Stein Arborist Helmet

[Peter]

jonsie which petzle is EN397

 

The Vertex ST, easily distinguished by its yellow buckle on the chinstrap.

Sorry bob your right it's the same EN12492 its the Huski helmet thats EN397

[Peter]

Justin, if the buckle is the only difference between the vertex and the ST, could you stock the yellow buckles for groundworkers?

I think peakless helmets for groundies who work with climbers are every bit as useful as peakless helmets for climbers.

[Jonesie]

It would be the same price as the vent and i dont think it will be sell as well as there is not as much air flow around the head.

[Peter]

True, wonder why they dont make a Vent ST?

 

Anyway most employers dont really know or care whether their employees should wear 397s or 12492s.

Yea we know that but as they are new we are stocking them both to see how they go, we will them adjust our stocking levels to suit the trend.

neither do a lot of employees

i know which one i would rather have on if something were to hit me on the head or if someone felled a tree size piece of epicormic i was using to stand on so as not to swing into the tree stem

Surely no-one would be callous enough to be that?

[Arbocop]

one little thing i thought dN should be DaN deca newton as in ten newtons ergo 50dn would be circa 50kg not 500 as 500 would snap your neck???

 

and my erlier comment about bit more for your mony on the petzle is based on owning both of the KASK, the petzle the future safty a huski and well several others and wearing them all for different work. i prefer the KASK aka stign for comfort and balance but it is defenantly less plastic and genneral bulk than the petzle.

 

 

but had the kask on today

cheers all
