Yeah, my dad works in a similar field and said he finds it hard to get the stihl ear defenders tight enough to his ears and also says the husky ones just feel like they're a better/sturdier build

Yeah they certainly look better quality, looks like the Husky helmets may actually be MSA. I tried the Husky Technical helmet and the visor was amazingly bright.

 

Re the fit, probably better to see what fits you rather than what fits your Dad.

the husky helmet I was issued with at work is basically a rebranded jsp helmet with msa muffs and visor.

Could be, the Husky Classic looks like a JSP, the Husky Functional looks like an MSA, so basically a £5-£10 helmet with a £15 logo.

I'm probably wrong by thinking this but I like the idea of reassurance from it being owned by a big name

Owned by a big name but made by someone with a short name like lu or lee

In the end if you feel more confidant with a Saw manufacturer branded item of PPE go for it, no one can say your opinion is wrong.

 

Personally I don't like feeling ripped off, would I be? maybe, maybe not, I do have a pair of Stihl boots, the only saw brand item I own that isn't a saw.

 

The groundman I was cutting for today was wearing a Husky branded helmet, had a look at it and yeah it's a good tough feeling lid no doubt.

My name is Carlton and I'm looking to gather a list of PPE suppliers for an article I am writing for my new blog PPE News.

 

It doesn't matter where they are located as I want to create a top 5 list for every area around the world.

 

Please let me know and ill add your favourite to the site.
