You guys should be a bit more candid about your comments. I have spent most of my life in a hard hat (brim to the back). I know many tradesmen who wear their brims backward and I cannot think of one who does it to be cool or as a “fashion statement”. It is practical in many instances and I cannot see any problem with safety. When I am cutting and welding I wear my cutting goggles on my hard hat. I could not imagine pulling my goggles up and down over the brim all day long. I put the ears and the liner in my hat so I can wear it backward. Not only is it more convenient but IMO it is more comfortable. I have lots of respect for the members of this forum but and opinion is just an opinion. I don’t think anyone should be judged by how they wear their hat.
