Protos Arborist Helmet.

the only fault i noticed is the clip at the back pushes the helmit off my head when i look up. bit of a pain when grounding.

Yes, hygiene kits are available and very simply replaced. The outer shells are also available as spare parts too. See Protos Accessories.

 

Protos Integral Forest comes with the standard G16 visor (16 notches per sq cm) with the finer mesh F39 visor (39 notches per sq cm) available for those working with finer sawdust. The visibility through the F39 visor is also better, almost unobscured.

 

Ive worn a fine mesh visor before, but in the rain and sawdust it clogs up and you end not using it. Is it the same ?

Not had that problem. Do you have it all adjusted so that it's sitting too far back on your head, maybe.

Or maybe your neck is too flexible.

is there any chance of higher rated ear protection

 

That's definitely something Protos are looking at.

Did you have a go at adjusting the height of the clip at the back?

 

 

I bought it from a shop called Poelbosbouw in Holland.

Hi Wolter

 

Thank you so much for your assistance putting me in contact with your friend Lars at Poelbosbeow. What a nice guy, he even phoned me to tell me it had been shipped before I had paid for it. He also gave me loads of tips for fitting it.

You need to change your photo. Thats a real bad look you have wearing that old helmet!

 

Anyway, Update!!!

I carried out a Yew reduction last week. We all know what Yew trees are like inside, a thousand twigs that hook under the earmuffs and visor attachments.

I didn't have a single snag because all the visor and muff mountings are internal so it was one less hassle.

Very impressed.

[Treespotter]

Especially impressive because the visor has got such a snug fit when it's closed. Nothing can get in between the helmet and visor.

 

It's going to take a couple of weeks before a can take another climbing picture Al, but I am getting there very rapidly.

Bobh mentioned this adhesive called Sugru so I bought some and it's amazing stuff.

I've used it to fix the helmet mount on to my Protos. Perfect!
