Pfanner protos helmet

[Thesnarlingbadger]

Not a chainsaw but closest I could find.

Just wondering if anybody uses these and would you recommend them at all? I figured I've had my petzal lid for a good 7 years now and it's getting a bit smelly.

I guess what I'm getting at is it worth the money when it's likely to spend the next 7 years on my head day in day out?

Thanks in advance.

Got no input on the helmet, just that you mentioned about your helmet being smelly! Mine literally crawls away, it's rank.. I wash the padding every now and then but it doesn't last. I'd be interested to hear anyone that has experience with a lid that doesn't kick up after a week of wearing it!

Tried one on once, it didn't seem to adjust big enough for my massive skull so went with the stein instead. Worth noting if like me you have a big head

Been wearing one for over a year now....they are very comfortable and Arbordynamic 😆

Don't have the noise cancelling of say, Sordin /msa Chipper spec defenders but adjust the pressure on the dial to suit.

Petzl Elios or black diamond half dome. But I don't wear ear defenders which makes a big difference to sweat levels

One of the boys at work has one,but after 3 days of dark side of the force,luke i am your father and your powers are weak old man jokes,he retired it.

Tbf its rated as a really safe helmet-pity it makes you look like a helmet too.

Ah that's good to know. I do like the look and the idea of them

Is it a climbing helmet ? I'd have gone for the climber's talk section
