Semi retired so using up old stock, plus a tight jock.

Knew someone who always wore a bandana under his chainsaw helmet, but he was Canadian and a twat.

 

I'm not Canadian, but I'm probably a twat, and I always wear a buff under a helmet, whether it's rock or arb. Keeps my beautiful flowing locks under control, because obviously I have to pony tail it all instead of having my usual twat knot. Because you aren't allowed to cut a hole in the top of your helmet to accommodate it.

 

To the OP, I recommend wearing a buff under your helmet, even in warm weather, as it helps sweat to evaporate instead of accumulate.

I agree that your skin will toughen up in time & and when you’re doing the job full time the frown lines on your forehead will work like guttering ,

My forehead gutters are shite then, the downpipe runs straight into my eyes

try putting a buff over your head under the helmet, the tail helps keep sun of but rain always finds a way.

You’ll sweat less when you get more used to the work!

What helmet are you using?

By 9am I may as well have been in the river I’m that bad… 

After how long should I be used to the work?

I shall look in to the buff till I get more used to the job full time. Thanks

Dunno, didn’t know there were so many heavy sweaters out there.

My climate here in SW France is much hotter than yours in Scotchland.
I am mostly arb as opposed to forestry though, so spend most of the day shagging housewives in air conditioned comfort for a grand a day, which helps of course.
