which helmet?

[d-raittuk]

Hi all, I am needing a new helmet. Having been away from the trade for a couple of years it seems the selection of head protection has widened a tad.

said helmet needs to be for ground use. My budget is around the £100 mark.

ideas please before I make the trip to my local arb emporium and get further confused by the salesman.

And please no one sudgest a nasty orange pee pot with a 'h' on the front.

 

Ta very much

 

hi we're using the Stein Super Plasma PL and the Pfanner Protos Arborist Integral helmet no complaints on either nice in the tree as well

So you mean that they were banned as a climbing helmet? I can't see why anyone would use the chin strap while working on the ground.

 

defo banned from up the tree.

Why not have strap done up on the ground? What If you fall and knock your helmet of then knock your head? One big construction site expected four point fixing helmets with straps done up at all times , so we ended up complying to those regs.

Thats the old one...long since gone. The current climbing helmet is based on the petzl alveo with husky attachment set.

Fair enough. I thought Carillion were anal but that beats them.
