best hard hat ?

[synness4]

busted my stihl hard hat, ear muff, face screen combo whats your input on what I should get!

 

[slowp]

Here are two.

This style is for those nice, pleasant Spring days when all is well, and we skip through the woods releasing the herbal smells of Stinky Bob. Pastels are good for Spring. This hat was sent to a California Logger.

This is more for the rest of the year, when folks are in sour moods, hats are to be flung, or when on show me trips with environmental groups. The sticker was donated by a California Logger.

Hard Hat

I would have to say a hard one would be good. Try one on, hit with hammer and make sure its hard first...:jester::jester:

 

[fearofpavement]

it depends

When climbing, you'll want one that straps on.

When on the ground I wear an ordinary hard hat (baseball cap style), I also like the bugz eyes mesh goggles. Ordinary safety glasses don't work in the humid summers here in Georgia. For ear protection, I wear foam ear plugs.

So you're saying to hit it with the hammer while its on your head???

Why not the Stihl hat again?

Curious why you wouldn't replace with the same? I have the one you speak of, comfortable, serves its purpose mostly. The muffs don't seem to reduce the noise level quite as well as my Stihl stand alone muffs though. I wear foamies as well as muffs so its not really an issue.

Straight up plain Mac-T homie, I'll post up a pic of my one that I usually wear when I get home, it looks like somebody played frisbee witha brick wall with it
for eye protection: goggles are ok, faceshields make you look like a Canadian (not that there's anything wrong with that )
for ear protection: cigarette butts are the only way to go

...goggles are ok, faceshields make you look like a Canadian (not that there's anything wrong with that )

its just a known fact that we Canadians are very handsome so therefore like to protect our mugs... :msp_biggrin:

well i gave up and got a new stihl helmet system.

 

[Log Hogger]

Stihl's helmet system is sweet. I've also been looking at the Rockman systems, they look like they would hold up well. I bought a Husqvarna helmet system but took it back, it seemed like it would fall apart if I looked at it too hard.

I like the Rockman helmets a lot. I have Stihl Helmet systems now, due to my cutters left the Rockman's in their truck boxes and they live 8 hours away, but the Rockmans are the best ones. I have not probems with the Stihl units and like the ones with the plastic earmuff holders a lot more than the ones with the steel wire holders.

I liked the way Huskies felt, but I too didn't think they would hold up, likely that they would or do, but they didn't seem too stout.

That's what it looked like when it got sent to the California logger. This is what it looks like now...it's just worn on special occasions.

You guys go ahead and wear those Roger Ramjet Space Cadet helmets...for everyday logging I'll keep using this one:

Those are not kitties. They are Woodland Creatures. Pastel Woodland Creatures. The only kitties are the Hello Kitties that Twinkle once sported. Sigh. I wonder how Twinkle is doing? :msp_mellow:

 

[tallguys]

Not meaning to hijack the thread but how does that Stihl helmet set-up compare with the Echo, anybody try both of them? They all claim to be built to a certain "standard" but whatever that means...

 

[dave k]

Don't know if you can get them over " there " but have a look at the Stihl Advance Plus helmet is about the most comf I've ever had and has loads of adjustment for head and muff position. Has very good pull down eye shield as well as mesh screen. That said Im treating myself to a new Husky set with their latest radio muffs very nice.

I just go to my favorite industrial supply store and make my own "Canadian" helmet system .
My current helmet is a US made North , Oregon neck guard , Peltor standoffs for the muffs and a Peltor Screen , as things break or wear out I can go back and replace whats needed .

How's a fellow suppose to hang a screen and muffs off of one of them skull buckets ?
