Safety Helmet Choice

[Perchy]

So Im looking for a new Helmet. And i want the STIHL VENT PLUS ARBORIST HELMET, but it says its not suitable for ground work...

I spend more time on the ground cutting than up in the tree. Does anybody use Arborist helmet both on ground and up in the tree..? I dont want to have to buy two helmets, when i feel the one can do both jobs..?

I wear my climbing helmet on ground and climbing, but i wouldn't wear a ground helmet in the tree though due to chinstrap.

I just have the one helmet. I think the only thing that differentiates the 2 is the beak on ground helmets?

[Steve Bullman]

Other than the chin strap of course

If the Tree Police catch you wearing a climbing helmet for ground work they will smash your head in.

That is true Mark.And if they find you wearing a groundsman helmet whilst up a tree they will most likely Tazer you out of said tree.

Leave the chin strap undone, until you get up the tree :-)
