10 Questions You Should to Know about logging helmet with face shield

Most helmets will have adjustable suspensions, like a hard hat. You can expand them when you wear a toque underneath. Or you might like to try a thin, polypropylene, balaclava type hat that fits easily underneath. Or try a quilted liner made for construction hard hats.

Some helmets have a knob to adjust the suspensions, which makes it easier to change when wearing hats.

The mesh screen is easy to see through. but remember that this is a 'face' shield, and safety glasses are still recommended underneath.

I have used STIHL, Husqvarna, and MSA forestry helmets. A lot of it is personal choice, but be sure to get one that is UL approved. Typically $40 and up.

If you buy a name brand helmet you can also usually get replacement parts if they get damaged in handling/storage (face shield, ear muffs, suspension, etc.) without having to replace the whole unit. If you do take a hard knock on the head, the helmet has served it purpose and should be replaced.

I know, this has been covered many times, and I've read many of those threads, but I'd still appreciate some input on my specific situation if you guys don't mind putting a few more whacks on this dead horse.

Following a tornado at my workplace, OSHA and several other government agencies seem to have taken up permanent residence in our, uh, <ahem>, well, we are under a lot of watchful eyes... I've always worn a helmet when felling or when other overhead hazards were present, but we are now being required to have helmet and face shield every time a saw is started, regardless of the work being done. This basically means all day, every day. I've always used the Stihl helmets provided by work when needed, but after enduring a few days wearing one for 10-12 hours at a time, I'm looking for something better. They are hotter than Hades and the attached muffs are all but useless. I have a pretty narrow head, and the muffs don't seal worth a darn. For whatever anatomical reason, I just plain can't get plugs to stay in, and I actually resorted to wrapping a couple layers of electrical tape around my head to put some pressure on the muffs to get them to seal. Naturally, this is not real practical... The muffs I usually wear when not wearing the helmet (Stanley radio headphones) are comfortable and excellent at reducing sound. I don't want to go deaf trying to comply with OSHA's safety standards, so what do you guys who wear these all day recommend for a (preferably vented) helmet with high quality, tight fitting muffs?

I've read many good reviews on the Husqvarna helmets, but I'd really like something with vents. The Stihl helmet has been cooking my melon, and it hasn't even really gotten hot yet this year. I was looking at the Rockman helmets on Bailey's, but I've never seen one in person. About the only thing available locally is the Husky and the Stihl (and at this time, pretty much everybody is out of everything anyway). Are there any new ones out that are worth a look? At the moment, I'm leaning toward taking a chance on the Rockman, but I'd appreciate some voices of experience. Thanks.
