Thanks for telling us so much about your favorite helmet. You always seem to wear the Protos, so it makes sense it took up most of the video. I will be checking into them!
Hi, thanks for posting all your great informative videos! I just purchased the protos arborist helmet. I had a petzel alveo helmet, it was about 6 years old. I got hit in the head with the top of a hemlock & broke that helmet. I had been pondering with the idea of buying the protos for a while. When I broke my petzel I knew the time was right to pull the trigger on buying the protos. It has surpassed all my expectations! Well worth the cost, especially when you add up the cost of what another helmet costs and adding all the accessories to make it a functional piece of head gear. In my opinion the protos is the best tree climbing/ground helmet you can buy👍🏼
Very comprehensive, thanks, I have been thinking its time to leave my Stihl and protect my head more. I did not know there was that many feature of a Protos. Thanks!
Nice Review there Beautiful ‼‼‼ Always Love the Helmets that you Wear, Sooo Kool Looking. The Integrated Features ; Sunglasses, Ear Muffs and Wire Mesh Front Shield are AWESOME and can be Tucked Away or Flipped up. Your Personalized Helmet is Sooo YOU, Just AMAZING ❣❣❣ Thanks for Keeping US Informed and Educated on the LATEST and GREATEST Equipment in Our Lumberjack World. Much Love❤, Stay Safe, Sweet and Blessed🙏🏾 ❣❣❣
Great to have a women’s helmet perspective/thoughts. My daughter and I have been thinking of moving her from a Kask into a new one. She has a smaller head (maybe similar, to you, as you mentioned) and lots of hair.... she is still learning to climb, therefore doing more groundwork - thanks for your insight. stay safe and kind regards
I bought a protos helmet thanks to this review. I’m currently the Stihl pro forestry helmet and it works great. I figured I’d give the protos a try and see how I like it
" ...As awesome as me... " 🤣🤣🤣 it was genuinely fantastic. Love those helmets hope to get one soon unfortunately there are no dealers near me for like 150 km so you can't actually get a personalised one or get the colour combination. Have to choose the one you like the most from the one they have.
I totally agree with you, it is the best helmet on the market. Just two things I noticed, the greenish yellow thing is an additional impact protector, and also the impact protector is missing on the forestry version.
I’ve had mine coming up to a year now and I don’t think there’s another helmet that even comes close to these? Well not one that I’ve had anyway! They are a lot of money but after buying one i can honestly say it’s worth every penny. As you say it’s the first helmet I don’t want to take off as soon as I can. 👍
Used to wear a cheap helmet and a Stihl helmet in the past for years. For three years now I am going with a Protos helmet - this is just a superior choice for me. The quick release is great. The tucked in earprotectors don't hang up in brushes. The chin strap is operable with gloves on. The glasses are awesome. The crash absober gives additional security.
They are the best forestry helmet pure confort no snag would buy one i needed one, the ownly helmet i would wear when i dont need it its like a climbing helmet hisquana helmets have never been as confy for me.
Just ordered my Black and Green Protos helmet, sadly the mirror glasses are out of stock with Wesspur. Much appreciated for your review on these helmets! =D
Protos is the best helmet I’ve ever worn. The ear defenders are not great for big chippers/saws though. Husky one is a solid choice for ground work and climbing. Fitting sena comms to the protos soon for better comms with friends/safer work site and music. Cheers for the run down. Alex
Awesome helmet for an awesome lady! Thanks for the review I didn't even know they made a helmet that nice, most of the ones at the local saw shops are clumsy and uncomfortable. Love that you use the correct technical terms like shit and yellow thingy lol! Keep up the great work Felixia your treeple thank you! 👍👍💪💪😁😎❤️!
I need a helmet for just brush clearing and outdoor work , running trimmers etc ... i have a brain injury so i need a comfortable helmet that offers good protection !! I dont wanna buy a cheapo thats gonna fall apart .. thanks for the review and I definitely subscribed !!
Hello From Canada. The one with " Send it" Looks like a old snowmobile helmet from the 70's or 80's LOL. A real nice collection of helmets. Unfortunately our local chainsaw store doesn't have any of these helmets like these. I really like those ones made by Pfanner Austria. I will look into them for sure, I don't have a braid so I should be ok that way. LOL. You did a great review ,and I hope all is well, take care
I will never be as all some as you never but that was a good review i need a new helmet mine was hanging in my barn and the mice used it for a nest so i have been looking at new one and this helped a lot thanks.
Shades in the helmet really made you look stylin. What gloves do you recommend for vibration isolation? I have to crawl across a lot of steep sidehills to fell dead trees for firewood. So boot recommendation would be nice as well. Thanks.
