What it is
Husqvarna’s Technical forest helmet combines a hard shell, a face visor and ear defenders in one unit, so head, face and hearing protection go on together. The Amazon.co.uk listing (part 585 05 84-01) confirms a UV-resistant shell, interchangeable insulation and a rating for low temperatures down to −40 °C. When we checked in October 2026 it was in stock but sold by Amazon US, so check delivery times and returns.
What to check
On a forestry helmet set, each part has its own standard: EN 397 for the helmet shell, EN 1731 for a mesh visor (or EN 166 for a clear one) and EN 352 for the ear defenders, which should state an SNR. Make sure the ear defenders’ attenuation suits your machine — loud petrol brush cutters need more than battery trimmers (see noise levels and hearing protection).
Why a helmet for brush cutting?
Strictly, you need face and hearing protection more than head protection when trimming grass. A helmet earns its place when you cut under trees and hedges, clear saplings with a saw blade, or switch to a chainsaw — and the combined unit means the visor and ear defenders are always in the right place.
Alternatives
The Stihl Function Basic helmet set is a cheaper entry-level combination. Wear safety glasses under a mesh visor. See the best safety gear for brush cutting.
