Good-Bye Old School Hardhat

[MasterBlaster]

I'm really liking my Vent. It's way more comfortable than my old hardhat. I'm curious to see if I keep the visor on, I hope I do. It'll come in handy making those big block cuts, and I hope it acts somewhat as a bill.

 

[TC3]

Careful, there.

 

[MasterBlaster]

Hey, my visor was down.

Luvin' Freud in the background. You-so-crazy !!!

Einstien...

 

[Stumper]

Butch, that little goofy bit of material that came in the kit (Quick, go through the trash!) fills the gap at the top of the visor and helps seal out a lot of sawdust that would otherwise drop into your eyes from above.

 

[MasterBlaster]

Hahahahahaaa...

Say what? It says it's for making it fit on other hardhats.

WHAT gaps? I left the orange fabric thingy off...

 

[Stumper]

Right, I noticed. Use it. It helps. Guaranteed.

 

[MasterBlaster]

I'll still have my glasses on...

 

[Stumper]

Yeah, but even with faceshield and glasses the wind still swirls sawdust behind my glasses and drops it in me peepers. Of course we tend to get more wind here than you do in La.

 

[sotc]

youll get so used to it that youll try to flip it down even when you dont have it on

I like a face screen great for not getting jabbed in the face with stuff imo.

 

[MasterBlaster]

I'm thinking the same thing, Justin.

I love the little Under Armor skull caps for controlling sweat - wouldnt work without it in Texas!

Wish I could have a decent brim and muffs - ears sure do get fried. Vertex feels kinda heavy with muffs - took me awhile to get it dialed into my dome.

Gotta put a plug in for Lexas glasses while we're on PPE. Look dorky but they rock!

Nice pic Butch BTW, could be cooled superimposed in various situations.

 

[MasterBlaster]

Yea, don't I know it!

It probably would have saved River's eye.

I have 3 Vertex helmets. Black, red and orange. The black is hot. Wearing it in the summer is not fun. I also have a white Ecrin that sits in the shop. I'll offer it up the same as Stumper did. Make a donation to the house and pm me your addy if anybody wants it.

Is the Ecrin as comfortable as the Vertex Vent? The Vertex I got from Stumper is pretty darn comfy. I had to wash the straps, they smelled a little sweaty, other than that it was practicaly new. Thanks Stumpy

try washing with white vinegar

best to be as protected as possible. I took the muffs and visor off of mine to climb today. I was draggind brush and got whipped in the ear by a little tiny whippy piece hurt like he!! cuz its only 30 degrees (colder with the wind chill)

 

[Stumper]

Ace, I only wore it 4 times. The smell was probably cat pee.

I like the Vertex more. Thus the Ecrin sits in the shop
