I've had a chance for a direct comparison with the Pyramex version of this product, which does not carry the 3M brand or the UV sensor. The sensor is important, especially if you work outdoors with your hardhat, as UV light can break down most plastics.That makes the 3M hard hat better for working outdoors. I would recommend the Pyramex for those working more often indoors, but this 3M is perfect for both, and at a present price-difference of only $5, it seems like that extra $5 is worth it for safety equipment that won't cop out when you need it most. A good hard hat isn't just handy to have, it can save your life.The harness can be a bit tricky to install, but the instructions on the bag make it clear enough how to install it, and from there, it's easy to adjust so that no matter what size your head is, or how you keep your hair, you'll be well-protected with this. Additionally, this hard hat features vents along the top ridge, meaning it's much better for working outside than the Pyramex, as the hot, moist air of your scalp can ventilate more readily.
