Howdy all,

I've been using the regular Stihl Helmet, Face Screen & Muff system for some time now and I've got no complaints. However, I will soon be handing the helmet over to my wife and getting a new rig for myself.

So ... I'd like to hear from the folks on the board. Which helmet system do you like best?

It's a bit more expensive, but the new Rockman Lumberjack System (from Bailey's) looks interesting ...

WildDog · « **Reply #1 on:** July 09, 2008, 11:58:45 pm »

I am no logger but have the proffessional Stihl with the peltor type muffs and a new Husqvarna Helmet, I prefer the Husqvarna mainly because of the difference in ear muffs the Stihl has perforated sponge rubber inserts compared to the Husky's solid density, it might be just me but the Husky seems to cut the noise out more and the solid foam doesn't hold water when wet. My Stihl has one muff that springs back out at the slightest touch, I can't seem to fix it. The Husky's face shield is cut away at the bottom to acccomodate for tilting your head down, I also found the sheep skin type brow band on the Stihl to get itchy after awhile.

I had a look at Baileys Rockman it certainly looks like a good product.

Thanks for your time, WildDog. It's certainly not a requirement to be a logger for this one. Obviously, anyone who has experience with saws and helmets will know which one works best for them ...

i have the Husqvarna helmet with face screen and ear protection and i agree it cuts out alot of noise . the price isnt bad for it either.

Maineloggerkid · « **Reply #4 on:** July 10, 2008, 05:22:16 am »

I have tried stihl, husqvarna, and Peltor. I like the peltor the most, because they are the lightest, and they have the spring loaded face screen

stonebroke · « **Reply #5 on:** July 10, 2008, 09:43:32 am »

I contacted peltor direct and had them make up a helmet with the 31 db earmuffs instead of the 22 db muffs. It is much better.

I agree that the open foam sponge of the Stihl leaves something to be desired. I had a problem with the ear muffs not seating correctly. I dismanted the helmet and re assembled it. The muffs tucked in nice and snug after that.
I recently bought a new peltor helmet with a radio and cell phone jack. It is light and comfy. The bit of vinyl that covers my neck helps to keep debris from going down my back. I like that.

OWW: I've read some complaints (on Bailey's) about the ear muff connections on the Peltor helmets cracking. What are your thoughts on this? Does the ear muff system look rugged enough?

Ed · « **Reply #8 on:** July 10, 2008, 01:53:26 pm »

I've used the older Stihl (Peltor) helmet for years. It's held up well even with the abuse I give it.
Theres even been a few parts replaced along the way.......

I'm tempted to order the Rockman since it does have vent holes in the helmet. It should be cooler in the summer.

I would also like to try the Rockman set up listed above. It looks pretty good in the picture and it would be very interesting to see how those vent holes in the top of the hat work.

The existing regular hats set up for chainsaw work are a safety hazard if you wear glasses, I find so much sweat runs out of the hat and eventually drips down and either blinds you or makes it hard to see out of your glasses.

or am I just old and so out of shape that I sweat like an old horse who has been standing around the barn to long.

Has anyone tried on of these hats with the holes?

?

I like a hardhat that is curved to allow room for the hearing protection.
Also one that you can get parts for.

Green Wood · « **Reply #11 on:** July 12, 2008, 07:38:39 am »

I have the Stihl system, but I took the muffs and face sheild of. The sheild bugs my eyes, so I just were some Stihl saftey glasses, and earplugs if I have them, I like em better and they work better than muffs. But the hardhat itself is pretty comforable, It fits extremly well on my head, but that is a more personal thing.

Speaking of removing the muffs... I've got a new Husqvarna helmet, similar to the one shown a couple of posts above (mine has the small orange band on the earmuff pads, indicating higher noise reduction). Has anyone figured out how to remove the muffs without also removing the visor? The hinge mechanism for the visor is part of the muff attachment point. I haven't really attacked it, but after some brief poking around while in the woods, I didn't see anything obvious.

I prefer wearing ear plugs when it's warmer out, and would like to get the extra weight off if I'm not using it. An old neck injury (sports related, not logging) causes me some problems with even a bit of weight on my head if I wear it too long. The helmet is otherwise much more comfortable than my old one.

