Hi PAUL COLD START here mate thanks Jon

Since i met my woman i have been trying not to spend too much time on here so as not to seem dis-interested in her (which i most certainy am not) She has brought a calm into my life that i have not felt for nearly two years after i broke up with Mrs Fox...apart from the obvious physical benefits of a relationship she has lifted my spirits emotionally too! Life is 110% better than ever!!......having said that i have missed Albtalk a lot.I used to spend about 5 hours a day on here...Just tree related stuff. Climbing...Chainsaws...tree trucks,equiptment,gear and the like. But after a wonderful week with her i find myself back in my room and able to re-group. Needed to share this. After about a year and a half of use my Visor had developed a tear which last week became a hole.I am a big fan of PPE and especially eye protection.From the moment work begins my visor is down and stays down until saws and chipper are off.Everything on a Protos is replaceable so picked one up.

10 million pounds was spent in the development of this helmet and it shows in my opinion.

[silky fox]

Not cheap but well worth it in terms of quality and protection.

[silky fox]

It's a work of art...

[silky fox]

The little details such as the red rubber strip make it one of the most advanced i've used

[silky fox]

My first was a Stihl with a large peak a couple of ventilation holes and a leather chin strap...then i moved to an white Oregan "linesman" which i modified with the Husqvarna defenders and wide visor....then various Petzel Vertex vents until i discovered this.

Works for me and i'm happy with it.

A friend has recently got one of those helmets. His has the fine mesh which is great for keeping out fine sawdust, but when it rains the rain sticks to the front and he can't see properly out of it, have you found this Paul? I was thinking that maybe a spray with WD40 may help repel the rain?
