A rigid shell held off the skull by an internal suspension harness. Type 2 means it is rated for side impact as well as top; Class E means it is tested for electrical insulation. Look for a ratchet suspension you can adjust with one hand, and check the date stamp moulded inside the brim - shells age out, usually within five years of manufacture.
Buying tip
Type 2 protects from side impact, Class E from electrical. Many sites require exactly this rating.
Heads-up Check if your employer supplies PPE before buying your own.
