What is Reddit's opinion of MSA 475407 Skullgard Full-Brim Hard Hat with Fas-Trac III Ratchet Suspension | Non-slotted Hat, Made of Phenolic Resin, Radiant Heat Loads up to 350F - Standard Size in Natural Tan?

From 3.5 billion Reddit comments

If you're interested in getting one, I'd recommend the Fast-Trac III ratchet-style suspension over the Staz-On Suspension. The Fast-Trac has a ratcheting knob that has easy and solid adjustability and it's only $10 or so more, but totally worth the extra few bucks.

Hardhats are only good for 5 years from their printed manufacture date, so I buy a new one about every 4-5 years and I'm on my 3rd. I've got a lot of old plastic ones around from years ago too, but the Skullgards are my favorite. The come in one size in the full brim. If you're a sheet metal worker, or an iron worker, a lot of those guys like the regular ball cap style hardhat, and those come in two sizes, big and bigger.

A lot of guys are now going with the carbon fiber hardhats because they're lighter, but they have heavier suspensions, so they weigh about the same overall. They are also more sensitive to abrasion and aren't nearly as tough as the fiberglass hardhats in the long run. They also run another $30-50 over the Skullgards.

I swear 75% of the guys in my graduating class got these hard hats.
