAFER

The US government supported the development of WaveCel technology (National Institute of Health) to help prevent head injury from impacts and falls.

First released in bicycle and snow sport helmets, WaveCel received TIME Magazineโ€™s โ€œThe Best Inventions of 2020โ€ award. WaveCel can absorb up to 73% more rotational force and has up to 98% lower predicted risk of concussion than a standard helmet lining.*

  LOWER

The low profile of HardKnock hard hats results in less head โ€œbumpingโ€œ and โ€œclippingโ€ when working in tight spaces. Their dome is about 1โ€ or 20% lower than standard hard hats since WaveCel eliminates the need for a tall air space than traditional hard hats require to absorb impacts.

  LIGHTER

Due to their lower dome, HardKnock hard hats are lighter and feel more stable for all-day comfort. Weight is further reduced by a variable-thickness shell design, optimized to balance strength and weight.

  COOLER

Unlike insulating impact foams, WaveCel is 93% porous, allowing air to circulate freely through 93% of the WaveCel dome. WaveCel hard hats are available non-vented (T2+ PRO) and vented with top and rear vents (T2+ MAX) that provide a maximal venting area of 16 cm2.

What is the Difference Between Type 1 and Type 2 Hard Hats? (Hard Hat vs Safety Helmet)

What is a Type 1 Hard Hat?

This image has an empty alt attribute; its file name is 04_ANSI_Graphic_Image-1024x576.jpeg

Before we dive into the benefits of Type 2 hard hats, letโ€™s first define what they are. Type 2 hard hats are designed to provide protection to the top, sides, and back of the head, making them ideal for workers who are exposed to hazards from all angles. They are tested to withstand higher impacts than Type 1 hard hats and safety helmets. They also offer better protection against electric shock and arc flash hazards too. Type 2 hard hats are tested for lateral impact resistance, which makes them a better choice for workers who are at risk of being struck by objects from the side.

What is a Type 2 Hard Hat?

Type 1 hard hats provide protection to the top of the head only, whereas Type 2 hard hats provide protection to the top, sides, and back of the head. This makes Type 2 hard hats a better choice for workers who are exposed to hazards from all angles. Additionally, Type 2 hard hats are designed to withstand higher impacts than Type 1 hard hats, making them a better choice for workers who are at risk of being struck by falling objects. The WaveCel Hard Hat takes this a step further by offering superior protection against rotational impacts, which is not something that Type 1 hard hats can do.

By the Numbers

In comparison, Type 2 hard hats offer a more comprehensive solution. They provide extended protection to the top, sides, and back of the head, ensuring workers are shielded from various angles and potential risks. Type 2 hard hats excel in offering defense against lateral impacts, as well as electrical hazards. The WaveCel Hard Hat, with its exceptional protection against rotational impacts, sets a new standard in head protection, elevating safety to a whole new level. While safety helmets have their place, Type 2 hard hats provide enhanced overall protection in demanding work environments.
