Chin straps on climbing helmets.

A proton has straps?  I have never noticed but it isnt my lid.

 

I borrow one on occasion when we need coms. No chinstrap on that lid.

 

Cant say I am a fan of the protos.  I get a hanging headache wearing it and the ear protection is gash.

 

I normally use a Petzl Alveo vent.  Both have chipper rated muffs.  Maybe it is just the difference between the two but I dont feel like there is much noise reduction with the protos muffs down.

They do it in two different versions, protos forestry with no straps and then protos arborist with straps

 

At the end of the day it comes down to personal fit and what shape your head is I suppose. I've had JSP, Petzl and a few other brands and always had hot spots. Took me a good 2-3 days to get the protos set up right but it's a beaut now! If you're head ain't fit for a protos then you won't like them. One thing about protos is they have a tonne of adjustments from sit depth to head size and brow size etc. It takes a long time to get them set up
