[TowerTalk] hard hats

[Pete Smith]

I have for years felt vaguely guilty working on a tower without a hard hat, 
but the standard construction type are just too clumsy -- the suspension 
harness inside makes them wobble around on my head, and I'm forever hitting 
the front brim on the tower or antenna I'm working on, plus it restricts my 
upward vision.

There *must* be something better -- recently I saw some "pro" tower guys 
working in what looked vaguely like the "almost no helmets" that some 
Harley guys like.  Someone referred to them as hockey helmets, but they 
looked more stripped down than that, with a pattern of holes over their 
surface (perhaps for cooling?)

Any leads?
