Title: You get what you pay for.
Review: I bought two of these hardhats ... one for myself, and one for my boyfriend. We're both union construction workers, just different trades. When I ordered them, I wondered why they were so much cheaper than the very same ones other vendors were selling. When I received them, I found out why. They were dusty, one had a small crack in the rim, and both were expired. (Yes, hardhats DO expire. Look at that barely visible calendar on the inside of your hardhat.) My bf and I still ended up keeping them and using them ... it wasn't worth the hassle of sending them back. I've wacked my head a few times with this hardhat on. I've been accidentally hit with falling nuts and washers. My hardhat hasn't shattered, so it's doing what it was meant to do. I'd buy the MSA Skullguard again, it is the gold standard as far as hardhats go, I just would not buy from the same vendor. (And I'd ask for the expiration date BEFORE making the order.)
