This Sena communication system integrates the headset into a helmet setup, giving arborist crews hands-free talk between the climber and ground without loose radios or clip-on parts. It suits crews that want communication built in rather than added on.

Why integrated communication

Add-on headsets can snag on branches or get knocked loose when you push through the canopy. An integrated arborist communication system keeps the speakers, mic and controls in place so you can focus on the work.

It makes rigging calls and drop-zone clears clear and quick, which keeps the job moving.

An integrated setup also means fewer cables and clips to snag on limbs or catch on a lanyard when you move through the crown. Controls that stay in the same place every day are easier to use with gloves on.

For crews that rely on constant communication, such as rigging-heavy removals or work near structures, it can make the whole job run smoother.

Before you buy

Check that the system fits your helmet model, works with your hearing protection and does not compromise the helmet's certification. Follow the helmet maker's guidance on approved accessories.

Keep hand signals and a call-and-response routine as backup, and charge the units every night.

Make sure each crew member's unit is set up and paired before the job, not in the drop zone. Do a quick radio check before the first climb, just as you would a hand-signal check.

Keep the system clean and dry as much as you can, and inspect the helmet itself as the manufacturer instructs.
