Hey Doc,
I tried to do a search for JT USA and found lot's of people selling their products but no one had a link to JT USA. There was no place to find ratings or testing. Most companies that meet ANSI or UL for that matter, want everyone to know. You need to ask this question of the Q&A for a definitive answer, but I'll go out on a limb here. If asked if this headgear could be used in the pit, I would say without hesitation the answer would be NO. I wouldn't want one of my students working close in on a robot with head gear like this. One of the things that the safety rules stress is not only using devices that are safe for you, but safe for all around you. There are a variety of times when you want maximum peripheral vision and this design limits that vision. Not just to your sides but down where you are walking over objects and above to prevent standing up into someone or something. If the pit is a dangerous place for this mask, think about in the queue where it is usually dark, walking over cables, field borders, scoring devices, and other participants.
Sorry.