The protos look awesome, but too expensive for me and it’s way more advancend than I am. What about the stihl advance x vent? I can see you have one in your “collection”, I’ve spot one at a very good price in a shop here in my town.
My helmet is coming up for renewal, not because it’s worn or bashed but for insurance, I’ve got to wear a helmet within date. I’ve always viewed the ‘Protos’ as being a needless extra expense. As I’ve not had a problem with previous Husky helmets, though my present helmet is Stihl. The thing that really bugs me with the Stihl helmets, is you can’t clip down the ear defenders with one hand, as you can with Husky. You can unclip off the ear with one hand but not clip them back in place. Also recently, I’ve had three cases where the visor has hooked a low branch and the visor partially detached; and two instances of the ear defender wires catching on branches, resulting in a sudden & startlingly loud environment. Never had either happen with Husky helmet So why did you buy a Stihl lid, well I didn’t. A charity I volunteer with bought me a lid but they only buy Stihl PPE. Very kind of them but I think I’ll decline if they offer again. So I was going back to Husky but they’ve changed the ear defender clips and I gather the things ping off all too easily. Ok, back to Protos. The visor catching on low branches, (which can’t be removed on specimen trees as specified by the charity or trust that I also volunteer with) is a little tiresome and the occasional bouts of short-lived extra noise I can live with. The reason I’m now considering Protos as my next lid, is an accident I recently had. I’d been called from the cutting area to have a welcoming cuppa, (charities keep volunteers fed and full of tea). Transport over adjacent canal via working narrowboat. I get onto the wooden load ramp ok, step off onto the steel deck which was a bit muddy and whoosh. I go down like a sack of spuds, (potatoes). As I’m falling backwards, my helmet falls off. Thankfully my saw is ok, not so the saw of another volunteer. My sliding feet pushes his saw into the canal and a couple of feet of gloopy mud. They eventually managed to retrieve it and after a full strip+clean his saw is good. Not so my head & neck - minor whiplash and fractured skull as my head smacks on the steel deck. My neck clicks a bit, which is slightly irritating and the skull… nothing to worry about, just another on my list of serious head injuries, (I’ve had a few over the years). So a lid which stayed on, might not have protected my from the whiplash but would have saved my skull. So, a visor which is less likely to hook a branch or three, ear defenders that stay in place and crucially a lid will probably still be on my noggin if I fall again. I’m thinking the extra cost is worth it.
I welcome you. I use the pfanner helmet. I am very pleased. I want to complete this helmet with an intercom, go pro and a flashlight. What do you recommend?
I've been back in forth on getting a protos because of the bulky look and the weight it has to it,but I might just have to give it a go,the "send it" part is pretty cool how you can't see it through the inside looking out,
Protos is an awesome helmet I own one the only problem I have is keeping my hair out of my face my hair is not as long as yours yet and on this communication system I would try a motorcycle communication system this way you're not stuck to one type of helmet or hearing protection . by the way great job on the video Femalelumberjack
Nice looking piece of equipment. I'm more of an earplugs user rather than muffs, but I see it's possible to buy the basic helmet, and then only the accessories one wants...which could help with the cost, too.
I always have trouble with exposure with backlight. You appear to have strong backlight without over exposing your background or under exposing yourself. Do you have any tips for an amateur? Are you compensating with software? Artificial lighting?
change to expensiver black peltor then you can have on the ear protection all the time and hear perfectly fine! it only blocks sounds that can hurt your ears! and they have everything that you need and more
It is a great helmet but the earmuffs come out of ‘track’ too easily I find.... dont know if thats down to me when fitting the comms units. i would say that is the only poor bit of the design. I have a Cardo Packtalk Bold comms unit in mine and groundie lid and now im glad I didnt buy the straight swap comms units ( cos theyre a big ticket item too) if they dont tuck into the lid space, that might annoy me especially since youre wearing the Rolls Royce ( showing my age there) of lids. Maybe they will come up with a slimmer comms unit on the next gen lid , who knows....
I was bummed about that also, but later on she mentioned that they were aftermarket Peltor because of the company that she worked for. She also mentioned that the factory Protos Peltor uses the same muff that is no thicker, allowing it to slide back. I noticed from pics on the Protos site that the mic is directly attached to the right muff. Making me wonder if it pushes a closely adjusted mic into your face when pushing the muffs back.

