ANSI Z89.1 Cap Style Class E Hard Hat Ratchet Suspension Skullerz Type I

Ergodyne Skullerz 8970 Cap-Style Hard Hat β€” Class E

The Ergodyne Skullerz 8970 is a premium cap-style hard hat built for electrical work, construction, and utility environments requiring Class E electrical insulation. A ratchet suspension system delivers precise tool-free fit adjustment, while the lightweight ABS shell keeps the helmet manageable through full-shift wear. Available in a standard configuration and an LED model (8970LED) with a built-in headlamp for low-light applications.

Key Features

  • Type I, Class E β€” Provides top impact protection with Class E electrical insulation tested to 20,000 volts. Required for linemen, electricians, and workers near energized equipment.
  • Ratchet Suspension β€” Tool-free size adjustment provides a precise, repeatable fit. Faster and more consistent than pin-lock systems for frequent donning and doffing.
  • Lightweight ABS Shell β€” Durable thermoplastic construction balances impact resistance with all-day wearability.
  • Cap Style β€” Forward-facing brim provides sun and debris protection; low-profile design works under face shields and in confined spaces.
  • LED Model Available β€” The 8970LED integrates a hands-free headlamp for work in dim or enclosed environments without a separate light source.
  • Universal Fit β€” Adjustable to fit a wide range of head sizes for a secure, comfortable fit.

Compliance

Meets ANSI/ISEA Z89.1 Type I, Class E. The Class E (Electrical) rating certifies the helmet against dielectric testing at 20,000 volts β€” the highest electrical protection class in the ANSI Z89.1 standard. Suitable for utilities, electrical contractors, and construction sites with energized line exposure.

Gets hot with the extra padding.
It's a fairly high quality hardhat. Better than all I have worn. The extra padding can be hot on your head, but it can be removed, washed and replaced unlike most hardhats.

Good Hardhat
I like this hardhat a lot, comfortable to a point but like all hardhats I've worn I wear it because I am required to not because I enjoy wearing a hardhat all day. Is there a mount available either by Skullerz or another party to go in the light mount slot to hold a camera such as a go pro or other? I am also buying the red safety light for the back as I do highway maintenance and want to be as visible as possible since half of my shifts are nighttime.

really weak ratchet suspension.
Maybe in my particular case i notice this flaw a lot, and this may not apply to your trade. Thats my disclaimer.Now with that out of the way im a scaffolder and i often have to look upwards. This helmet usually slips right off my head when i do.I took away two stars because of this but i realize this may be a problem that other users wont have .
