JSP's EVOGuard M range offers a protection set for landscaping and forestry work, with forestry helmet and browguard systems, three visors with impact class F and factory-fitted EVOSpec eye protection.
JSP has announced its EVOGuard M range for landscaping and forestry work. The range is built around a forestry helmet system and a browguard system; it offers three visors compatible with both systems and a fold-away eye protector fitted to every unit at the factory. Head, face and eye protection are thus brought together in a single compatible system.
System components
According to the announcement on JSP's support page, the range consists of the following components:
- EVOGuard M Forestry Helmet: A helmet-based system for forestry and landscaping work.
- EVOGuard M Forestry Browguard System: A browguard-based face protection system.
- Three forestry visors: Compatible with both the helmet and the browguard system; they offer up to 80% visible light transmission and impact class F.
- EVOSpec eye protector: A fold-away polycarbonate eye protector fitted to every unit at the factory. It is marked EN166.1.F and is available with clear and smoke lens options.
JSP states that the design aims for durability and balanced weight distribution, and that the products can be easily cleaned and maintained after demanding work. Visible light transmission refers to the proportion of light that passes through the visor to the eye; the higher the value, the brighter the view. For teams working in wooded and shaded areas, this value is an important selection criterion.
Compatibility with other JSP equipment
People working in forestry and landscaping are often exposed to the risks of flying debris, noise and dust at the same time. It is therefore important that head, face, hearing and respiratory protection work together compatibly. JSP states that the EVOGuard M system is certified together with the following JSP products:
- EVO helmet models
- Force8 PressToCheck respirator
- Springfit disposable masks
- Sonis helmet-mounted ear defender range
Combining equipment from different manufacturers can lead to going outside the certified combinations. Choosing a set whose compatibility is documented by the manufacturer simplifies both purchasing and audit processes.
Points to consider when choosing
- Determine in the risk assessment whether head protection is required, and choose the helmet or the browguard system accordingly.
- To maintain visibility in shaded areas and changing light conditions, check the visor's visible light transmission value.
- If powered equipment is used, confirm that the helmet-mounted ear defenders are approved for use with the same system.
- If there is a dust or particle risk, try out whether the respirator can be worn comfortably together with the visor.
- Plan separately for other forestry-specific PPE such as cut-resistant clothing, gloves and footwear.
