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.

Just spend the money it’s worth it! I’ve had my Protos helmet for about a year now, I use it everyday and it still looks and function like it’s brand new. It’s very comfortable. Best on the market! Just spend the money and buy it you won’t regret it. We use them for our whole crew!

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.

I’ve been wearing hard hats for over 30 years. This is by far the best one I’ve ever had, but it wasn’t cheap in price.

This think is awesome. First time using it, definitely saved me an eye. The shield easily stopped a high velocity wood chip flying directly at my face.Very comfortable, well fitting. If you own a chainsaw, this is a worthy investment.

I was using a normal stihl hard hat with a face shield. This helmet blows it out of the water. It's secure, and efficient. Just a solid, MUST HAVE, if you're climbing. Don't think, just get it, and pick up the saftey glasses that fit into the helmet. You won't regret it

There is not much to dislike here. Fits like a dream and is balanced well. The tuck away ear protection is a major plus. I need to find a good accessory bag that will clip on to my saw pack tie downs, the stuff sack that was included is too flimsy for that. I hope to get good service from this helmet.

I have used the major brand saw helmet for years. I was always unhappy with the way it fit and keeping the hearing protection in place. I decided to buy this Pfanner Arborist helmet and boy what a difference. It is very comfortable and stays in place even without using the chin strap. Look, this thing is a lot of money for me, but I am very happy with it. Cry once and enjoy it for as long as it lasts. If you are on the fence about buying it, just buy it.

Excellent quality. So many extra benefits than most forestry/arborist helmets, especially if you’re wearing one for several hours at a time. Fold-in ear protection, one hand quick release, easy open or close top air vents!(no more helmet oven!) Plus many extra accessories available direct from Pfanner.
