ERB 19116 67 Bump Cap, Blue

This bump cap is great for working underneath the car so you don't hit your head against the lift arms or components under the vehicle. I saved a number of injuries to my head each time I "bump" into the underside of the vehicle while working with it on the lift. Works better than a hard hat because the space between the head harness and the top of the cap is less than a hard hat that has greater space for protection from falling items overhead. This cap is not safety rated as it's not intended to protect you from tools dropped from 20 feet above you, etc. It's merely to protect your head from bumps under vehicles, etc. Comfortable to wear (sometimes I forget it's on my head).

Nice adjustable hat. I use it for light construction job sites that do not required a full hard hat. Very light to wear for long periods of time and very bright so everyone knows you are wearing a hat. It is not a hard hat so I would recommend it for like jobs sites where there is a low ceiling or areas you might bump your head.

Just what I was hoping the bump cap would be. The ERB 19116 is more compact than a full sized, OSHA hardhat (I don't believe these bump caps are OSHA approved). But I just wanted something for doing home improvement stuff (attic work, car repair etc.). For the hour or so some project will take, this will work fine. Smaller, lighter, more compact but unlikely going to stop and I-beam coming straight for you head.

Good enough to keep you dry in a downpour. Very fashionable. Not good enough to protect you from a baton strike.

Nicely built, good price. But very small compared to other types I've tried. My hat size is in the large end of the spectrum though, so I imagine this would work very well for some one with a size 6, maybe 7. Size 8 or larger, look elsewhere for sure.
