Review on Husqvarna 592752601 Forest Head Protection Helmet for Optimal Safety in Orange by Juan Lukas

Revainrating 5 out of 5

Virtually pointless face shield.

I have never purchased this type of helmet before so I was mainly looking for a face shield to protect against large discard debris size . to distribute forces and prevent facial injuries. Durable screen versus polycarbonate were options. The boy was disappointed with this device. After pulling the protective mask out of the box, I immediately put it back to return the whole thing. This screen has almost the same rigidity as a screen door and doesn't distribute force, let alone slow it down, a little more than sawdust shavings. Maybe perfect for small shavings from a chainsaw, but for branches or larger pieces this is not a protective mask. A helmet like a shield from above also appears to be fairly flimsy plastic - certainly thinner than a regular helmet. So I'm not sure what's really there, other than an orange cap and a hair guard from the rain.

Pros
  • Meets and exceeds ISO/ANSI Z89.1-2014 Type I and exceeds Electrically Insulated, meets Class E
Cons
  • Alt
