Fas-Trac® III Suspensions

Fas-Trac III ratchet suspensions designed for MSA V-Gard® industrial safety helmets. Extensive customer research shows the Fas-Trac III suspension was preferred by most users over what they were currently wearing because it improved helmet comfort, retention and stability whilst being easy to use with or without gloves. Fas-Trac III suspensions can be ordered pre-fitted on any V-Gard safety helmet or ordered as spares (see matrix below). For simple hygiene or on user inspection, suspensions should be changed regularly. Two different sweatband options are available depending on application or preference: sewn in PVC perforated wipeable or sweat-wicking replaceable foam.
