Kask Zenith X2 Hi-Viz Climbing Helmet

The Kask Zenith X2 is a climbing-style work helmet with a chinstrap, and the hi-viz shell makes you easy to spot from the ground, the road, or the chipper. It suits climbers and ground crew who wear a helmet all day.

Why tree crews pick the Zenith X2

A climbing-style helmet stays on when you are upside down in a canopy or bent over a stump, which an old cap-style hard hat with no chinstrap will not. The Zenith X2 adds a hi-viz shell, a real advantage on roadside jobs, in storm cleanup, and anywhere a groundie or machine operator needs to see where you are.

Most crews outfit it with a mesh visor and helmet-mounted ear muffs so face and hearing protection are always on. Compare other climbing helmets if you want a vented or lighter shell.

On a long day in the bucket or on a removal next to traffic, being easy to see is part of staying safe, not just a style choice.

Fit, standards, and care

Set the headband so the helmet sits level and does not move when you shake your head, then snug the chinstrap. Check the label for the standards the helmet is certified to and make sure they match what your employer and ANSI Z133 require for the work you do.

Inspect the shell and harness before each day, and replace the helmet after any significant impact or when the maker's service life is up. Clean it with mild soap and water only; solvents and stickers with strong adhesives can weaken the shell.
