A number of years back I heard about a company in BakersfieldCalifornia
that made a cowboy hat style hard hat for construction use. I searched “cowboy
hat hardhat” on Google and found several sites that carry them.
Even though it’s made for construction workers, it’ll still give a
horseback rider more protection than a ball cap! And it would definitely be a
conversation piece. Here’s a bit of information about the hardhat (posted
on the discountsfaetygear.com Web site):
This Vulcan Cowboy Hard Hat
will spur your workers to wear their head protection even when the foreman's
not around. Compliance with ANSI Z89.1, Type I, Class E, G & C. Outer shell
is of high-density Polyethylene that resists penetration, deflects blows to the
head from falling objects, reduces danger from exposure to low and high voltage
electrical conductors, is slow burning and water resistant. The design features
a custom curled extra wide brim for more UV and rain protection than standard
or full brim hard hats, plus a vintage inspired pinch-front top for authentic
appeal and a date of manufacture embossed into the inside shell. Regular
suspension has an ultra soft yet strong, super comfortable, 6 load bearing
points of woven nylon web with crown strap system that acts as a rugged shock
absorber. 6-Point Squeeze-Lock
sizing adjustment or adjustable 6-Point Ratchet
sizing suspension systems provide a secure and comfortable fit in 1/8"
increments. A detachable plush cotton terry is laminated over soft foam forming
a front sweatband to enhance comfort and snug sizing without leaving marks on
forehead.
