After watching this review and as many others as I could find I bought one plus the optional extra integrated safety glasses. Got the ARB version with visor and straps. At this price it's too bad it doesn't come with the rear neck flap as std. Besides that, it is definitely the best helmet I have owned. For design, weight, comfort it's outstanding. Thanks for the review. Best wishes, Mark..UK
For $300 unless I hear him wrong it better be a great tree cutting hard hat helmet. I'm sure it nice but $300 is a lot of money probably to high of a price for me
Thanks for the post. I'm 66 and looking for a new helmet. Have always worn traditional logging helmet and I can attest it has saved my life. I can't say how many times I've been hit in the face shields with slash and limbs.
Great review thanks 👍. Like other commenters I was wondering if the ear defenders were as good as the thicker looking ear defenders we get on our regular Husqi / Stihl helmets?
My helmet is coming up for renewal, not because it’s worn or bashed but for insurance, I’ve got to wear a helmet within date. I’ve always viewed the ‘Protos’ as being a needless extra expense. As I’ve not had a problem with previous Husky helmets, though my present helmet is Stihl. The thing that really bugs me with the Stihl helmets, is you can’t clip down the ear defenders with one hand, as you can with Husky. You can unclip off the ear with one hand but not clip them back in place. Also recently, I’ve had three cases where the visor has hooked a low branch and the visor partially detached; and two instances of the ear defender wires catching on branches, resulting in a sudden & startlingly loud environment. Never had either happen with Husky helmet So why did you buy a Stihl lid, well I didn’t. A charity I volunteer with bought me a lid but they only buy Stihl PPE. Very kind of them but I think I’ll decline if they offer again. So I was going back to Husky but they’ve changed the ear defender clips and I gather the things ping off all too easily. Ok, back to Protos. The visor catching on low branches, (which can’t be removed on specimen trees as specified by the charity or trust that I also volunteer with) is a little tiresome and the occasional bouts of short-lived extra noise I can live with. The reason I’m now considering Protos as my next lid, is an accident I recently had. I’d been called from the cutting area to have a welcoming cuppa, (charities keep volunteers fed and full of tea). Transport over adjacent canal via working narrowboat. I get onto the wooden load ramp ok, step off onto the steel deck which was a bit muddy and whoosh. I go down like a sack of spuds, (potatoes). As I’m falling backwards, my helmet falls off. Thankfully my saw is ok, not so the saw of another volunteer. My sliding feet pushes his saw into the canal and a couple of feet of gloopy mud. They eventually managed to retrieve it and after a full strip+clean his saw is good. Not so my head & neck - minor whiplash and fractured skull as my head smacks on the steel deck. My neck clicks a bit, which is slightly irritating and the skull… nothing to worry about, just another on my list of serious head injuries, (I’ve had a few over the years). So a lid which stayed on, might not have protected my from the whiplash but would have saved my skull. So, a visor which is less likely to hook a branch or three, ear defenders that stay in place and crucially a lid will probably still be on my noggin if I fall again. I’m thinking the extra cost is worth it.
Hey thanks for your comments. I should make another vid about the protos. To be honest after all this time i dont really like it. Near the end of the first season it started to fall apart. The head band is garbage and always falls off - and doesnt direct sweat away for your brow - and the ear protection always falls off - im back to a husky or stihl helmet... ON that note i bought the stihl bluetooth helmet and it broke the second time i used it.....garbage as well. I need to find a good one!
I never ordered my pfanner to come in 2 days. So far my helmets which have always been stihl usually last 4-8mos of daily use. No complaints. Just trying something new
handsome, you owe your subscribers an apology for calling European safety gear "Goofy". let's here it, in writing. I just ordered my 1st proto in white color ,from Amazon. $330.00 usd.

@@PowerModzOfficial - Thank for letting me know so promptly.

Whoa great helmet BUT $300.00 + is a little too steep for the occasional home owner use.
