Oregon Chainsaw Safety Protective Helmet with Visor Combo Set Yellow

If you have more than just the lawn to tame with your trimmer this is a glorious piece of equipment. My normal routine during the growing season involved being smacked in the noggin' with rocks, cactus, woody weeds, brush, and weed chunks. This helmet makes it a whole different experience. The muffs work better than the stand alones I was using, the visor keeps everything out of the face, and of course the helmet keeps from getting whacked in the head. I didn't even realize how heavy the beating was that I was taking until it was no longer there. It also keeps all the debris out of the hair and beard. It isn't any hotter than wearing a vented sun cap and is surprisingly lightweight. Easy to adjust for sweatbands with the adjustment knob. Doesn't interfere with wearing shades. An unexpected plus is that the visor keeps gnats off the face. I guess they can't figure out how to go around. This is a steal for the price, considering cheapo muffs start at around $25. It's got a lot of plastic in it, to be sure, but I'm not sure that really detracts unless maybe you're using it every day. It may not even then because the only load it sees is moving the visor and muffs. The assembly concerns voiced by so many are gone as of 2020. The factory now assembles the suspension in the helmet. It's now a 60 second ordeal. Snap the muffs into the slots by the ears from above with the black plastic mounts facing the top of the helmet (not the chin) then slide the visor mount into the obvious slots in the muff mounts. Couldn't be easier. If you own acreage or are just tired of being pelted do your self a favor and snag one of these. Read more

I absolutely love this Chainsaw Helmet. What a great item! I purchased this based on Oregon's legendary reputation and having owned their Chainsaw Chaps and Chainsaw chains. I was not disappointed. This helmet exceeded my expectations! First let's talk Fit. I have a very large head - I wear a 2xl cap size and 7 3/4 hat size in fedoras and cowboy hats. So, I wasn't sure this would fit - but it does fit with room to spare! The inner liner retention system was already installed and is fully adjustable. I just turned the dial and voila, a perfect fit! Now let's talk quality. This thing is very durable. Yes it's plastic, but it super-hard and thick, and is built like a construction helmet. It has an extra ridge at top to help deflect impacts and breather hole vents to keep your noggin cool. The mesh screen shield is awesome. It is steel mesh, unlike others that are cheap flimsy vinyl or plastic. I compared this to a Stihl helmet, ant the Stihl helmet was like a kid's play toy compared to this Oregon model, which is superior. The steel mesh screen shield in my opinion is superior to a solid clear plastic one, because in the past, I've had the solid clear plastic ones fog up in cool weather - not something you want to have happen while you're handling a dangerous tool like a chainsaw! But this steel mesh one is fully breathable, and durable. You can also see clearly out of it. I can read through it, which states to its clarity. The earmuffs are great for multiple reasons. Of course, to dampen out noise from chainsaws. But even if you're running a much quieter electric chainsaw, these earmuffs work to both keep your ears warm in cold environments, and most importantly, they keep your helmet retained on your head better than a chinstrap. With them on, your helmet is strapped tight to your head and won't come off in case you are struck by impact, or are leaning down, bending over, looking up, etc. All in all, I give this Oregon Helmet 5-Stars. If you are on the fence about getting one of these, I highly recommend this helmet over all others. It's well worth the price, and you can't put a price on your life or safety. Read more

I bought this via Amazon Resale where it was listed as “ Condition: Used - Mint”. And it was in “mint” condition. The only problem was the previous buyer had partially assembled it, apparently didn’t like it, and returned it for a refund WITHOUT dissembling it. I almost returned it because it didn’t fit far enough down on my head to feel secure. (It felt like it would fall off if I tipped my head forward or back, no matter how tightly the headband was adjusted. And A tight headband is NOT comfortable.) But the depth CAN be adjusted. Not a lot, but just enough to make it feel secure on my head. Unfortunately that’s not included in the instructions and it took some careful looking to see where/how it could be adjusted. Once I figured it out, making that adjustment was easy and the helmet fit the way I wanted it too. I bought this helmet primarily to protect my eyes and my ears and this is just fine for that and at a very reasonable price. If you want a sturdier helmet that can take serious knocks from falling limbs or have the fit be more adjustable, then I suggest you look at the helmets professional foresters use and be prepared to pay 2-3 times more.

Much better quality and function than expected. Was expecting much less for the money but after putting together and using multiple times, I am a definite fan. I have a larger head and its still fits comfortably. The ear covers work well and are on steel wire mounts so they fit tightly and comfortably and stay snug during use and they really help to keep the hat snugly in position when moving and bending a lot. The face shield is very well designed and highly effective. Multiple detent positions so it stays flipped up or down as needed. I still use safety glasses under for when I flip it up. Despite other reviews, it took me less than 2 minutes to fully assemble. Not complicated. Highly recommend the Oregon. Read more

The helmet fits well and is comfortable. Assembly instruction were clear and easy to follow. Quality seems good and it appears to be well built and nicely finished. I wear a larger size but found no issues in quickly adjusting it to fit well. Read more
