Good-Bye Old School Hardhat

I think that's a disgusting habit.

what spitting into your screen? me too

Nice!



It probably would have saved River's eye.

I kinda think the saw would have done the same thing. The screens do well against blunt force. A saw I believe could pass through easily.

I wish I could work in a tree with a face shield. Having tried 2 different models prior to my accident I found they both messed with my depth perception.

Well, it seems I may have titled this thread incorrectly. After wearing the Vent this morning, the first thing I removed was the visor. I didn't like how it actually reduced my vision somewhat, plus it was making my glasses fog up from the lack of air circulating.

The next thing (and I really hated this) I took off was the hearing protection. I was hoping I could tolorate the heat, but it was just too uncomfortable for my taste... and it isn't even summer! And since I was experimenting buying the helmet in the first place because of the headset, (and they didn't work out) I'm finding out that I really prefer my full brim hardhat.

Oh well, live and learn. Back to earplugs. Now I just need to figure out a way to secure it to my head.

should have gotten a Pacific..........

No ventilation and heavy.

And why do you think I would come to a different conclusion with that helmet?

 

[inztrees]

Not that heavy for one, sticks like glue with one turn of the ratchet for two...drill holes in it if ventillation is sooooo important I'm goin to take some pics....

 

[inztrees]

you do that

 

[OTGBOSTON]

here you go boss

I am a big fan of Petzl stuff BUT if you're running big saws in a tree or otherwise this is the hat for you...IMHO

 

[MasterBlaster]

The muffs are just too hot for me, and I really wanted them to hide my ears from the sun. THAT'S why I wear a full brim, the sunlight.

 

[OTGBOSTON]

I tried

Your avatar pic looks like almost the same style as the pacific.

Are you telling us you had something that works but you tried something else?

 

[MasterBlaster]

The hat in my avatar is a bump cap, which I would still wear if it had a full brim.

 

[inztrees]

whats wrong with your ears??

ahh haa, I think I misunderstood "full brim" from the get go. Got an up close of that bump cap?

 

[MasterBlaster]

It's just your standard $5 bump cap.

Prone to getting those 'lil cancer things that they have to burn out.

 

[OTGBOSTON]

It ain't like I'm gonna throw it away, but I just ordered a skullbucket (Petzl Vent, white NOT red!) with all the trimmings.

And I bought it from WesSpur!

well, I guess its a good thing you didn't throw the old one away

 

[inztrees]
