DAX Carbon Fiber Hard Hat - Full Brim Matte Black

One of the lightest hard hats I’ve ever had. Comfortable and durable.

Im going to keep this as simple as possible for some but, give detail for those who desire.I’m a fan of carbon fiber products and was disappointed by the reviews. I decided to order this product anyway since I am a fan of real carbon fiber products, not the “looks like” stuff.-Simple review for me is overall a great product. Quality built and meets ANSI type 1, class C and G as descibed meaning I can wear it on any job site I’ve worked at, especially since 99% don’t check anyways (at least for me).Overall, great product but worth the money to switch out the headband for an MSA fas-trac III for the skullgard helmet (they come in different sizes FYI-standard and large)—I’ve read a few things regarding the weights and the 6 pt headband not being very good.Please see pictures:Carbon fiber helmet weight w/o band: 11.04ozCarbon fiber helmet w/ 6 point band: 16.58ozObvious math is 6 point band weight of 5.53ozJust for reference and comparison:My skullgard helmet w/o band: 13.16ozSkullgard helmet with msa band: 16.68ozObvious math is band weight of 3.53ozI took the fas-trac band from my skullgard before I spent money ensuring it was a proper and a direct fit and it is. It is also lighter Combination using the carbon fiber helmet with the fas-trac suspension band with a total combined weight of 14.57oz.The 6 point headband is not able to adjust in the way that the helmet sits lower on your head since I personally did not like how high it sat on my head. This problem was solved with the msa fas-trac suspension band with a weight saving of 2oz, double plus for me.Hopefully this helps someone.

To start off on this unbiased review, I don’t do these often. I’m an average consumer who buys and uses but never reviews. This is the first instance in my life where I genuinely feel the need to leave a review for anyone in between the line, to buy or not. Buy it. No seriously, the product is definitely worth the price. I’ve used many hard hats but never found one I genuinely liked and WANTED to wear, this is the first one I am excited to put on as it doesn’t bother me throughout the day and I genuinely forget it’s even there. During lunch time I find myself getting into my truck to go eat only to realize half way through I still have my hardhat on, this happens 2-3 times a week and it just makes me appreciate how light weight and comfortable this hardhat is. In regards to general safety of said item and the impact protection it provides, it is second to none. The suspension system is amazing and although it does snag on those with longer hair it can easily be fixed with a aftermarket suspension (MSA Skullguard Size Large). I like the suspension system shipped with this hardhat and I even had the experience to have a nail puller dropped directly on my head, from 17 ft in the air, which I did not even feel the slightest and left NO MARK on the carbon fiber material or finish, I still prefer the other suspension I stated earlier as it sits lower on my head and allows for a better fit. If you’ve read this far, I hope some of the points and experiences I’ve had has led you to decide on purchasing this hardhat. It’s honestly an amazing item and I recommend it to anyone and everyone. Stay safe friends!

Definitely lightweight. Comfortable was exactly as expected.

I've had many hard hats over my career. I've had several Kevlar hats. This is the first carbon fiber hat that I have owned. This the second hat from this brand I have purchased. First, this is a good, clean looking hat. It is light and sturdy. It doesn't scratch very easily. It is easy to keep clean. This is not a painted hat (I purchased the black model). It is the same color inside and out.Now, second. This is the second hat I have from this brand. Both headgear that came with the hats are garbage. At first it is comfortable and stays in place. But it doesn't take long for it to become flimsy and the connectors continually come loose from the hat. My solution was to purchase an MSA headgear. It has four connectors and the one that came with the hat has six. Don't worry, the MSA headgear fits like it was made for it. Haven't looked back.I don't know if I will purchase another carbon fiber hat in the future. It isn't really that different from the Kevlar hat. Same weight, durability and comfort. It also is roughly twice as much as the Kevlar. But, don't regret the purchase. This brand is also readily available and will be delivered fairly quickly, especially compared to other carbon fiber brands. Just make sure to replace the headgear.

This hard hat is great! Lightweight, cool looking, and very comfortable on the head. Probably the best thing is the suspension system. High quality material, and padded for comfort. I can barely feel it on my head. Most hard hats suspensions wind up causing pain in the back of my head after long use. I can wear this one all day without any issues. It is pretty expensive for a hard hat, but the comfort is worth it to me.

Great hardhat for work. I don’t know if the design has changed from the one that I purchased but the stock headband had a sweat band on it that severely irritated my skin. Easily remedied by buying a different headband. The clips that hold in the headband to the hardhat can be a pain at times.

Best hard hat I ever had. Lightweight. Most comfortable hard hat I ever had.Extremely satisfied.
