The mesh is not metal but nylon and the dB is 23 dB not 27 dB.

I would have given this item 5 stars but the mesh face shield is ineffective at keeping sawdust off of your face and out of your eyes. I purchased a clear plastic face shield for less than $5 and modified it to fit this helmet. Now it works great.
I like the ratcheting headband adjustment. It gives you a nice solid fit. The flip-up feature of the face shield mount is very secure and keeps the shield up when not needed.
All in all, this item is worth the money.

This is a well made helmet for chain saw work. The face shield screen is much better than the type with clear plastic, no scratching or fogging up. The ear muffs have three positions; up and out of the way on the helmet, down but away from the ear so you can hear between chainsawing, and close to the ear. The sound attenuation is really good so your ears don't get damaged. The headband has a padded sweat band and a 3M brand adjuster. The bucket itself is a standard bump cap type. It won't protect you if the tree falls on your head! The downside to this is that it is a B!+ch to assemble. I gave up after few minutes and had my wife assemble it.

For those looking for a forestry helmet-- look here, this is a pelitor helmet, not some cheap play thing, if your working in an area where you need the high visibility then this is what you need. Great product *****

I really like this helmet. It is light and it provides a good fit (at least for my head). The product was very easy to put together, I didn't even have to look at the instructions. The ear protection works well and the shield holds back any shavings and small branches. It is not heavy duty but it probably works well for most people.

I like the combination of the helmet; the face shield, helmet, and ear muffs all in one. With this combination I like the light weight feel of the helmet.
What I am dissapointed in is the construction. The helmet seems to be cheaply made. The face shield and its mounts are cheaply constructed. I'm notsure how long the mounts for the ear muffs will last over time after multiple use. The face shield is cheap plastic to where I don't feel it will protect my face in any scenario other than some light weight chips flying at my face. I realize that the plastic is one reason the helmet is so light, but I'd rather have a heavier helmet with stronger components with a greater amount of protection.

This helmet has lots of adjustments and is comfortable. Excellent ear protection and the visor works well.

My accident-prone husband asked me to order this and I was thrilled! Better yet, he actually uses it (now, for my picky husband, that's a compliment!)!

This was a present for a person who had just purchased a new chain saw and I was worried about his safety when using it. He was pleased with receiving this helmet and I was very pleased with the price, quick shipment and features of the purchase.

This helmet's ear protection is excellent as well as the other safety features. A lot of chainsaw helmets do not have very good ear protection, but this one does. And the color outshines all the rest. They are dull orange.