I like the Peltor that Bailey's sells much more then my Stihl. As for the "old" Peltor cracking, if they are the same as the Stihl, both my foam earmuffs cracked AND the leg holding them on broke.

sprucebunny · « **Reply #15 on:** July 13, 2008, 05:45:30 pm »

I'm on my second Stihl in 8 years. The ear protection ceased to fit tight and the sweatband fell off and the headband broke. Now, I have a good one and a working spare one. Haven't tried another brand since they take alot of abuse and fit well when they aren't broken. I also wear it for a ATV helmet to keep my ears warm or bug free

( ATV helmets not required, here. )

I read the blurb for the Rockman hat and found the language strange; either not a native speaker or failed English composition ! But what really scared me away was the chin strap

I'm NOT having one of them !!!!!

" A self-releasing hook, which is integrated in the headband, against the danger of strangulation. If the helmet is removed forcibly from the head, the chin strap will be released automatically, protecting the wearer from being injured by his own helmet. "

I have the Husqvarna helmet just like Kevin has pictured and I love it. I ran over it with the log truck the other day and had to pry it out of the rear duals. It was crushed horribly but I let it set for a couple of days and it popped back out completely on its own. I straightend out the face screen and now it looks good as new.

WildDog · « **Reply #19 on:** July 27, 2008, 03:38:26 am »

I just completed a 4 day cross cut and tree falling course, the instructor who also audits logging companies and saw mills said in Australia the helmets only have a legal working life of three years, the helmets have a manufacture date stamped in and a place to write in the day of purchase, I think he said you can have one year of shelf life before sale then 3 yrs use, something like that anyway.

He did a test with a 5yr helmet that had seen a life of Aussie sun and a new helmet. The test involved hitting both helmets with a sledge hammer, the old helmet smashed into pieces while the new Husky only suffered a white stress line, ths is something to think about. I went back to work and checked the dates on my field assistants helmets they are all about 5yrs old. I then went to the Stihl dealer who said there is 2 new models coming out and was waiting on a shipment.

Kevin · « **Reply #25 on:** July 27, 2008, 10:16:08 am »

General manufacture rule is replacement after five years which is what OSHA has to go with.
The liner is one to two years.
Keep in mind this is for a hard hat that is used almost every day at work.
There is a manufactured date on these hats but also keep in mind this isn't a service date.

Service Life

Quote

One common misconception is that hard hats have a predetermined service life - that is not the case. Both the 1986 and 1997 ANSI standards address service life under maintenance and care of the hard hat. The standards state that all hard hat components should be inspected daily for signs of dents, cracks, penetration and any damage due to impact, rough treatment, or wear. Although it is not considered a "shelf life", MSA brand hard hats do have "Useful Service Life Guidelines". These guidelines suggest replacing the suspension every 12 months and the hard hat after 5 years of use. Any hard hat that fails the visual inspection should be removed from service until the problem is corrected.

I myself would rather replace it a little too early than a little too late.I went years without wearing one at all in the woods.Finally smarted up.Won't mention chaps either.I wear them now.I had no idea there was a date stamped on hard hats.But does make since if an inspector comes to check on them.Keeps every one honest.

I like the husky system. I take off the stupid face shield though. I don't know about you guys but I can't see crap with that thing down,,, it's more of a liability than a safety feature.... On top of that,,, I STILL get chips in my eyes. So I just wear regular old safety glasses.

Kevin · « **Reply #28 on:** July 28, 2008, 07:18:28 am »

I took a small spring pole in the face several years ago and was happy to have the face shield.
I always have it on and it has become second nature.
I don't always wear safety glasses because of the sweat factor but I wear them when I can.

arojay · « **Reply #29 on:** July 29, 2008, 11:16:22 pm »

Well, I'm kind of a bad boy on this one. Probably not just this one but I'll stick to the topic. I have a Peltor system and a Husqvarna system and I wear neither. I wear a MSA fullbrim, deci-damps and prescription safety glasses with side shields, summer and winter. I also have a North full brim with foam liner, lineman type, for real cold weather. The foam stops the wind tunnel effect quite well. I realize this may not be for everyone, but glasses inside the screen are a disaster in winter and I have a little sensitivity to spruce, old pollen, dust or whatever and my sinuses plug up a little. Get working and they kind of let go and the urge to spit overwhelms the realization that the screen is down... and cold...I'll leave the rest to your imagination. I get a new MSA every year, they are cheap and good protection. I use a knitted wool earband that my Mom made for me when I was a teenager, to keep toasty and a cover for the back of my neck that I cut from an old gortex jacket, to keep snow etc. from falling down the back of my neck. Loggers head protection for the Yukon winter.

