Milwaukee 48-73-1320 BOLT White Front Brim Vented Safety Helmet (USA) – Type 2, Class C

The Milwaukee 48-73-1320 BOLT White Front Brim Vented Safety Helmet is designed for crews who need reliable head protection with all-day comfort on busy jobsites. Rated ANSI/ISEA Z89.1 Type 2, Class C, it helps protect against both top and side impacts, making it suitable for construction, industrial maintenance, and work at height where impact hazards are present but electrical protection is not required. The front brim design gives added shade and drip protection, while the vented shell supports airflow in warm conditions.

This climbing-style safety helmet uses a durable LEXAN polycarbonate shell with a high density polyethylene liner and a 4-point ratchet suspension for a secure, comfortable fit. The swinging ratchet adjustment and five-buckle chin strap help keep the helmet in place during climbing, roofing, or elevated work. Part of the Milwaukee BOLT system, it includes multiple accessory slots so teams can run a headlamp, marker, and other construction safety helmet accessories at the same time. An antimicrobial, moisture-wicking sweatband and liner are both removable and machine washable, helping reduce odor and bacteria buildup between shifts. UL third-party testing and EN12492:2012 performance clauses for energy absorption and retention system strength add confidence for safety managers and end users alike.
