This is a snug helmet and competes well with a previous one I bought fot around £40 which lasted 4 months. The ear defenders on the previous one fell off when it dropped off a bin onto concrete, I had to bolt them on. I've used this one 3 to 4 times a week and its holding up pretty well. Wearing this I've hit my head on low lying branches quite often and been floored a couple of times, proper neck crunches. Without a helmet I walked into a thin tree branch and cut my eye over the pupil so I'm not taking chances as it took a while to heal so the screen is a must have. The ear defenders don't seem to push out to be placed on the top of the helmet -you have to shove them up there. There is a rubber locating washer which has holes in si the face gard holds in place. Mine desintergrated and the gard flops down all the time and makes a loud sound as in falls and squeaks a lot as you walk. I had to put the screen fully up vertical to hold it in place when not in use and this caught in trees etc and often pulled the whole assembly out where it is attached above the ears see. photo. I stopped this by adding bolt and wing nut which holds it in place. Works a treat. Just have to tighten now and then may use a rubber washer to improve it more. I heated up a screw driver to make a hole and threaded a bolt through. The screen can get crushed If you are leaving the helmet in the car boot with other items it rolls about. I keep mine in the foot well. The screen got caught and tore so I got a replacement one on Ebay: Replacement Mesh Visor for Chainsaw Helmets & Strimmer Headgear Universal Fit. Overall a good helmet especially for the price and with the nut and wing nut holding the face in place...silence Read full review

I had a Rocwood chainsaw helmet that was a Stihl copy with wired ear protectors. It was great and the noise cancelling superb. Better than the Stihl helmet I also owned. I regret however my pup chewed an earpiece so needing a new helmet I ordered this thinking it would be as good as the old. It is not. The ear/noise protection is very poor and the face screen does not even fit into the helmet fittings and falls out. If I had not binned the packing box days before using the helmet I'd send it back. A total waste of money and simply disappointing.

This chainsaw hat with built in ear defenders is a great bit of kit. It is lightweight and comfortable to wear. It all works as it should. The visor works well and there is an adjustable headband to hold everything in place whilst working. Don't be put off by its relatively low cost compared to other known brands.

Arrived promptly, well packaged. The instructions are rubbish - they tell you about assembling the visor and fitting some part to the helmet - this has already been done so you waste a bit of time before you realise this. Also the description of one part in the diagram has a different name from the same part n the wording, so that confuses things too. They need to be re-written - they don't help the assembly process. Once I worked out that the adjustment knob actually drops down to be adjusted, I could make the helmet fit my head. In operation, it's excellent. It stays on my head, the visor doesn't obstruct vision but keeps out sawdust and flying stones, and the headphones stay out of the way. It is now a part of my daily worktools

Great protection, Ideal for chainsaw and brushcutter, at this price I'd say for home users and pro use it's a good choice of protective helmet. Fully adjustable and comfortable to wear especially with the ear defenders down, very nice fit and stays still on your head. For this price you'd be nuts to go without the protection that this helmet provides (Don't forget your chainsaw trousers too, expensive but better safe than sorry)
