Times are tough, and if the newspaper is to be believed, they’re only going to get tougher, which means it’s high-time we all started thinking of ways to tighten up our belts. Cheap hard hats (particularly those that go for $10 of less) are great of doing just that—tightening up the belt a little. Cheap hard hats are available from a number of fine manufacturers, including North, one of the biggest names in the hard-hat industry.
Peak Pin Lock Hat
The Pin Lock Hard Hat from North is a great example of a hard hat that is inexpensive without being of a substandard quality. Versatile and dependable with a grooved HDPE (high density polyethylene) outer shell, this hard hat complies with all ANSI Type I requirements. Best of all, it’s got a price tag of just $5.24.
The cheap hard hats made by Pyramex, another manufacturer known for making excellent products, are also fantastic. Among other features, these Pyramex hard hats include rain troughs to channel moisture away and universal slots for cap-mounted ear muffs and chin straps.
MSA Hard Hat
MSA, yet another industry-leading manufacturer, also makes excellent, cheap hard hats. A great example is their V-Gard Protective Cap. It has a polyethylene shell with One-Touch suspension and, as if that weren’t enough, advanced styling, which not only will you be keeping yourself safe when you wear this hard hat from MSA, you will also look good. Now that’s what I call a bargain, especially since the hard hat only costs $8.29.
So, as you can see, just because a hard hat is cheap does mean that it is also unreliable. Cheap hard hats are a great way to save money while staying safe, something that many first-rate manufacturers, like those mentioned above recognize.

NFL teams across the nation will soon be opening their preseason training camps, and that means there’s no better time to buy an NFL hard hat than right now. No matter which team you cheer for, there’s an NFL hard hat for you. Of course, if you happen to be a Cleveland Browns fan, you may not be interested in putting on an NFL hard hat. Way to go picking Colt McCoy, Cleveland! I’m sure that’s going to work out for you, especially since Cleveland has such a great track record of developing young quarterbacks. Not to mention the fact that McCoy is a really tough guy that’s sure to do well in the NFL. Did you see the way he was easily knocked out of the BCS title game? Wow! They must only make men like that in Texas!
Just kidding, Cleveland! As a Steelers fan I wish the Browns all the best! It also really broke my heart to see LeBron James leave your city. LOL!
Another great thing about owning an NFL hard hat is that fact that you can wear it to work as well as around the house. That’s right, fellows! Since NFL hard hats meet any and all safety standards the government has come up with, you can wear your NFL hard hat to work! Just imagine how impressed your friends will be when you come strutting into the place wearing a shinny new NFL hard hat! It will be as if you arrived in a Lamborghini or Porsche! Freaking wicked!
So, there you have it. NFL hard hats are the only way to go this upcoming football season. Hurry up and get yours today or you may wind up disappointed. NFL hard hats are so awesome I almost went insane while writing this article!! Go Steelers!
