Milwaukee Tool has expanded its lineup of personal protective equipment (PPE) with the introduction of the BOLT Full Brim Safety Helmets—Type 2 Class C (Vented) and Class E (Non-Vented) safety helmets—delivering a new type of job site head protection for professionals across the trades. The helmets will launch in July 2025.

Offering protection from both top and side impacts, these new safety helmets are the industry’s lightest-weight full-brim safety helmets and are engineered to stay up to 15°F cooler than competitive Type 2 full-brim helmets for improved all-day comfort. Delivering better protection, more comfort, and greater versatility through full compatibility with the MILWAUKEE BOLT System, these helmets provide a comprehensive solution for job site safety and customization.

“Through continuous research and user feedback conducted across the country, we recognized a growing demand for better protection, as well as improved comfort on the job site,” explained Kyle Anderson, Group Product Manager at Milwaukee Tool. “Our new Full Brim Safety Helmets deliver comprehensive impact protection without compromising on comfort, offering an innovative solution for users seeking more protection compared to Type 1 hard hats but prefer the traditional look and feel of it."

Built to meet the rigorous demands of the job site, the Type 2, Full Brim, Class C, and Class E Safety Helmets are ANSI/ISEA Z89.1-2014 Type 2 certified and third-party tested for comprehensive job site protection.

Designed to enhance safety, these helmets offer protection against both top and side impacts while helping guard against environmental elements. The helmets also meet Energy Absorption Capacity clauses 4.2.1.2 (Front), 4.2.1.3 (Side), and 4.2.1.4 (Rear), as well as Retention System clauses 4.2.3 (Strength) of the EN12492:2012 standard, further reinforcing their superior impact and retention performance.

Designed for all-day comfort, the BOLT Full Brim Safety Helmets feature a padded suspension with a swinging ratchet adjustment system, allowing users to achieve a secure, customizable fit with an easy-to-adjust dial.

A five-point adjustable chin strap delivers added stability and slip-and-fall protection. This lightweight helmet's interior incorporates foam padding along the sides with ventilation holes, optimizing airflow to promote airflow for a cooler, more breathable wearing experience. An antimicrobial, washable sweatband and liner help prevent odor and bacteria buildup for improved hygiene and extended product life, ensuring that users stay more comfortable and protected throughout the workday.

For further adaptability, the helmets are part of the MILWAUKEE BOLT System, featuring six total accessory slots (four BOLT slots and two universal slots) that allow users to easily and simultaneously secure additional PPE and accessories. Each helmet includes a BOLT Headlamp Mount—compatible with most headlamps—and a BOLT Marker Clip for quick access to pens and markers. Additionally, users have the option to customize their helmets with company logos or select custom colors to maintain a professional appearance on the job site.

In addition to the new BOLT Safety Helmet flame-resistant chin strap can be purchased separately or included with the Full Brim Safety Helmet to deliver enhanced protection. Engineered to fulfill the needs of the power utility, ironworkers/welding, and electrical trades in mind, the strap is flame resistant and features five-point adjustability for a secure and comfortable fit. This new chinstrap can also be used on any existing Milwaukee Tool Type 2 Safety Helmets, both front-brim and no-brim options.
