The Klein Tools Class C Type-2 Hard Hat, Vented Full Brim with Strap, Orange (60861T2) is a vented, full brim Type 2 hard hat. This is a ventilated hard hat designed for summer work, attics, rooftops and other hot spots where there is no electrical exposure. It pairs Klein orange on a vented Class C shell with Klein's 6-point suspension and patented accessory mounts.

On the protection side, this is an ANSI Z89.1-2014 (R2019) HT-LT Type 2 hat, so it is tested for impacts from the front, back and sides as well as the top, and across hot and cold temperatures. The Class C rating is the catch: Class C hats carry no electrical protection, because the vents open the shell.

Ventilation is handled by vents on the top and sides, with large, adjustable side vents that Klein says meet stringent industry standards. Open them for maximum circulation in heat, close them when it turns cold. The full brim shades the face and the back of the 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.

This is the vented version in Klein's signature orange, a high-contrast color that stands out on most sites. Pick it for hot-weather work where you do not face electrical exposure. The hat weighs 2 lb (907 g) as listed by Klein. Who should buy it: trades working in heat without electrical hazards who want a Klein-orange vented hat.
