Chainsaw Helmet shopping

Any opinions on the Oregon brand helmets?

I have had good luck with the hard hat from cutterschoice.com

Looks like the ratchet version is $10 more. No idea on the neck guard, looks like they don't have one. Anyways, enjoy the new helmet!

It doesn't. I just got one of the ratchet models off ebay. I could not find one on Amazon. I did not fit the face shield to my regular slip rachet Husky helmet as I don't use them for chain saw work. But the Stihl helmet that I and my wife use for weed whacking finally got too worn out to use so I got the dial ratchet Husky helmet which can be adjusted easier than the slip ratchet model. The dial one does not come with the neck guard but I don't use that either so no loss. It also comes with what looks like a better head band than the plastic one on the slip model (which I replaced with a terry cloth one so I won't have sweat running in my eyes when it's over 60 degrees).

So far this is the first link I never heard of, I had to google it with the right spelling but I tracked it down..............Now I'll check their inventory but still no neck guard on their helmets either, didn't realize that was such a rare item and I had one 20 years ago but I forgot what helmet it came with.

I'm happy with my Peltor setup.

Interesting read. You guys are serious about these. I've never, ever, ever considered wearing a helmet while running a chainsaw.

Sounds like there are plenty of good choices. That must indicate the profit margin is high.

I just use my adjustable HF face shield with 3M ear muffs. If it's hot I might throw a wet hand towel over my head before I put the other two pieces on.

I do not know, I am amazed most of these places can manufacture and sell them for around $30. There cannot be a lot of profit in that :confused3:

I think this is the one I have but mine was all assembled when I bought it.
