Product Information
Full details
The Portwest Forestry Combi Kit is designed for professionals working in demanding environments who need reliable head, hearing, and face protection. Its key benefit is offering integrated safety features with adjustability for comfort. A potential caveat is that the mesh visor is sold separately, requiring an additional purchase for full face protection. This kit combines a vented ABS safety helmet with high-performance ear muffs, providing essential safety gear in one package.

FAQs
Is the mesh visor included with the kit?
No, the mesh visor (PS94) and its holder are sold separately and must be purchased in addition to the combi kit for full face protection.
What is the head size range for the helmet?
The helmet is designed to fit head circumferences from 56 cm to 63 cm, adjustable via the wheel ratchet system.
Can I use other brands of ear defenders with this helmet?
The ear muffs included are specifically designed to integrate with the Portwest PS55 helmet. While other accessories might physically attach, compatibility and performance are best guaranteed with the intended Portwest components.
How often should I replace the helmet?
Helmets should be replaced immediately if they sustain impact damage, show signs of wear (cracks, degradation), or after a maximum of 5-7 years from the date of manufacture, depending on usage and storage conditions. Always refer to the manufacturer's specific guidelines.
Are the ear muffs suitable for all types of noise?
The ear muffs provide high-performance hearing protection. For specific noise reduction ratings (NRR) or suitability for particular frequency ranges, consult the product's technical specifications or contact the manufacturer.
How do I clean the foam sweatband?
The foam sweatband can be gently hand-washed with mild soap and cool water. Rinse thoroughly and allow it to air dry completely before reattaching it to the helmet.
Troubleshooting
Helmet feels too loose or too tight.
Adjust the wheel ratchet at the back of the helmet. Turn it clockwise to tighten and counter-clockwise to loosen until a secure, comfortable fit is achieved.
Ear muffs are not providing adequate noise reduction.
Ensure the ear muffs are positioned correctly and form a tight seal around the ears. Adjust their height and ensure no hair or other obstructions are interfering with the seal. Check that the helmet is worn correctly.
Chin strap is uncomfortable.
Ensure the chin strap is adjusted correctly and not overly tight. The fit should be secure but not constrictive. Inspect the strap for any wear or damage.
Sweatband is not absorbing moisture effectively.
The sweatband may need to be cleaned or replaced. Hand wash the sweatband with mild soap and water and allow it to air dry completely. If it remains ineffective, consider purchasing a replacement.
