FAQs

What does Mips® mean for safety?

Mips® (Multi-directional Impact Protection System) is a safety innovation designed to reduce rotational forces that can be transmitted to the brain from angled impacts to the head.

Can I use this helmet for activities other than forestry?

While designed for forestry, the advanced protection features may be suitable for other high-risk outdoor activities, but always check specific safety standards and helmet ratings for your intended use.

How do I replace the visor or ear protection?

Refer to the specific instructions provided with the replacement parts or consult the Husqvarna website for detailed guides on swapping modular components.

What is the lifespan of this helmet?

The lifespan of a safety helmet typically depends on usage, care, and any impacts it has sustained. Visually inspect for damage regularly. It is recommended to replace helmets after 5-10 years of normal use, or immediately after any significant impact.

Are replacement parts readily available?

Yes, replacement visors, ear protection, and other compatible accessories are generally available through authorized Husqvarna dealers or their official online channels.

How does the visor provide an unhindered view?

The visor is shaped and positioned to maintain a wide field of vision whether it's fully lowered for protection or in the upright/standby position, allowing you to see your surroundings and the task area clearly.

Troubleshooting

Visor fogs up during use

Ensure the visor is properly positioned and consider using an anti-fog spray designed for visors. Ensure adequate ventilation if available on the specific visor model.

Ear defenders do not stay in desired position

Check for debris on the mounting points. Ensure the adjustment mechanism is clean and functioning correctly. If worn, consider replacing the ear defender set.

Helmet feels uncomfortable or shifts during movement

Readjust the internal harness for a tighter, more secure fit. Ensure the chin strap is properly fastened. The helmet may be the wrong size; consult the sizing guide.

Mips® liner feels loose

The Mips® liner is designed to move independently during impacts. If it feels excessively loose or causes discomfort during normal wear, check that the main helmet harness is adjusted correctly.

Setup, Compatibility & Care

Initial Setup: The helmet comes pre-assembled. Ensure all components, including the visor and ear defenders, are securely attached before use. Adjust the internal harness for a snug, comfortable fit. The ear defenders can typically be moved up or down on their mounting points.

Compatibility: This helmet is designed to be modular. Replacement visors and ear protection units are available and can be swapped out to suit different working conditions. Refer to Husqvarna's accessories for compatible parts.

Care and Maintenance:

  1. Cleaning: Clean the helmet shell, visor, and ear defenders with mild soap and water. Avoid harsh chemicals or abrasive cleaners that could damage the materials or the Mips® liner.
  2. Storage: Store the helmet in a cool, dry place away from direct sunlight to prevent material degradation. Avoid placing heavy objects on the helmet.
  3. Inspection: Regularly inspect the helmet for any signs of damage, cracks, or wear, especially after an impact. If damaged, the helmet should be replaced immediately.
