HusqvarnaForest Functional Helmet

Top quality helmet ,of course as expected from Husqvarna .Took 10 mins to assemble as per booklet.Tried it on a few times to make adjustments until it fitted my head snuggly but secure. Absolutely love it, and i know i can wear it all day, no problem because it is light and very comfortable.It is also came supplied with a rear neck cape to keep rain from running down the back of my neck, if i`m working out in the rain.The ear defenders are perfect for me, and comfortable with a reassurring firm fit around my ears.They can be turned backwards and up, so are out of the way when not in use. A very highly recommended piece of essential chainsaw kit.

Been using another well known brand safety helmet for years (Stihl)After helmet was accidentally dropped (fell to ground from approx 4 ft )Frame cracked not impressed . No longer safe to wear for head or eye protection Will not purchase same againPurchased Husqvarna helmet as replacement on recommendation from other landscape gardeners & chain saw usersTo early to tell.but comfortable to wear good noise protection from good fitting ear muffsPrompt delivery , arrives requiring assembly fitting ear muffs and visor 5minute task to fitWill see how it stands to test of time and daily use

They don't make helmets like they used to but this one is a popular fit for many and has a more solid feel than many of the Stihl models. The ear cushions can also be replaced cheaply. Has to be self assembled which is fiddly and the face shield visor doesn't fit at all

Brilliant helmet I use to have one of these in my last job until someone nicked it, now being self employed had to get a new one I would highly recommend these helmets to anyone

There is confusion and incorrect pictures against some of the Husqvarna helmets offered on Amazon. There are (Sep 2015) 3 levels of Husq helmet spec plus a fourth for above ground work. The specs are relevant to prices of course. Lowest spec is the Classic (or gardener's), then the Forester (here called 'Professional') and then the Technical at the top. The above ground is the Arborist. Specs and names may change and details can be got from the Husq own website. The most visible (in photos) differences relate to the back-of-head adjustment strap and the visor (for one of them). The picture on my order confirmation was different from that on the product offering/description so I got confirmation of the spec from the supplier before delivery! The assembly instructions are in poor English and the pictures are ambiguous, in particular the ear-muffs-to-helmet and visor-to-arms fitting process are unclear. It takes quite a push and click to achieve some stages of assembly and makes one nervous about breaking the parts. However, a bit of thought and experimentation got me there in 7-8 minuites. This replaced separate specs and earmuffs I have used for last 40 years of chainsawing - in part because I was uncertain about the clamping effectiveness of helmet-mounted ear-muffs. Very comfortable (a bit hot), ear muffs clamp to side of ears better than standalone muffs and can be 'opened up' more easily than moving standalone muffs when pausing, you don't notice the visor after a few seconds. Some dust can get behind the visor so I wear safety specs as well (I think others do a helmet with integral safety specs). When not on your head the whole unit is an inconvenient shape and is best kept on a hook or post if the visor is to avoid damage. Replacement ear muffs and visor are offered in one or two places.Update Jun 2017: Found the helmet very hot at first and after a few months I drilled out about half of the blanked ventilation holes in the top of the helmet. Not sure why they are not drilled out during manufacture. It was a great improvement. Take care not to use too large a drill bit or force a blunt drill as this may crack/weaken the helmet.

An extremely well made helmet , it has a strong wire mesh visor that has a clear view. The ear defenders are of excellent quality and have a good level of ear protection. The Hard hat has an adjustable headband that provides good comfort. I have used various top makes over the years, but now that I have used this make I doubt I will change as I am extremely happy with this purchase!!

My 'better half' finally snapped, and I received a right old ear bashing! Why, I hear you cry? Simples...both when strimming and using my chainsaw, I have had debris hit me square in the face...luckily missing my eyes...both of them! So, following the latest 'accident', her indoors insisted I purchased a safety helmet. And, as I always do as I'm told, and following no little research, I decided to purchase this item. It arrived promptly...and in bits. The instruction manual is not great to be honest...very small print...and the illustrations are not terribly helpful. Anyway, managed to fit most of the 'bits'...eventually...but fitting the sun visor proved impossible! I tried numerous times to fit this damned visor, and eventually succeeded...but do they have to make these things this fiddly and difficult! Gleefully putting on my brand new, shiny helmet, I instantly felt I was in a Star Wars film! It looks really cool...and makes even moi look like a professional! It's comfortable to wear, and the mesh does not impair one's sight at all. Good purchase.

This is a great helmet, comfy to wear all day and the ultra vision screen really works as you forget it's there. The ear defenders are far superior to others i have tried over the years. Downside is the screen lets some bits through so would advise safety glasses as well.

J'avais hésité avec son petit frère 30 € moins cher mais les commentaires m'ont fait prendre celui-ci. Il est super en plus je le trouve sympa.Très bonne protection, confortable, tient bien et pratique.Tout d'abord le réglage de la taille par crantage qui ne se dérègle pas.La grille de protection en métal qui offre une excellente vision, elle n'apporte aucune gène, elle est juste invisible. Le mécanisme de relevage fonctionne bien.Les protections auditives sont bonnes. Comparé au casque anti-bruit 3M Peltor Optime III (une référence) que j'utilise habituellement pour les autres travaux, la sonorité est différente mais le niveau sonore ressenti est similaire. Donc bonne protection pour une utilisation prolongée.Le tout respire la qualité.Je l'ai utilisé pour 6 heures de tronçonneuse pour débiter un gros chêne et pour des arbustes ; Juste parfait.J'ai fait une 10ène d'heures de débroussaillage de taillis de ronces, une boucherie. Les impacts font le bruit de la grêle dans une voiture :-), j'en ai reçu pas mal, la protection a fait sont job et n'a pas bronché.Le casque est confortable, rien à voir avec ce que j'avais avant d'une marque connue à la couleur orange.Comme relevé par certains, le montage semble un peu compliqué au premier abord. Je n'ai trouvé aucune notice et pas de détail sur l'emballage, juste une photo. J'ai rapidement compris comment monter les protections auditives, puis la visière. Ca a été beaucoup plus long pour la casquelle mais calmement j'ai fini par comprendre, il faut l'amener de face et appuyer vers le bas sur la partie centrale pour que le clips passe sous la visière ; C'est astucieux et simple... mais une petite doc en papier recyclé en anglais, chinois ou même suédois n'aurait pas été du luxe !Je recommande cet excellent casque.

I'm very pleased with the quality, comfort and fit of my Husqvarna helmet. Would certainly recommend it to others.

Casco,visiera e cuffie di alta qualita' in rapporto al prezzo.Superiore a caschi della concorrenza della stessa fascia.Destinato all'obbista evoluto.Per uso esclusivamente professionale meglio preferire modelli Husqvarna di fascia superiore.
