    I like your logic Rupe but I think it's a crock. Sorry mate. I'm self employed and when I go on holiday there is the cost of: 1. The holiday then the loss of earnings. 2. The loss of earnings whilst on holiday. 3. The loss of recommendations generated by being at work and being seen out and about. Point 3 three only applies to small businesses that have to close for the holiday. So the true cost I the holiday can be triple the purchase price of the hotel, flight etc.

    No mate, it was 9.20 yesterday morning. Dead Sycamore to fell and burn then another near dead Syc in the next field to fell and burn. So nice not to have the chipper roaring away.

    Well I've spent two days in my new Protos. The ear muffs are easy to use and are adjustable for pressure against your head for a firmer or looser fit. The cradle is very easy to adjust and the cushions are thick and attached with velcro to make cleaning easy. The chin strap is easier to adjust than the Petzl strap. (I should point out I've never worn any other helmet to climb in other than cheap ones many years ago.) The BIG question is the ventilation. It's the subject that created the most squabbling on previous threads. Well, normally I'd find condensation on the inside of my Petzl Vertex Vent. There was definitely none in the Protos, which was a surprise as I was really exerting myself in the afternoon. There was no breeze at all so I can only assume that the ventilation really does work better than the helmets we are used to. Logic dictates that it should. Super comfy so I like it a lot.

    Awesome. Roof insulation shouldn't be a problem then.

    As Steve Bullman said, If you want loads of lifting ability, get the GRCS. If you want a bollard with some lifting ability, get the Stein. Having said that, It's more about how you rig than which bollard you have. I have the Stein Dual and when I need the extra lifting ability I put a pulley on the rope with a Prusik to create a 3-1. It's not as swift as a GRCS but it works just as well. Points of attachment and working out the angles are really important as well and with some lateral thinking I can definitely achieve everything that a GRCS user could, just a bit slower. But that's fine for me because we rarely need to do loads of lifting. I would have bought the GRCS or Iblings Smart Winch if that was best for my application but they are not and I've never regretted buying the Stein. All are perfect pieces of kit in their own right. Horses for courses and only you can decide which will work best for you.
