i hate getting stuff in my eyes, and when you cant work you cant earn, and if that was your little one in the photo then thats why you should keep your lid on, not for you but for them.

[Stephen Blair]

This is a salient point andy. You would be better off ditching the t shirt than the lid mate. I suffer from tinnitus badly, which can and does seriously affect one's mood. I have also been in casualty twice with corneal abrasions and lacerations from milling, and i can tell you its not worth the risk. If you reallydont like the helmet on ho days try a visor/ ear defender combo for when you are up the tree.

alright lads point taken...

[Stephen Blair]

are you just saying that andy?:sneaky2:we have spies all over the country:001_tt2:

Have u thought of tryin just a lid,glasses and some ear plugs mate? I recently went down this road because i was always too hot. i use the petzl altios helmet and it keeps me lovely and cool. Using ear plugs instead of defenders makes a huge difference too.

[andy goddard]

no point taken ..:biggrin:i shall be wearing a helmet from now on(promise)

[Stephen Blair]

its the ear muffs that is a killer in the heat, i know where you are coming from andy, but if i dont wear ear defenders for more than 30 secs then they hurt like hell, i tried the ear plugs one day after talking to steve bullman, and the difference was great, but i was climbing through regrowth and my big ears got a bashing, and the plugs had a string on them and kept getting pulled out, so i just went back to muffs, and it has rained here for the last 2 months aswell ha ha. but in the right crown then its a winner
