Approvals & Standards
Super-V® Caps meet all applicable requirements for a Type I and II (top and lateral impact) helmet as outlined in CSA Z94.1-2005 (Class E) and a Type I (top impact) helmet as outlined in ANSI/ISEA Z89.1-2009 (Class E).

WARNING: Do not mix suspension and helmet sizes. Make sure the sizes match (i.e., standard-size suspension with standard-size helmet). Use only MSA suspensions on an MSA helmet. Failure to comply with the above will reduce the energy-absorbing ability of the protective helmet, which can result in serious injury or death.

Product Information

The MSA Super V cap is for sale in the U.S. and Canada.


The MSA Super V cap consists of a shell, foam liner, and suspension system working together to provide limited impact and penetration protection in the event of a top or lateral blow to the head, as well as limited protection against contact with high-voltage conductors. Represents the latest generation of protective headwear and tested for both top and lateral blows. Flame retardant polystyrene foam liner and nylon sideshield absorb lateral impacts. The durable, lightweight polyethylene shell weighs less than one pound. Fits head size ranges 6-1/2 to 7-5/8 inches. Available in choice of Fas-Trac® (ratchet) or 1-Touch suspension. Offers your custom-imprinted logo in up to four separate colors. Add-on accessories are available, such as faceshield frames, visors, chinstraps, ear cups, helmet lights, etc.

 

WARNING: Super V Helmets provide limited top and lateral impact and penetration protection. They are designed to reduce the effect of an impact or penetration blow, but cannot provide complete head protection. They are designed and tested to comply with the CSA standard and, in most circumstances, should be effective against small tools, bolts, rivets, sparks and similar hazards. However, some conditions can exceed the helmet’s capacity to protect against serious injury or death. Not for use in areas where the chance of severe helmet impact or penetration exists.

 
For the Super V helmet to function effectively, only MSA’s Fas-Trac or 1-Touch suspension designed for this helmet must be used. Use of other suspensions can reduce the protection provided and result in serious personal injury or death. Velcro (a trademark of Velcro, USA) strips, labels, etc. should never be applied closer than ½ inch from the brim in order to maintain dielectric properties. Do not paint Super V Helmets as paint may jeopardize helmet properties. Never use this helmet as a vehicular, sports or structural firefighting helmet.


FAILURE TO FOLLOW THIS WARNING CAN RESULT IN SERIOUS PERSONAL INJURY OR DEATH.
