Your cart is empty.The Protos arborist helmet from Pfanner is the most advanced helmet system available on the market, offering the best energy absorption, lightest weight, and unprecedented breath-ability. The side impact protection sets it apart from its competitors and makes it arguably the safest climbing helmet ever brought to market. Integrated hearing protection with low-profile design (no prominent parts to get caught on branches). "Swept back" design of the helmet allows for optimal field of view. The adjustable pressure fitting of the hearing protectors allows for a perfect fit. Even weight distribution design and the adjustable neck piece allow for a perfect, secure and comfortable fit, even without the chin strap. Adjustable vent flow on helmet (vents can be opened or closed) allows for use in wet, hot or cold work conditions. Discrete channel for the chin strap was designed to prevent the chin strap from slipping under the ear protector. Extraordinary wicking of perspiration via large and exchangeable pads with Klima-AIR technology. All functions of the helmet (hearing protection, face shield, helmet adjustment, and helmet vents) can be activated with just two fingers, making operation of the helmet easy. One of the only arborist helmets offering side and rear impact protection. Designed over a 15 year period with two things in mind: total head protection and working arborists. Includes chinstrap for work aloft. Certified to EN397 and EN 12492.

It's a bit pricey, but we'll worth every penny. Easy to adjust for head size, and the clip in the back is an excellent feature. The mesh works well to keep saw dust out of your eyes, but doesn't limit your visibility too much. Comes ready to go out of the box, and the removable sweatband is a much appreciated feature. I only wish it were more serviceable in that the foam padding inside comes free after a bit of use, and replacing it or gluing it back in place is not easy since you can't remove the suspension system. The lack of user-servicing is why I just can't bring myself to give it 5 stars.

Invaluable piece of PPE for tree climbing/trimming and portable saw mill operating. Rigged it up with the pfanner integral safety glasses, and a motorcycle noise cancelling intercom / blue tooth system installed into it flawlessly,... put speakers in ear muffs and button bike bottom corner of mesh shield so doesn't affect view at all ....So much more comfortable and safer than helmet set up have been using past two years. Highly recommend. Manual comes in foreign language but YouTube loaded with tutorials for it to familiarize self quickly.

I was a little apprehensive to buy due to weight concerns and the steep price. With that said, it is by far the best helmet you can buy for tree work. Extremely comfortable, the weight is negligible and for the price I will buy over and over again. Only thing I would like is a full Polly glass, similar to that of Kasks. I do have the Protos tuck glasses but they feel small and don’t offer the best protection when the face shield is not down. If your on the fence I would highly recommend!