I used the Peltor from Bailey's too. I liked it alot. So did my dog. Here ripped it to shreds. It was scattered all over the front, back, and side of the house and shop. It was a sickening feeling to see the first thing in the morning.

I'm looking again. i hate logging without a helmet. I did this last weekend but bought a hardhat at the hardware store yesterday. Still, I want another regulation logger system. I love that flip-down/flip-up face screen. I don't use the ear muffs. Might make no sense to y'all but i just cannot feel safe with them over my ears. Crazy I know but I am uncomfortable to the point of being distracted, and also afraid I will not hear the widow maker snap off 50' above my head . . . . like I would have a chance to get away in time with my shot knees.

Mooseherder · « **Reply #31 on:** July 30, 2008, 08:34:13 pm »

Wildlife Cam caught deese 2 critters hindside. It was bought at the Stihl dealer along with some chaps. I flip the ear muffs off when I ain't cutting. I like the front shield. I don't care for the inside forehead band which gets wet with sweat and gets ikky.

I'd bet Peltor makes these for Stihl eh.

I also like the dial in back that lets you fit to every head ever made.

I have the sthil system, this morning I asked my dealer about parts for it as I broke the thingy that snaps one muff against your ear. He wanted to know when I bought it, and because I belong to the forestry forum

I had just looked at when it was made, and he told me that mine was boarder line as to getting parts because every 5 or 6 years they change them a little so that they don't stay in use to long as they can become brittle and crack when something wacks you on the head. I had heard that some where

I had a thought while watching ax men and I didn't think it warranted a new thread so I'll put it here. Do most western fallers wear the full brim aluminum hard hats instead of something like a peltor or was it just for the camera? If so is it just tradition or do they offer some advantage (I wouldn't think so) over a cap style helmet with ear muffs and face shield.

zackman1801 · « **Reply #40 on:** August 07, 2008, 01:50:14 pm »

i would say its a toss up. ive seen alot of pictures and videos of guys wearing the full brimmed helmets atleast in cal, and oregon but up farther north in BC you see more guys wearing the hard hats with face shields and ear muffs.

I use the peltor system now, but am really thinking on trying the full brim with ear plugs and safety glasses, it seems it may be lighter and then you wouldnt have to keep messing with the shield? Any comments from the NH, VT, ME guys?

John Mc · « **Reply #42 on:** August 08, 2008, 11:49:26 am »

The one thing I like about the face shield is that it's saved me from getting poked or slapped by branches on a number of occasions, and I don't get the sawdust sprayed in my face as much.

I do like to pull off the ear muffs in the summer and use plugs, however. Those muffs make me a lot hotter when it's warm out (they are nice on the winter, though).

It's strange... I've never seen anyone using the full brim around my area of Vermont.

Tombstone · « **Reply #43 on:** August 08, 2008, 02:54:03 pm »

Yeah I know what you mean about getting hit in the face. I also get hotter when wearing the muffs?? Who would think that much heat comes from your ears!? Not sure why no one wears the full brim around here, I asked a buddy about getting one and he thought I was kidding..................guess I didnt realize we were in a fashion show in the timber

Safety and comfort are the idea right? :

More reason not to put it on your head, people want to shoot it.

I have seen regular hard hats in aluminum but my guess is they stopped making them because they probably arent safer than plastic, plastic is cheaper to make, plus it doesn't dent. I wouldn't replace a plastic one with aluminum for the fact also that they would warm up and be like an oven on your head. thats the one thing i like about plastic, if it falls off it doesn't get big dents in it causing it not to fit right or be unsafe to wear.

Ron Scott · « **Reply #56 on:** August 13, 2008, 10:53:43 am »

All of our hard hats during the 1960's were aluminum with plastics replacing them due to the safety requirements when working around power and electric lines.

