Approved PROTOS FOREST forestry work helmet
The Forest Protos helmet was designed and developed specifically for forestry and is tailored for the most hazardous areas of application. The two-tone color scheme ensures greater visibility, and the deep neck shell protects the back of the head from impacts and falls. The ventilation window not only makes it more comfortable to wear, but also acts as an additional bumper in the event of an impact before the forces act on the main shell.
Patented solutions such as the colorless metal visor, which does not limit the field of vision, and the integrated hearing protection complete the Protos Forest helmet.
The helmet is available in 24 different colors.
The Protos Forest helmet is certified according to the EN 397, EN 352-3 and EN 1731 S standards, valid for 5 years, after which the company provides re-homologation if requested by the customer*.

The helmet for the toughest missions.
It doesn't matter if it's wet and cold or dry and hot. The rear section offers special ventilation, keeping your head cool and dry, while the visor offers maximum visibility and is resistant to low temperatures. What makes
the Protos® Forest so unique is its full-face design.
We've made sure all the accessories are integrated into the helmet's inner shell, so you can't be hindered or hit by branches, undergrowth, or other obstacles!
Flexibility, what a thrill!
The
Protos ® full-face helmet can be used for forestry, tree care and climbing operations.
Chin strap, visor, neck protection and ear protection:
everything is integrated and at the same time modular .
Protos® fits perfectly thanks to the ergonomics of the shell, regardless of whether you work overhead or in a tilted position, Protos® Integral always allows a secure grip.
Due to the difficulty of freeing your hands in height, the entire modular principle can be adjusted with just two fingers!
10 times more safety
1/10 Wide field of view
The widest field of vision of all helmets tested on the market with maximum all-round visibility.
2/10 Neck protection
The neck protector shell protects the back of the head in case of falls and impacts and prevents the risk of fracture of the base of the skull.
3/10 Greater security
The sporty two-color combination offers a 35% larger visible area. This significantly increased visibility offers the wearer a significant advantage in low-light conditions (leaves, coniferous forest, sunlight, etc.) in all seasons.
4/10 Shock absorption
The special shock-absorbing structure (3-point suspension and shock absorber) of the inner shell absorbs impacts and prevents direct transmission to the head or spine.
5/10 Impact protection
For the first time, with EN 397 and EN 12492 certification, Protos® can offer protection against not only vertical but also horizontal impacts. This translates into a new type of "all-round protection."
6/10 Inner shell
Its sophisticated inner shell ensures the helmet fits like a glove. In the event of an impact, energy is distributed over a wide area and absorbed.
7/10 Additional protection
Because hearing protection is always on the head, whether in the active or passive state, it also provides additional impact protection.
8/10 Safety ventilation gate
The safety vent gate offers multiple safety features where they really matter. Horizontal and vertical impacts are absorbed by the additional shell before the forces can act on the main helmet.
9/10 Crash Absorber
5-layer shock absorption with CrashAbsorber technology. The Koroyd energy-absorbing insert is 95% air and offers fully ventilated protection. The CrashAbsorber makes the effects of impacts visible and indicates when the wearer should replace the protection.
Protective glasses 10/10
Protos® Forest safety glasses offer unsurpassed mechanical stability at extreme temperatures from -5°C to +55°C. The position of the glasses can be individually adapted to any head shape. The glasses are attached to the headband so they are always present. Active or passive status can be changed in no time with just two fingers.
10 times more comfort
1/10 Built-in ear protection
Thanks to the integrated hearing protection, there are no protruding attachments that can get caught in branches. The contact pressure on the ear defender's mounting can be precisely adjusted.
2/10 Integrated face protection
2 main advantages of integrated face protection: working without getting caught in branches or thorns and maximum 360° visibility.
3/10 Neck shell
Improved fit and grip with a wide, adjustable neck shell. The helmet sits securely on the head even without a chin strap.
4/10 Active ventilation
The design allows for active ventilation. The ventilation ducts on the top can be opened or closed with a slide. This allows the helmet to be adjusted for hot, cold, or humid weather.
5/10 Special chin strap guide
To ensure the chin strap doesn't slip under the hearing protection, we've installed a guide tab on the neck shell. This ensures comfort and noise absorption are not negatively affected.
6/10 Klima-AIR® Technology
Exceptional sweat transport with large replaceable padded inserts with Klima-AIR technology.
7/10 Size adjustment
With the patented size adjustment, the helmet can be easily put on and taken off by activating or deactivating the neck shell. Once you set a size, it will stay that way, meaning no adjustments are necessary.
8/10 2 finger-operated
All functions are available with just two fingers. The same goes for the hearing protection, which, when activated, can be mounted on the integrated shell between the head and the helmet.
9/10 KlimaAIR® Set
The complete KlimaAIR® set can be removed and is machine washable at max. 30°C. For hygiene reasons, we recommend washing the main support pads regularly and replacing them after 2-3 years at the latest.
10/10 perfect communications
Perfect communication despite long distances and noisy environments. 3M™ Peltor™ communication solutions make it possible.
