Why Professional Arborists Are Choosing Busch PROtective Helmets

When you’re climbing, cutting, or felling, your helmet isn’t just another cheap piece of generic PPE, it’s your lifeline. Traditional chainsaw helmets have served their purpose, but arborists and tree surgeons across the globe are making the switch to Busch PROtective helmets for one key reason: they’re safer, smarter, and built for the realities of working at height.

Designed to Fit: Three Helmet Sizes for All-Day Comfort

One of the standout features of the Busch PROtective helmet range is the availability of three different shell sizes. Unlike traditional “one-size-fits-all” chainsaw helmets that often compromise on fit, Busch helmets are designed with precision sizing:

• H1: 48 - 56cm - Ideal for compact head shapes, ensuring a snug fit without unnecessary movement.
• H2: 52 - 62cm - The most popular choice, balancing comfort and secure positioning.
• H3: 60 - 66cm - Perfect for bigger builds, maintaining safety without pressure points.

The result? A helmet that feels stable, balanced, and comfortable even after a long day in the canopy. For arborists working at awkward angles and in demanding positions, this tailored fit reduces fatigue and distraction — keeping your focus where it belongs.

Mesh Face Shields: Clear Vision Without the Hassle

Clear visors might look sleek, but every arborist knows the frustrations: scratches, fogging, and glare. Busch PROtective helmets solve this with professional-grade mesh face shields, called the CTV-1 Visor – Eye-Guard Mesh.

• No Scratches: Unlike polycarbonate visors that mark easily, mesh shields maintain clarity over time.
• Fog-Free: Breathable mesh means no more battling with condensation during climbs.
• All-Weather Ready: Rain, sun, or sweat, you get consistent visibility.

This makes mesh face shields the preferred choice for arborists and tree fellers, ensuring visibility and safety in every condition.

Safety Beyond Chainsaws: Certified for Climbing

What sets Busch PROtective helmets apart is their certification for climbing safety, something standard chainsaw helmets cannot match. These helmets are engineered to handle the complex risks arborists face:

• Impact Protection – Designed for falling branches, slips, and hard knocks.
• Secure Harness Systems – Keeps the helmet locked in place, even upside down on a rope.
• International Safety Standards – Exceeds EN standards:

• EN 12492:2012 – Mountaineering and climbing helmets
• UIAA 106 – International climbing safety standard
• EN 1385:2012 – Helmets for canoeing and whitewater sports

With Busch, you’re not just wearing a chainsaw helmet, you’re wearing a complete safety system for arboriculture.

Comfort You’ll Actually Notice

Long climbs and heavy gear can take a toll, but Busch PROtective helmets are built for lightweight comfort. The improved ventilation, ergonomic harness, and balanced design mean you can wear your helmet all day without that tell-tale neck ache. Compared to bulky chainsaw helmets, the difference is immediate.

The Smarter Choice for Arborists

Arboriculture demands equipment that adapts to your environment. From the three-size fit system to the mesh visor advantage and certified climbing protection, Busch PROtective helmets are raising the bar for safety and comfort.

If you’re still relying on a traditional chainsaw helmet, it might be time to upgrade. Because when you’re 20 metres up a tree, your helmet should be the last thing you’re worrying about.