I have both hard hats of both aluminum and plastic and still wear an aluminum hat when marking timber and inspecting timber harvests. They are very light weight. The main thing is to keep the suspensions maintained.

Get yourself some of those Bug Eyez mesh goggles to go with your full brim helmet and you`ll have a first class setup, just don`t forget your ear plugs or you`ll end up deaf like me. I like the way that a full brim keeps alot of moisture falling from trees from falling down the back of your collar.

Regaurdless of what saw or how big or for that matter equipment in general I am running I always have the right safety gear. It's just not worth it to lag behind on this subject. Before the skull bucket I always had ear muffs and a face shield now there are safety glasses in the log truck jeep and tractor and ear plugs in my pocket.
I have found that since I have been wearing ear plugs for the saw and carrying them in my pocket that I do alot of stuff that I should've been using them for. I now find myself reaching for my ear plugs for things that before I wouldn't have givin a second thought to.

moonhill · « **Reply #59 on:** August 23, 2008, 07:36:45 am »

I have gotten hooked on the muffs with a radio. Have thought of adapting them to the helmet. As long as I don't mess with the safety factor. I wear a ball cap while running my mill so I can wear the muffs. I don't like the push in ear plugs. At times I want a large brim hat for sun protection but that doesn't work with a set of muffs. I don't see the full brim hard hats here, have often wondered why. I would like to try the screen goggles some day. It's hard to wear a pair of safety glasses with muffs, the leak factor. And they chip screen sure does make a nice spit catcher, don't forget to flip it up. I find the chip screens mechanism to be cheep. All it takes is a few catches in the over head brush and some plastic piece is broken. Room for improvement. Tim

The best helmet system that i have found is made by Pacific Helmets. Super strong kevlar...which is kinda expensive but well worth it. My roommate has one for tree climbing, and i will be getting one for x-mas this year. You can find them at www.sherrilltree.com. You have to order the muff and visor system separately but definitely a top of the line helmet.

My vote is for the husky. I wear one at work, works great and is 10X's more comfortable than some of the others they have bought us. I really ought to buy me one for when I am milling and felling trees but I am cheap and get earplugs for free.

rebocardo · « **Reply #62 on:** November 08, 2008, 10:08:36 am »

The main feature I have come to appreciate most is the face screen, I used hard hats and muffs for a long time, but, once I started using the face screen I never went back to the old way.

Much less ends up on your glasses and when you are cutting a log with the saw in the vertical with the bar end down it really cuts down on the amount of stuff you eat. Plus, it really saves on branches and wild flora catching you in the face, plus, helps on keeping the ivy bits off your face.

I always wear muffs, no plugs, because it really cuts back on the bugs, both annoying and biting, from getting in and on your ears. Removing them multiple times in an hour, to hear someone else or to hear a tree as I am making the final cut, would just invite shoving something foreign back into my ear with the plug.

VTWOODKID · « **Reply #63 on:** November 09, 2008, 09:30:15 pm »

I have a stihl helmet and i dont like it. The ear muffs on it flop around and when the shield is up it sticks out a mile. My dad has a husky helmet and i use that at home. Much more comfortable, better ear muff fit, and nicer shield.

I have purchase the New Zealand Pacific helmet and i love it. i will not think twice about getting one. they are the most rugged helmet i have ever used. the Peltor ones are nothing compared to this one with a much more compact helmet for any use. I use mine as a climbing helmet. With the adjustable back you can put a light weight hat on under it and tighten it down to were it is comfortable. going to school in the Adirondacks its nice to have a warm head when it is -20 out. the visor on it comes down and protect you from particles coming up under your face mask. i think it was one of the greatest purchases out of any. I actually dropped it out of a tree over the summer from about 80 feet and once i got it back at the top of the tree it didn't even look harmed. i would recommend it to any one. it is way stronger than either husky or the peltor. More and more people are starting to invest in them due to better assets the helmet has.

When felling I wear a older Mac-T aluminum hat with a new ratchet suspension system in it. I wear ear plugs and safety glasses as well.

When I'm up in the tree i have a Petzl helmet.