Love your vids ! Ive been a Stihl tech for years, just started climbing 👍🏻👍🏻

I think she would love the Protos helmet. So awesome that your daughter climbs trees too 💪
The background just gives you an angelic glow. Thanks for the review, I'm thinking of getting a protos for my next helmet.
I love my protos! Highly recommended by myself as well!
Love the protos really well made, and comfy too. 😊
Absolutely
The vice clamp on the back leaves you feeling like you've just had a lobotomy!

That's awesome helmet, I think it would be neat see some climbing and felling videos. Awesome keep up great work
Thanks
Interesting video good too know how much you enjoy a good helmet
Looking gorgeous as usual 😉

I never mess with vents either. Great video.
Be safe, and happy holidays!!
Thanks
Thanks, nice vid. Sounds worth of testing this helmet!
Thanks. I would pick the Protos any day
Awesome helmet. Great review!!
Just ordered my Black and Green Protos helmet, sadly the mirror glasses are out of stock with Wesspur.
Much appreciated for your review on these helmets! =D
Looks cold there I could see your breath when you was talking great advice on the helmets
Yeah it’s getting colder 😊
The most beautiful lumberjack lady I’ve ever seen!!
Nice video and tour of your helmet collection im looking to get a proto
It’s a great helmet
Protos is the best helmet I’ve ever worn. The ear defenders are not great for big chippers/saws though. Husky one is a solid choice for ground work and climbing. Fitting sena comms to the protos soon for better comms with friends/safer work site and music. Cheers for the run down. Alex
In Denmark the husky is a ground work helmet only.
Thanks
Easy to fit the SENA comms into the standard PROTOS earmuffs. I did it to mine and it works great!
Awesome
My boss just bought him and me this helmet and it's
Intercom ear muff? Really great 👍.
All the best from NZ
Awesome. I love my helmet!
Another great review 👍
Awesome helmet for an awesome lady! Thanks for the review I didn't even know they made a helmet that nice, most of the ones at the local saw shops are clumsy and uncomfortable. Love that you use the correct technical terms like shit and yellow thingy lol! Keep up the great work Felixia your treeple thank you! 👍👍💪💪😁😎❤️!
Gotta keep with the correct terms 😉😆
Thank you
I have the yellow and black Protos. Great helmet.
I guess this video knocks the heck out of my backwards baseball hat and sponge ear plugs eh ?? Lol 😆
Great video !!! Keep staying safe out there 🙏
I need a helmet for just brush clearing and outdoor work , running trimmers etc ... i have a brain injury so i need a comfortable helmet that offers good protection !! I dont wanna buy a cheapo thats gonna fall apart .. thanks for the review and I definitely subscribed !!

I’m pretty sure you can get the Protos helmets through TreeStuff.com or honeybrothers
@@Femalelumberjack Ok .thanks a lot , I will check them out. Be careful out there.
Great review!
You are awesome!!!! 💪🤜🤛
Thanks 😉
Nice and smart lady,greetings from Croatia.Keep up the good working
Thank you
The Protos is a nice helmet, but very expensive... Good review👍🏼
Great review. Made up my mind and ordered one. Tired of buying the cheaper brands. Aloha from Hawaii
I will never be as all some as you never but that was a good review i need a new helmet mine was hanging in my barn and the mice used it for a nest so i have been looking at new one and this helped a lot thanks.
Glad you liked it
Need a cat.
Mine is aways catching mice & chipmunks.

Looks good on you. And I _like_ the helmet hair 😂😋
Thanks 😆
Why I got recommended this video? Who knows..
But I'm here and I'm down to watch
👌
Great video hun
Thanks for the tip, I'll take your suggestions into my choice :-) The price is with around 200 € ok.
Are you able to change out the glasses to ones with prescription lenses?
The protos look awesome, but too expensive for me and it’s way more advancend than I am.
What about the stihl advance x vent? I can see you have one in your “collection”, I’ve spot one at a very good price in a shop here in my town.
It looks very warm ? I use a Stihl Petzl helmet as I tend to get very warm when working. Can you get prescription glasses that are integral ?

