6-in-1 Chainsaw Helmet with Mesh Face Shield and Hearing Protection Ear Muffs, Forestry Safety Hard Hat Kits, ANSI Z89.1 Approved Certified Arborist Helmet, Orange

Excellent product ; much better quality than expected. It’s complete, and well thought out.Good pricing

Great product. Have been using a chainsaw for over 60 years, many of those with no protective gear at all. They didn't have it in the 1960's! Now that I'm older, slower to react and less steady on my feet, Safety gear is more important than ever. I've had a couple of trips to the ER with chainsaw cuts and stitches. It is going to happen if you use this type of equipment. The difference is loggers wearing safety gear will have mishaps, but they dont end up in the ER! Cost of the equipment is pennies versus an ER visit, or worse, a visit with the morgue. Buy this product with confidence. It works well. Keeps the sawdust out of your eyes and the chainsaw away from your skull!

The hearing protection is top-notch. It's better than anything else I have. The seal seems to fit better around the bows from my sunglasses.My other helmet has a plexiglass shield, I didn't know whether I would like the mesh shield... I do. I think my vision is clearer. The mesh seems less intrusive than the inevitable scuffing on the plexiglass. And it's a lot cooler.One small point: I initially thought the dorag was silly, but with this hot weather, I tried it and it is actually a great idea.The chin strap is the only weak point. Personally, I would prefer a chin cup to hold the strap in place. This isn't a major problem as the fit of the helmet and the adjustment dial works very well and the helmet feels very secure.So why only 4 stars? It's not a problem with the helmet.; It's just that I haven't tested the safety of the helmet by having something fall on me. And I hope I never come back to amend this statement. In the meantime, take my 4-stars as a high recommendation.

I got this kit for amateur arborist/lumberjack shenanigans. I have an electric chainsaw that is pretty quiet, so I don’t need the headphones. I like that I can clip them off. I sometimes don’t use the face guard either (but still have safety glasses on). I like that it’s reconfigurable like that.The hard hat is bright orange, and my wife likes that she can see me deep in the brush as I’m working, to make sure I haven’t ended up under a tree or in a ditch.It comes with a drawstring “backpack” style bag. Cheap, but convenient. I end up throwing some other odds and ends in that drawstring bag(sandwich?) and throw it over my back to free up my hands. I also hang it up in the garage like that(minus the sandwich). Handy.

The Peltor is a lighter helmet, weighing 23.5oz complete. The UltraMaxx weighs 30.5oz in the same configuration. Any significant weight on the head all day can add to neck strain and fatigue. Seven extra ounces is noticeable, but may be worthwhile — depending what value it adds to protection. I believe much of the added weight of the UltraMaxx helmet is in the shell, which is made of a denser and more rigid ABS plastic than the polypropylene shell of the Peltor. The UltraMaxx adds a honeycombed reinforcing band around the rim, and other structural details adding strength. The UltraMaxx also has a dropped and

The item was exactly what I expected when I ordered it. The instructions showing how to assemble the ear protective ear muffs and face shield were easy to understand. Everything works as it should. I have no complaints of any kind regarding this transaction.

One of the best decision I made. As a notice to cutting down a tree, it helped me and my brother get thing done safely.

I’ve been cutting 5 cords of home use firewood annually for decades, juniper clearing, cutting on fires, instructing tree climbers, various high/rope work. I believe strongly in safety equipment, and think I know something about it. I am favorably impressed with this UltraMaxx helmet, and will base my review on comparison with a similar Peltor helmet which has worked for me over 10 years if the imprint inside is to be believed. See the photos for visuals.The Peltor is a lighter helmet, weighing 23.5oz complete. The UltraMaxx weighs 30.5oz in the same configuration. Any significant weight on the head all day can add to neck strain and fatigue. Seven extra ounces is noticeable, but may be worthwhile — depending what value it adds to protection. I believe much of the added weight of the UltraMaxx helmet is in the shell, which is made of a denser and more rigid ABS plastic than the polypropylene shell of the Peltor. The UltraMaxx adds a honeycombed reinforcing band around the rim, and other structural details adding strength. The UltraMaxx also has a dropped and reinforced rear edge — it is relatively common for tree-cutting accidents to involve strikes from behind, or while the head is down. Although both are rated as ANSI Type 1 helmets, I perceive that the UltraMaxx is designed to provide significantly more protection against front, rear, side, angular, and crushing forces than most Type 1s — certainly more than the Peltor. To me, that is worth carrying a bit of extra weight.Possibly another source of excess weight is the rather massive face screen on the UltraMaxx. It is 1.5” taller than the Peltor screen, 3” wider, sits 2" farther from the user’s face, has a 1mm instead of 2mm screen mesh, and has a ponderous and fragile-seeming attachment apparatus. I have found the Peltor screen to provide perfectly acceptable face coverage. It certainly offers a lot to hide behind, but if anything keeps me from being satisfied with the Ultramaxx helmet system in use, it will probably be the vast expanse of the screen and connectors.The UltraMaxx helmet shell has only a short front brim, but the massive face shield bracket effectively extends the brim an extra inch and a half. Both helmets have a bit of rain gutter to run water off by the side of the face, instead of down the neck. “Clicking" the ear muffs out and in takes what feels like a plastic-breaking amount of force. I eventually got up the courage to pull them hard enough, but I hope they will break-in before they break-down.The nape strap adjuster seems to work well once you figure how to operate it behind the head. Unfortunately, the nape strap is designed to remain fixed, rather than swinging out of the way for storage of the helmet — keeping with the "massive" theme of the unit. The breakaway chinstrap seems well-designed and functional, but I don’t expect to find it necessary for ground work — and this is not seriously a helmet designed for high work. User’s choice, I guess.My second photo shows the internal adjusters of the two helmets’ suspension harness. Many hardhats will have something like this, but I have never seen any helmet with instructions how they are to be used. They allow some adjustment for whether the helmet sits higher or lower or balances forward or back — potentially helpful with different head shapes and sizes. Or to balance the massive face screen. If the helmet seems good, but not sitting quite right by just adjusting the nape strap — try to figure those holes out and see if there is a better setting. I did.It’s not cutting season for me, yet — I’ll try to come back if I find significant flaws, but this helmet looks pretty serviceable. An economy set of protective eyewear is included, in case this is your first rodeo.The do-rag and the carry-bag…yeah, ok, whatever…
