Product Information
Full details
The MSA V-Gard 520 Peakless Safety Helmet is designed for professionals working in environments requiring excellent upward visibility or operating in confined spaces. Its primary benefit is the unobstructed upward field of vision combined with robust protection. A key consideration is that chinstraps are sold separately. This helmet features a UV-stabilized ABS shell, scratch resistance, a peakless design for enhanced visibility, a built-in rain gutter, lateral crushing protection, and the comfortable Fas-Trac III suspension system with a wheel ratchet and PVC sweatband. It also includes standard slots for attaching accessories like visors and ear muffs.

FAQs
Is a chinstrap included with the helmet?
No, chinstraps (available in 2, 3, or 4-point configurations) must be purchased separately.
Can I wear this helmet with safety glasses?
Yes, the peakless design allows for easy integration with safety glasses. For full protection, consider attaching an MSA visor via the side slots.
What does 'Electrostatic-Ineris certified' mean?
It means the helmet is certified to prevent the buildup and discharge of static electricity, making it safe for use in environments with explosive atmospheres (ATEX Zones 1, 2, 20, 21, 22).
How do I clean the helmet?
Clean the shell and suspension with mild soap and water. Use a damp cloth for the PVC sweatband. Do not use harsh chemicals or solvents.
What standards does this helmet meet?
It conforms to EN 397:2012 (industrial helmets, including 440V AC resistance) and EN 50365 (insulating helmets for low voltage work). It is also tested according to EN ISO 80079-36:2016 for ATEX environments.
Can I attach hearing protection to this helmet?
Yes, the helmet has standard slots that allow for the easy attachment of MSA ear muffs.
What is the benefit of the peakless design?
The peakless design provides an unobstructed field of vision, particularly upwards, which is essential for tasks at height or in confined spaces.
Troubleshooting
Helmet feels loose or unstable
Adjust the Fas-Trac III suspension wheel ratchet for a tighter fit. Ensure the chinstrap is properly secured.
Difficulty attaching accessories (visor, ear muffs)
Ensure the accessories are MSA-compatible and designed for the V-Gard series. Align the accessory clips precisely with the helmet's slots.
Sweatband becomes soiled or worn
Wipe the PVC sweatband with a damp cloth and mild soap. For significant wear, the sweatband can be replaced (check for availability).
Helmet shows signs of wear or damage
Immediately discontinue use and replace the helmet. Any damage can compromise its protective capabilities.
