Feature cooling vents along the crown for improved air circulation, a lightweight design for added comfort, lateral contours above the ear for easy integration of hearing protection, an optional four- or six-point ratchet suspension system with a soft, absorbent sweatband and a Glaregard underbrim to reduce reflective glare. V-Gard advance caps are not specifically designed to protect against lateral blows from the front, side or rear. MSA's Vanguard protective helmets must be used if lateral protection is desired.
