The MSA V-Gard GREEN Cap Hard Hat is the world’s first sustainable protective helmet, crafted from Green High-Density Polyethylene. This eco-friendly material reduces carbon emissions while offering the same durability, comfort, and protection MSA is known for.

• Sustainable Protection: The MSA V-Gard GREEN Cap is the world’s first sustainable protective helmet, made from Green High-Density Polyethylene (GHDPE), a biopolymer derived from sugarcane-based ethanol. This renewable material ensures the helmet is both environmentally friendly and durable, as sugarcane growth exceeds the rate of harvest, unlike fossil fuel-derived polymers.
• 100% Recyclable: Like traditional V-Gard helmets, the V-Gard GREEN Cap is designed to be 100% recyclable. Made from High-Density Polyethylene (HDPE), it carries a “Number 2 Plastics” symbol, ensuring that it can be reused in the production of a wide range of products, helping to reduce waste and keep it out of landfills.
• Carbon Emission Reduction: The V-Gard GREEN helmet helps reduce carbon emissions and atmospheric CO₂ levels due to its plant-based GHDPE material, providing a more sustainable alternative to conventional helmets.
• Quality & Safety Assured: Manufactured to the same high standards as the traditional V-Gard model, the V-Gard GREEN Cap is third-party SEI certified to meet Type I, Class E under ANSI/ISEA Z89.1-2014 and CSA Z94.1-2005 standards, ensuring top-notch protection. It also holds a USDA Biobased Certification, with 95% biobased content, confirming its eco-friendly credentials.
• Comfort & Fit: Equipped with a 4-point Fas-Trac® III Suspension, the V-Gard GREEN Cap offers comfort and security, providing a custom, adjustable fit for workers across various industries.
• Durability & Service Life: Like the original V-Gard helmet, the V-Gard GREEN Cap provides long-lasting protection with a service life of up to five years, making it a reliable and sustainable choice for head protection.
• Eco-Friendly and High Performance: The V-Gard GREEN Cap combines the trusted quality of MSA’s V-Gard range with a commitment to sustainability, offering superior head protection while reducing environmental impact.
