Not sure how bad it would be in practice, but the divot on the top of this hat seems like it might funnel things that would have glanced off a standard hardhat into a solid impact at the top of the head instead. And the brim could likewise be problematic.
Yeah, I could see the brim being useful for shielding from the sun, but would probably want to use a shape like a pith helmet instead:
That way the brim might actually even offer useful protection, although should still test that it’s not dangerous when you fall off a roof or whatever. Could probably just make the brim out of cloth in that case, though.
From wearing regular ones (okay many years ago working in wood sort of mills/production but not long either) I’m not sure the divot would make much a difference if proper clearance from sides to the inside harness, though guess may force impact in a way not intended for proper safety gear.
Still doesn’t seem quite right to me, cause you wouldn’t want your head knocked to a side if the brim was hit.
Probably a reason they were never designed in that way.
