The Klein Tools Class C Type-2 Hard Hat, Vented Full Brim with Strap, Yellow (60262T2) is a vented, full brim Type 2 hard hat. This is a ventilated safety helmet designed for hot jobsites where airflow matters and electrical hazards are not present. It pairs a yellow, vented Class C shell with Klein's 6-point suspension and patented accessory mounts.

Protection: Klein tests it to ANSI Z89.1-2014 (R2019) HT-LT, Type 2, for impact to the top, front, back and sides, not just the crown. The HT-LT marking means it is tested for high- and low-temperature performance. It is Class C, which under ANSI Z89.1 means no electrical protection rating, the tradeoff for having vents in the shell.

Airflow is the reason to choose this hat. Vents on the top and sides provide air circulation, and the large side vents are adjustable, so you can open them up in an attic or on a rooftop and close them down in cold wind. The full brim adds shade and sheds rain off your neck.

Inside, a 6-point suspension with ratchet and pivot adjustment fits sizes 6-1/2 to 8 and gives full coverage around the head. The sweat-wicking, odor-resistant padding is machine washable, and a padded 4-point chin strap detaches when you do not need it.

Customization: Klein's patented accessory mounts allow strap-free headlamp attachment, so the light sits securely without an elastic band. Klein lists its rechargeable headlamps (Cat. Nos. KHH56308, 56048, 56062, 56414) and safety lamp (Cat. No. 56063) as compatible accessories, sold separately. Universal accessory slots on the front, back and both sides accept other add-ons.

Yellow is the classic construction hat color, here on Klein's vented Class C shell for hot-weather work. Choose it when the site standard is yellow and electrical exposure is not part of the job. The hat weighs 2 lb (907 g) as listed by Klein. Who should buy it: general construction crews in hot conditions who want a yellow vented hat.
