Protective Landowner Powerkit

We own a few acres in California, you know, the state that is always on fire. We need to be on top of tree maintenance on our property and it's more affordable to DIY it. This kit comes in handy when we need to drop a tree or take care of one that fell from a storm. The chaps are easy to put on and even work from my husband who is 6'2".

The helmet or hard hat required assembly. It was a bit of a struggle to attach the visor piece and not crush the Debry screen/ face shield. The rest of the kit is great. I was impressed by the ability to adjust the hard hat and hearing protection to fit me rather well. The chaps are easy on and off, fully adjustable, the provided suspenders are a must. Overall great kit. SAFETY FIRST!

the powerkit came with the helmet/ear protection, apron chaps, gloves, glasses and suspenders. the glasses appear pretty flimsy, as other reviewers noted, and i have no use for the suspenders so both pieces will probably just stay in the box (which is actually decent enough to store the little stuff and the chaps so i don't misplace any of them). the gloves are decent, though i don't see them lasting more than a season or two. they're just kinda standard leather gloves. the apron chaps are great. easy to put on, easy to adjust, and they stay put. i'm a thin guy, but it looks like there's plenty of slack if you happen to have a larger frame. i was also pleased with the thickness of the chaps. it was hard to tell from the pictures just how substantial they were going to be, but they are nice and thick, say, heavy quilt thickness. hopefully i never have to test them out, but if i ever slip with my saw, i think the chaps will go the distance in keeping my legs where they oughta be. i was most impressed with the helmet. some reviewers complained about the assembly, but it really wasn't too hard. i put the screen connectors on backwards at first, but since that obviously didn't work, i just took them back out and put them in right, no biggie. the screen stops all the big stuff, but you'll want some goggles for dust protection, and it lifts up and stays up like it should when you want a better look at something. the ear muffs are comfortable and adjust easily, and like the screen, they swing away and stay where you leave them when you don't want them on. the helmet itself is thick enough to thwart swinging branches, but still light enough for long wear. it has a nice adjustable band to fit your head, but it has nothing for sweat, so you'd have to add that if you want it. i love this helmet. it's already saved my face from injury. i started using it when i weed trim too, it keeps the debris off me nicely.

Honestly if you're a diy person that isn't using this consistsntly its a great kit. Helmet n faceshield aren't the best but it's better than nothing.

I would have purchased each of the items separately in this bundle, and I would have rated all of them highly - getting them together makes it a no-brainer good deal. The helmet works well, with the hearing protection attached and the flip-up face screen very easy to use. The leg protectors are appropriately solid, well-made, and easy to put on. The suspenders are adjustable, and hold up the leg protectors comfortably. The safety glasses are light, optically clear, and comfortable to wear. The gloves feel comfortable, fit well, and seem quite durable. Bottom line, this set-up gives me a protective outfit that should prevent injuries when I'm doing heavy brush clearing. I can afford these items, but I can't afford to be injured. I think I made a wise investment .

Love these, they are great and made by a company that knows chainsaws.

Quality everything!

My husband really likes the hat and the convenience of the ear protectors. Everything fits well. I trust that the protection provided will be adequate and gives me piece of mind after a couple of close calls with potentially serious accidents with a chainsaw.
