Time for Chainsaw Chaps

   / Time for Chainsaw Chaps #101  
I always struggle with the helmets with ear protection. It seems I never get good hearing protection and default to wearing hearing protection without head protection. I have a face screen with hearing protection that gives good hearing protection but it seems to slide down. What brands give good head/face/ear protection for all?

The Husky helmet works pretty well for me. The hearing protectors are comfortable and easy to flip up and down. The one drawback to the helmet is the wide vinyl headband. If it's warm out the sweat accumulates.

I really like my Peltors. A bit pricey. I got mine from BAILY'S. I think that Peltor may manufacture the ones that Stihl sells,

One little-known fact - the muffs on Peltors are two-position. They pop "OUT" when you pull them out and up to park on your helmet. Then when you "reinstall" them you have to "pop" them back inward. Else, they are VERY leaky and loud!

My Husqvarna helmet/muffs do the same thing and they weren't all that expensive... I like it a lot...

Funny I always use my Husky helmet with ear muffs, but for some reason stopped wearing the chaps years ago. After seeing this thread I thihk I'll go find them. I bought them after accidentally cutting through my coveralls and blue jeans without cutting my leg years ago, funny how you forget that stuff.

Apparently I need to start doing the same... especially after failing my recent hearing test.

I wear hearing protection religiously. I have noticed a slight degradation as I age and no sense making things worse. I can still hear a plane fly over or someone calling with them on, you just need to listen closely. I don’t care for music headphones, I want to concentrate on what I am doing. Much of my damage happened when I was young and around machinery, back in the day when there was really little to no attention given it. Plus age of course.

I've had ringing in my ears for as long as I can remember. My hearing damage was also around equipment when I was younger, as well as gunfire before we knew any better. As I got into my teens it was also too loud music, cars and bikes, snowsleds,...
