Class G Hard Hats (General)

Understanding Class G Hard Hats

Class G (General) hard hats are the most widely used head protection in construction, manufacturing, warehousing, and general industry. Under ANSI/ISEA Z89.1, Class G shells are proof-tested at 2,200 volts, offering limited protection against contact with low-voltage conductors. Keep in mind that this test voltage is not the level at which the helmet protects the wearer to if your crew works around higher-voltage hazards, you'll want to step up to a Class E (Electrical) rating instead. This collection features 34 Class G options from trusted brands like LIFT Safety, Pyramex, Delta Plus, and Rugged Blue, in both cap style and full brim configurations.

How to Choose the Right Class G Hard Hat

• Cap vs. full brim: Cap style is lighter and pairs easily with face shields; full brim adds all-around sun and rain deflection for outdoor work.
• Impact type: Type I guards against top impact; Type II adds lateral protection. Some models here, like the Delta Plus Americana 360, carry a Type 2 rating to check each product page.
• Suspension: 4-point and 6-point ratchet suspensions (found on the Pyramex Ridgeline and Rugged Blue Defender) improve fit and all-day comfort.
• Shell material: Fiber resin options like the LIFT DAX resist heat and abrasion better than standard HDPE.
• Accessory compatibility: Confirm slots for earmuffs, face shields, and lamp brackets if your job requires them.
