Well...... Just a little test tonight on my "cut down" hard hat. They delivered a brand spankin new Fairchild 4 WD scoop to us yesterday morning so last night I got to be the first to take it underground the damn canopy sits a little less than an inch from the top of my hard hat. If it had been a non cut down it would have been miserable! Let's just say after the beating my hat took from that canopy on every bump I hit it provides more than enough protection! Now my neck on the other hand is jammed down into my spine! Hopefully they are going to raise that damn canopy!


I drive a Fairchild everyday with a regular msa hard hat.. Your neck gets use to all the beatings lol.

May want to try this company. I went to work yesterday and there were another electrician wearing a hard hat that I had never seen. I thought it was a coon hunting light until I asked him. Hat looked pretty nice. felt good too.

Is there something you are wanting to tell us Chris? From Mike P's pics at No 9, I would say someone has a different helmet.

No copying hahaha.....We were going to grab them at the coal show just finally getting around to it. Mike has been running with an OLD school low vein for awhile but having that feature for the hearing protection on the new ones locked me in 8)
