3M First Base HC24BLK/SP FB3 CLA Bump Cap Black EN 812

Workers in light industrial, maintenance, logistics, automotive, and confined spaces need head protection that guards against minor bumps and scrapes without the bulk of a full safety helmet. The 3M First Base HC24BLK/SP FB3 CLA bump cap is built for exactly that. Its low-profile, discreet design fits under hoods or in tight areas, while the short 25 mm peak keeps your vision clear. The outer cap is made from 100% cotton with large mesh panels for breathability, and the integrated terry cloth sweatband helps manage moisture. An elastic strap with buckle adjusts to head circumferences from 52 to 62 cm. The shell is crafted from ABS plastic for durable impact protection against minor bumps and scrapes. The outer cap is washable for easy care.
