3M Hard Hat SecureFit H-700 Series Cap Style Safety Helmet with Uvicator Sensor, 4-Point Pressure Diffusion Ratchet Suspension

This is a very cute hard hat. It fit’s perfectly, and my teenager really loves it. The instructions are terrible. Luckily, a previous reviewer had good pictures and instructions, otherwise I would never have been able to figure it out. It’s used regularly for drone competitions, usually in a hot auditorium because they don’t want airflow from the air conditioning affecting the drones. So a tropical climate, with no AC and no fans running during many hours of competition. With no complaints about it getting too hot., so it was well worth the purchase. It’s comfortable, does what it’s supposed to do, and well-made. Just be sure to check other reviews if you have trouble putting it together.

Pretty good hat. Works for me. I struggled putting this thing together until I saw one comment in the comment section that said you don't insert the "forked" end into the slot which I was trying to do and I think a lot of people were trying the same. You want to insert the black rectangular piece that's right above the forked end. You'll see how it works when you try it. See attached picture.

I bought this hat because one of my customers is having construction done and I needed it to be able to visit them. Having never worn one of my own before, I have to admit it was a little hard for me to understand how to put it together. I even asked the hubby, but he could not figure it out. But after a little bit of trial and error (plus a great YouTube video from 3M's website), I figured it out. After that I was ashamed it took so long, because it really is very easy. The hat is durable and perfect for my needs. It is easy to adjust the fit to any head and holds up well. As someone who wears makeup, it is also easy to clean it when the makeup rubs off on the inside. I bought this specific one because it was vented and I can say that really makes a difference when you have to wear it for the entire day. When I was borrowing the customers hard hats that were not vented, my head was soaked after an hour, but with this one, no sweaty head. It is also very comfortable.

I've been in construction for over 20 years and most of the affordable hardhats I've really liked have been 3m. they are priced rite and overall quite comfortable and it seems like 3m is consistently making small improvements to them. this new suspension system is a good example of that and their ability to think outside the box. this is currently the most comfortable suspension I have had on my head. this design keeps the tension at the forehead and at the base of the skull and it feels like I don't need as much tension for it to stay put. while the ratchet strap is the same as previous models, the forehead pad is very different. instead of the typical rigid plastic strap there is a bunch of small basically spring loaded pads that conform to the shape of your forehead and it practically eliminates the possibility of a hotspot. the old style can can sometime put too much pressure in a concentrated line across your forehead and after a while you have to shift the hat or remove it to alleviate the discomfort. with this design I only have to move it if I need to wipe sweat away or something, not because it's uncomfortable. the new suspension is also backward compatible with the older model hats, so if like me and have your name or some stickers on the one you use regularly, you can upgrade the suspension instead of replacing the whole hat. I'm definitely getting more of these suspensions for my other hardhats. overall I'm very pleased with it and cant really find anything negative to say about the hat. I do want to mention the first hat I received had the suspension missing from the bag. the bag it came in had no evidence of ever being sealed so it likely just fell out. I called amazon and as usual they promptly made it right by sending a new hat. this hat also arrived in an unsealed bag but it still had the suspension with it. I don't know if this is intentional or not, but there are likely a lot of them in the warehouse with missing suspensions.

Impossibly bad. I bought a second one because I thought I must have goofed something up while installing the suspension, but no: the instructions and design are absolutely terrible and render this hard hat unusable. Stop selling this one and try again on a new version. I'm not kidding. Do not buy this hard hat

I get it why many buyers were furious with the instructions. The texts are in English, French and Spanish, which makes for a very busy field of information. I was flummoxed for several hours until I realized it is imperative to realize that the hat comes with one of two suspension styles. Once I realized which style I had received, suspension installation was a matter of seconds. I believe the instructions are fundamentally in error, at least regarding the explanation for Fig. 8b. It is for the SecureFit Suspension, which I have. It claims that the suspension can be adjusted to settle the hat itself closer to the skull, but this is not true. Changing the adjustment points only changes where the suspension band fits around one's skull. The crossed webbing is fixed to the suspension keys, which are fixed to the hat, so the hat remains at the same distance from the top of the skull. I am pleased with this product's fit, comfort and value for the price.

Seems like a excellent safty hat , just sits very high on the head. Maybe for safty reason. Love the color and style it's also comfortable just give it the right adjustments for tightness and your good to go.

Great, sturdy hard hat.

Nice product

Decent hard hat, but installing the suspension was a painful process. Watched a bunch of youtube videos and eventually just played around with it and got it somehow. Took over an hour.

Super qualité prix

Great fit
