They are comfy but they are like a firemans hat far to big IMO for climbing unless you want to be rescued from the tree when you get your head stuck lol . I would recomended them for ground work forestry though . Kask for me plasma pl all the way unless I was rich enough to have one for chipping

Ah thanks mate ill stick to the steins still the best imo !

Personally, I'm keen on the idea and premise, not the execution. They're a bit cheap quality wise to me, and with a retail of around 180, they aren't getting my money. The shell seems massive compared to other lids on the market.

 

The ear defenders are a bit pants, streamlined to fit inside the shell, are lacking in noise reduction IME. Obviously they are rated to en standard but still not quite hitting the spot. I am used to chipper muffs though, probably makes a difference.

 

And they're only available in garish colours

Andrew t, you obviously have not worn one at work.

 

The helmet dimensions are smaller than a Petzl set because the Petzl has everything hanging off the side of it.

 

It doesn't snag on branches and has better air flow so your head will be cooler.

I got mine the Weekend I think there ok I like the way the ear Defenders go inside the lid

The gopro is on a Slight Tilt but can live with that yes it's bigger then my petzl but the visor is stronger on the protos Overall 9 out of 10

Still can't beat a Petzl Vertex and the most recent version is a winner, its simple and comfy. The Kask aka stein is comfy, Kask are better at making pro cycling helmets not industrial lids for daily use.

Don't were a petzl I have tried one on but don't like the fit . I'm a stein hat wearer and will stay that way until something better comes along could be a while . Ps I do like the protos as a ground hat if you could get it with plain styling also fair play I haven't used it up a tree but to look at it all seems wrong for climbing .

Hmm undecided, the stein is good but i keep loosing screws and i find the muffs don't seal your ear enough.

 

Maybe they should do a predator looking one lol

I tried on on at the Arbshow...the most comfortable lid I've worn and the earmuffs were excellent....but at £186..they can keep it