I love my Protos
its pretty heavy, whenever im looking up to trim branches my neck feels like it weighs 100 pounds
Boy that might have to be a latter expense to add to my business. At 350 the custom is pricey but sick! I’ll keep this in mind for a later purchase.
check the baileysonline price
🔥🔥🔥🔥🔥🔥
Thanks!
Nice Helmet review, Stay Safe! The wood can Bite! Lol👍🏼🇱🇷
Great helmet.
Right
Great video and presentation. Take care and be careful. Looking forward to your next video. Can you get that helmet here in the US??
Thank you. Yes it’s available in the states too 👌
@@Femalelumberjack Thanks. Hope you have a blessed weekend.
Protos is an awesome helmet I own one the only problem I have is keeping my hair out of my face my hair is not as long as yours yet and on this communication system I would try a motorcycle communication system this way you're not stuck to one type of helmet or hearing protection .
by the way great job on the video Femalelumberjack
Agreed. Motorcycle coms is the way to go
Thanks
Nice looking piece of equipment. I'm more of an earplugs user rather than muffs, but I see it's possible to buy the basic helmet, and then only the accessories one wants...which could help with the cost, too.
And may I suggest you add a rangefinder to your kit to help establish where the safe zone is for your camera. ;-)
It’s my old camera and I wanted a “blacked out by tree” video as an ending for some of my videos.
Camera is fine tho 😊
I love the mesh Send It baby :p dope as heaven. You’re bad ass eh……!
Eu quero um protos !!! 😍😍
Obviously she loves the helmet
Thought we would go over the others.
I always have trouble with exposure with backlight. You appear to have strong backlight without over exposing your background or under exposing yourself. Do you have any tips for an amateur? Are you compensating with software? Artificial lighting?
I used to be a photographer so I know where to place the camera for this kind of lighting 😊
You need a good lens and be sure to place it in the shade
Szia jók a videóid csak így tovább,puszi!😘👍👌🌲🐶🐝🌷
Can you do a comparison on all the helmets?
Which helmet is the less bulkier?
I’ll look into that :)
Wow I would love one in a Canadian flag 🇨🇦 colors
Good info. How about something on an climbing ascending device? I still use a knot to climb but I’m old. Be safe be prepared
Good idea. Thank you
Have you had any problems with the husqvarna technical helmet is it worth buying
Gonna order this helmet. I broke my sthil helmet in 3 days on the farm
Does the helmet pull your hair? My helmet always seem to catch and pull my hair.
I enjoyed the video . How much do those helmets cost?
Thank you, it really depends where you are in the world 😊
the ear defender are for 26 DECIDELS ? can you get biger ones ?
change to expensiver black peltor then you can have on the ear protection all the time and hear perfectly fine! it only blocks sounds that can hurt your ears! and they have everything that you need and more
👍👍👍
😊
Hey female lumberjack what do you recommend for good chainsaw pants? I want the best
Hi great video could i ask what they are like in hot weather 👍
Like all helmets they’re hot.. but not uncomfortable as some of the other helmets I’ve tried
how long till you have to buy a new one?how long dose it last?
How did you get the ‘send it’ logo on the face shield?
I send in a vector file and Pfanner Austria made it
i have a question. On which site can I customize the helmet?
Quick look at the vents, and how you could close them. Does this make them acceptable to use while utility pruning?
I’m sorry but I know nothing about utility work.. we’ve got most of our power under ground
Love my protos but I find the ear defenders fall out of the holders quite often. Do you find this?
Never happened to me
Difference between Arborist and Forest
Something to do with straps or suspension?
Not clear
Thanks nevertheless
Where did you get the mirrored lenses??
👏👏👍👍
Thank you...I'm interested in buying a protos helmet.
You should ;)
Hi amazing video! Always smiling:) you’re so cute it’s unbelievable! You give nice and accurate reviews. Can you do the same for ropes?
Nice video👈👍👍👍👏
Thank you
Is it easy to replace the original hearing protection with 3M/Peltor hearing protection on the Protos integral?
Yes it is. You have to get an adapter but it’s very easy
It is a great helmet but the earmuffs come out of ‘track’ too easily I find.... dont know if thats down to me when fitting the comms units. i would say that is the only poor bit of the design. I have a Cardo Packtalk Bold comms unit in mine and groundie lid and now im glad I didnt buy the straight swap comms units ( cos theyre a big ticket item too) if they dont tuck into the lid space, that might annoy me especially since youre wearing the Rolls Royce ( showing my age there) of lids. Maybe they will come up with a slimmer comms unit on the next gen lid , who knows....
I was bummed about that also, but later on she mentioned that they were aftermarket Peltor because of the company that she worked for.

I noticed from pics on the Protos site that the mic is directly attached to the right muff. Making me wonder if it pushes a closely adjusted mic into your face when pushing the muffs back.
Serious helmets for professional arborists. Priced at $300 US dollars.
There I was thinking you painted 'SEND IT' on yourself...... Oh silly me.
Great video Felixia! Have you had any close calls where your helmet saved you?
Not my Protos but my Husqvarna helmet did safe me! I was knocked out by a branch in the forest and got a bad concussion
@@Femalelumberjack Good thing you were wearing your helmet Felixia. My Stihl helmet saved me. I had a Burr oak branch fall on my head.
👏👏👏👌♥️
Love 😍😍😜😜😜
EXPENSIVELY YOURS
Nevertheless
I’ll probably buy one
Once I understand diff between 1 and the Forest
