Protos helmets

[silky fox]

I have the pressure turned right up on my defenders...even cuts the chipper out enough for me...certainly my chainsaw. it IS a big ol lid...heavier than a stein or vertex but I got used to it quickly..neck muscles have compensated but it never EVER snags....on anything.....and I like that a lot. And I find you feel completely encased is Safety.

Hi guys , any of you guys got the protos helmet and if so how are you getting on with it, do you keep cool enough and how are the ear defenders ?

 

 

Loads of us have them because they're as comfy as any other but better ventilated than any other.

Also has a higher safety rating than any other.

The ear defenders are rated at 23snr ... That's probably the worse of any on the market and not legal for most types of equipment we use.

Now that's interesting

Pfanner are you listening? .... upgrade the SNR. Good post Matty.

Apart from that and its ability to self destruct (thankfully they provide a bag to collect the bits) it's a good helmet as far as comfort with out noise goes.

I brought it expecting the ultimate Arb helmet there is large room for improvement but I would still find it hard to go back to a stein or petzl.

Yes u know rain guards are for benders but it's a nice addition to comfort...plus it's like a little Cape so you feel like pfanner man

Does it do anything interesting while you're watching it

One of the lads at work got one, I tried it on but it doesn't go big enough for my head!

 

So those with a larger cranial capacity might benefit from trying one on before buying online and finding it too small...
