The brim could cause an issue. Imagine two items falling in rapid succession. With a bowl helmet the first one glances off, second one hits and you’re protected.
Now with the cowboy hat, first one hits the brim and flips the hat off your head. Second one…. Yeah, that’s gonna suck.
Yep. Firefighting helmets have a strap for that reason.
I think that it’d be way better to loosely attach a thin, lightweight, cardboard or thin plastic brim to a ‘real’ hardhat than use one of the faux cowboy hats.
