Honey Brothers have them. I only saw them with the mesh visor though. Tried one on was really comfortable, esp if you have a small head it fit s well. I will be getting rid of the Vertex for one definitely

Have you watched the video review?
YouTube link to TREEGEAR TV video review.

Even better than pics, it clearly shows it and i turn the adjuster while focused on it. The adjuster works a lot better than the one on my old petzl.

Otherwise i'll grab one for you soon.

I've given it a good test run now and am still really diggin it.
Previously i were using the vertex vent.

I like that the muffs seem to seal really well, i always found the chinstrap fouled the muffs on the vent.

One member here pointed out that the muffs arent the highest rated peltors but i find far better noise reduction with these than the bulky H10's on my vertex vent, due to the strap interfering & usually having specs under them too.

Considering that the majority of aerial work for most would be using a ms200

I like the tinted visor too. It's like always having your sunnies there, they dont fog & sweat doesn't run onto the visor either. Also you dont have the arms of your sunnies foul the seal on your ear muffs either.

There is lots of adjustment in the head band too. So should fit either a pinhead or a big mop of dreads

Very nice head gear, but until business picks up, I need to make what i have go a long way.

Gunslinger · 11th March 2010, 11:40 PM

Looks nice. Sherrill has them for $139 in three different colors.

PTC · 16th March 2010, 11:30 PM

Hey Trev

Can you make those visors fit on a petzel helmet?

TrevMcRev · 17th March 2010, 12:14 AM

It might work if you drilled a hole in each side in the right spot.

I will put one up against a petzl & try to get an idea.

Rob Chace · 11th April 2011, 01:26 AM

yeah great helmet, running peltor 5's on mine. Although i think mine was $212 for helmet, peltor muff adaptor and peltor muffs

metzler · 11th April 2011, 07:43 AM

Got mine for 145 with shipping dirrectly from kask, it was funny i went to the website and filled out an order, jumped through all these crazy hoops ect, A month later they sent me this letter saying something to the effect of: were not sure how you completed an online order, you werent supposed to be able to do that ect... Were going to send you your helmet anyway but we dont do this, lol actually come to think of it they never even charged me!

metzler · 11th April 2011, 07:44 AM
