Milwaukee Releases New BOLT Hard Hats

Milwaukee recently unveiled the latest addition to their protective equipment solutions: a new 6-point and an updated 4-point suspension-style hard hat. The new hard hats are all about comfort, creating a better user experience that makes you forget you are even wearing head protection.

Each new hard hat is compatible with the BOLT accessory system, which adds versatility that competitors do not usually see. The accessories add another layer to the helmets to make you more productive, comfortable, and safer.

The new Milwaukee Type 1 6-Point Hard Hats offer two additional support straps for improved comfort with a swinging ratchet system for quick fit adjustments. Not to be outdone, the original 4-Point Suspension Hard Hats feature an updated ratchet design that is more durable. The Milwaukee logo has also been removed from the outside of the shell. Both helmets feature a moisture-wicking sweatband that keeps you cool and dry.

Comfort is one thing, but the most innovative feature of the new hard hats is the BOLT accessory slots. They allow for the attachments of several different items to enhance the capability of the hard hat. Each helmet features six slots, including a headlamp mount that can fit most lamps on the market for an easy, secure attachment. The hard hats also feature a marker clip, so you aren’t wandering the job site looking for your marker.

  • You can attach various additional BOLT accessories with the four other mounting points.

Current BOLT accessories include a sunshade, sun visor, and a combination of shade and visor. Heat illness is a big concern while on the job site, and these accessories ensure you stay safe.
