Stihl Unisex - Adult Face Shield Ear Protection Short Nylon Mesh Black

Product Information

For arborists working in the trees however, look no further than the STIHL ADVANCE X-CLIMB helmet set. This helmet has been designed specifically for tree surgeons and conforms to both EN number 397 (industrial safety helmets) and EN number 12492 (helmets for climbing and mountaineering) so this is a great choice if you want a helmet you can wear in the tree and on the ground. What’s more, this helmet has large slits along the side and rear for optimum ventilation. The ADVANCE X-CLIMB has a tough nylon mesh visor with 55% light penetration and an SNR of 28. The helmet is also made from ABS polymer and has a synthetic leather inner headband, meaning it provides the highest level of comfort of all STIHL helmets. And it’s highly visible too with a number of reflective strips along the helmet. Whether it’s leaf blowers , chainsaws or hedge trimmers, working with power tools can be loud. Our ears are sensitive and should not be exposed to excessively loud noises. However, those working in the garden or in the forest cannot always avoid noisy conditions.

The ADVANCE Series is STIHL’s premium helmet series and consists of the STIHL ADVANCE VENT, ADVANCE X-VENT, ADVANCE X-VENT BT and ADVANCE X-CLIMB. This series provides the optimum choice for professional landscapers, forestry workers, arborists and construction workers that require full head protection. You can find our extensive personal protective equipment guide on the different types of PPE you need for different jobs here, but how do you know which STIHL helmet is best suited for your type of work? Here at STIHL, we have a range of helmet sets and head protection to suit different jobs. Find out which one you need below. STIHL FUNCTION BASIC Helmet Special designs include ear plugs with connecting straps or bands, or earmoulds which are individually adapted to the wearer’s ear canal. Ear defenders A chainsaw is a heavy piece of equipment; while that may be unavoidable, it doesn’t mean the rest of your equipment needs to follow suit. Another great feature of this Stihl helmet is that it’s lightweight. It still provides you with solid protection from flying debris and falling branches, but it does that without unnecessarily weighing you down. Ventilation Built-In

But not all noise is the same. In addition to the strength of the sound, the distance from the source of the noise is also important. For example, the question of whether an engine is directly next to the ear while working – as with hedge trimmers – or whether it is more than one metre away, as with lawn mowers, makes a difference. So it is important to know how much noise the ear is directly exposed to when choosing the right hearing protection.

A safety helmet is bound to receive a lot of direct sunlight over time and that can weaken the outer shell of your helmet and cause a fair bit of discoloration. The 577764601 has built-in UV protection that will extend the usable life of your chainsaw safety helmet by years. It’s an extra feature that you probably wouldn’t normally even consider when purchasing a helmet, but it’s an important one nonetheless. Strong Mesh Face Guard The FUNCTION BASIC helmet is made from HDPE, which is a high density polymer, meaning it’s extremely lightweight and comfortable to wear. It’s also fitted with a nylon mesh visor to protect the face and comfortable, low profile ear protectors with an SNR (single number rating) of 24 for sound protection. Slit vents on the helmet provide ventilation during use as well, which makes the FUNCTION Basic an ideal helmet for jobs in the garden. STIHL DYNAMIC Series There are two basic forms: Ear plugs and ear defenders. Both types offer identical protection – there are no fundamental differences in noise protection, and they are both available in various designs for different purposes. They can also be combined with other personal protective equipment (PPE) components such as helmets or visors. This is another great safety helmet that comes equipped with a steel mesh face mask. A friend of mine actually uses this particular helmet at work and he’s convinced that the steel mesh face guard on this safety hat saved his eyes when a piece of flying debris from some wood he was cutting impacted the mask with considerable force. You may not run into this type of issue often, but it only takes one time to cause serious injury; that’s why it’s important to have this type of protection all the time. Extra Safety with Anti-Fog GlassesThe DYNAMIC series consists of two helmet sets – the STIHL DYNAMIC ERGO and the DYNAMIC X-ERGO. Both of these STIHL helmets are top choices for semi-professional use or by professional users, such as landscape gardeners or forestry workers.
