 Help Wanted! A member of the ARES team in Kleberg County, Texas wants a hard hat like those previously offered by W7WW at emcommsupply.com. These are made by Bullard, red shell, six-point suspension with reflective lettering for your first name and callsign. I would have included a picture but it won't get posted.  An email to Rob hasn't gotten a reply but does any ARES RACES member know where similar hard hats are sold. The ARES team likes the red shell/white lettering combination.  The group is only ten members so we won't look to buy an entire lot.Your help appreciated.

Try Bullard directly at 

http://www.bullard.com/PRODUCTS/INDSAFE/hiviz.cfm

I'm not sure if they supply directly to the public but it's probably the
best place to start and there is a list of distributors.
