The Klein Tools Class E Type-2 Hard Hat, Non-Vented Full Brim Style with Strap, Yellow (60489T2) is a non-vented, full brim Type 2 hard hat rated for electrical work. This is a Class E hard hat designed for work near energized conductors, panels and switchgear. It combines a yellow, non-vented Class E shell with Klein's 6-point suspension and patented headlamp mounts.

It is rated ANSI Z89.1-2014 (R2019) HT-LT, Type 2 for top, front, back and side impact, and Class E with testing up to 20kV. HT-LT indicates performance tested at high and low temperatures, and the closed shell is what keeps the electrical rating intact.

A full brim wraps the whole shell, so you get shade on the face and the back of the neck and rain runs off instead of down your collar. The shell is PC alloy, about 13-15/16" x 11" x 11-1/2" (35.4 x 28 x 29.3 cm).

Comfort comes from the suspension and pads. Six points of contact with a pivoting ratchet adjust across hat sizes 6-1/2 to 8, and the padded lining wicks sweat, resists odor and goes in the washing machine. The included 4-point chin strap is padded and detachable, so you use it when the work calls for it.

For accessories, the hat has Klein's patented strap-free mounts plus universal slots on the front, back and both sides. Klein lists the KHH56308, 56048, 56062 and 56414 rechargeable headlamps and the 56063 safety lamp as compatible, sold separately.

Yellow is the classic general-construction hat color and reads clearly on a busy site. On the 60489T2 it comes on Klein's non-vented Class E full brim shell, so the familiar color carries electrical-rated protection. The hat weighs 2 lb (907 g) as listed by Klein. Who should buy it: general construction crews and electrical contractors who want a yellow hat with dielectric protection.
