Overview
The Klein Tools Class C Type-2 Hard Hat, Vented Full Brim with Strap, Black (60961T2) is a ventilated full brim hard hat in black with Type 2 impact protection. This is a Class C Type 2 hard hat designed for construction and industrial crews who want lateral impact protection and airflow, with a black shell for crews that run a color code or simply prefer the look.
Klein tests it to ANSI Z89.1-2014 (R2019) HT-LT as Type 2, covering top, front, back and side impacts, with high- and low-temperature performance. As a Class C hard hat it is vented for comfort and does not provide electrical protection.
Airflow comes from vents on the top and large, adjustable vents on the sides. The full brim wraps the shell to keep sun off the face, ears and neck, which matters on long outdoor days.
Inside is a 6-point suspension with ratchet and pivot adjustment for hat sizes 6-1/2 to 8. The sweatband and top pad are padded, sweat-wicking, odor resistant and machine washable, so the liner can go through the wash instead of getting replaced.
Klein's patented accessory mounts hold compatible headlamps without a strap around the shell, and universal accessory slots sit at the front, back and both sides. The PC alloy shell measures about 13-15/16" x 11" x 11-1/2" (35.4 x 28 x 29.3 cm) and weighs 2 lb (907 g) per Klein.
Who should buy it: foremen and supervisors who wear black for identification, construction crews in warm climates, and anyone who wants a vented Type 2 full brim with a chin strap.
