hi all, the front of my air vent on my protos helmet has lifted out of place and i can’t find anywhere that tells me how to fix it or how to take it off and reset it. happened like a week ago. any advice is appreciated cheers

I bought it from a retired Rebel Alliance X-Wing pilot... Compared to my trusty old Husqvarna helmet. The X-Wing has better visability, better hearing protection, fit is comparable. It's early days, time will tell.... Visor doesn't fog up, but it's been warm weather thus far.

Hi all, I recently purchased a Stein Kask helmet to replace my Petzl helmet. I love the helmet but I have one issue with the ear defenders. I use the standard Husqvarna ear defenders (as used on my previous helmet) but I feel that they don't clamp down on my ears/head enough to provide decent ear protection. Has anyone else had this issue? I will either buy some Stihl Peltor ear defenders, or buy the thicker/wider Husqvarna style ones. Have any of you guys had this issue? Any suggestions would be greatly appreciated. Many thanks, Jack

Hi all, I have been qualified in crosscutting, maintenance and small tree felling for a good few months now, and after a good amount of saving from a part time job (im 16), I would like to get another qualification. My issue(s), is that im not sure if my current PPE will work for tree climbing and free fall techniques. I know I will be required to buy the ropes etc, however I was wondering how much of the PPE I use for work on the ground will translate to CS38/9 if any. My current PPE is: Husqvarna forest helmet Stihl function ergo chainsaw trousers, whilst on my course my instructor mentioned that my trousers has no protection around the back, pointing out that they would not be the style used in climbing, is this correct? Husqvarna chainsaw wellingtons (24 m/s), are chainsaw boots mandatory for CS38 /9 or will I be able to get by with my wellingtons? I would also like to know if a normal climbing harness, carabiner and belay device would be of use? Thanks

Hello all, I'm currently training, and i would like some advice on buying a climbing helmet and the cheapest place to purchase it. Thanks in advance! P.S. Does anybody know of any funding that is availiable to get my climbing tickets etc ?

Finally got the X170 attached to the helmet... it's got some flare, should I change the exposure? or just not film into the sun? Another day at the office! Enjoy!! [ame=http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=kDGvT6AxM4U]YouTube - London England Motorbike Rush Hour Ride[/ame]
