#Cheapest #FirefighterHelmet #HeroesNextDoor
If the edges start to melt at 400 degrees of indirect heat, then I doubt that's really a reliable structural firefighting helmet. It seems like it might work as an EMS helmet for MVAs and fire standbys and such, but I wouldn't take that into a fire. It'd be interesting to test the NFPA requirements for EMS helmets.
You could also bring it to an actual fire training tower and throw it in the building while there's live fire inside and see how it does.
Great idea! We never thought of testing it to ems requirements, I wonder how much closer it would be
@@HeroesNextDoor I have seen that helmet (or at least the original template) used by UK ambulance crews in documentaries. Should be good for technical jobs and the like but not for interior firefighting
its a ripoff of a preexisting helmet
@@vollelektrolysierer5773 Not the same one, Most UK services use MSA Gallet or the new version of the Rosenbauer Heros. This helmet is a knock-off of a really old Rosenbauer Heros from 20 years or so ago.
put a melon inside the helmet and strap it up when dropping. that's more exciting 👍
That’s a great idea
It’s safer by 0%😂
Turtle shell helmets are used all over Europe now, but that kind of turtle shell looks more like something from a low income fire brigade in the time slot when turtle shells were only first introduced, very unsafe and weak,
Edit; I read it's a knockoff Chinese helmet, not surprised.
Rule number one never never outfit your fire company with non NFPA certified gear.rule number 2 go back to rule number one.
it looks like old rosenbauer heros model that was used in europe 15 year ago. Now it's not approved anymore because it's not protecting ears properly. It was great helmet
What? Still in use in cologne, at least Some. They were replaced just last year...
@ Es waren Heros 2 Kölner Modell. Hatte gar nicht mehr auf dem Schirm, dass es Heros 1 und 2 gab. Nachfolger ist der Heros Smart geworden.
Although I'm not a firefigher, I know that rescuers in Estonia do use old Rosenbauer helmets, similar to the one in the video. Some even use American style of Structural helmet. Of course these are mostly replaced by Gallets, updated Rosenbauer helmets and Sicor helmets.
Our volunteer group here in thecPhilippines currently have these helmets and they are doing great for about 2 yrs now.
thank you for this review and keep it up👍
Another great video and loved when you cranked up the grill. It is a very interesting piece. If you do more video testing of it maybe include direct torch heat to it and then the eye shield. Also would be interested in seeing you place it on the ground and drop a cement block on it from the roof to see falling debris impact. Maybe that should be a selling point, it can be custom fitted to each person during first use. As the material softens, you can adjust to better fit. Keep up the great work and thank you for sharing. Stay safe brother.
You should get some European helmets and see what you think maybe the MSA Gallet F1 XF and the Rosenbauer Heros.
Both these makes can be made to NFPA standards.
@@crazyleyland5106 That's good then he should be able to test them!
Defintiv a faked Rosenbauer Heros helmet builded over 20 - 22 years ago was my first helmet as volunteer firefighter in Austria
I was just gonna write that😂 Grüße aus Tirol
I picked one of these up to use as a backup to my Bullard wildland helmets. It is a royal pain in the arse when you get to the station and your helmet went out on the first or second brush unit and you still have to respond with a helmet. I used this on sevveral brush fires and then a major forest fire where it cooked 12-16 hours a day for my 14 day rotation and the helmet did what it said it would do. On my third rotation we were in deep woods and a branch came down caught me in the helmet and shoulder. The shield was not damaged at all and my safety glasses was not damaged. NEVER trust just one line of protection for your eyes. Always wear a pair of safety glasses or goggles under the helmet eye protection, your sight counts on it, I know guys who wear the glasses,a set of light weight goggles and then the helmet eye protection.
Anyway the helmet and shield did what it was supposed to do. I did break my collar bone and arm in 2 places but my head was protected. Not sure if I would do a major interion fire with it but wildland you should be ok. For the price and after my recovery I purchased 4 more of them and now have one on each brush truck,in one tanker and the one that saved my head with me in my truck. My Bullards are nice but for the price they are great as a backup.
Awesome video as always HND! Keep it up!!
Thanks for watching!
If you want cheap and safe helmets just buy a german "steelhelmet" style helmet you can but them used for 30€
Also i am impressed with that helmet for 30$ instead of 1300$... thats a good Deal for many 3rd world country fire depts.
Stahlhelme are explicitly unfit for firefighting use as stated by all German regulatory bodies. They are conductive to heat and electricity, their shock absorption is garbage, they have no neck or ear protection, they are not designed or tested to withstand heat, etc. etc. Stahlhelme are to protect from debris and pistol fire only. They are combat helmets. Not bike helmets, not fire helmets, not climbing helmets.
@@whynotjustmyusername you know that there newer versions? which are Fire and Electricity Protectiv... there also made out of this hard Plastic stuff and there still used in like 80% of german Fire Services and Civil Protection Organisations i Myself have one from the Red Cross, also there got a Leather neck protection and also a Visir, which can all be buyed sepratly for like 10€ each... there also have an inner Strap system so there also Shock absorbant... thats the reason i sayed "steelhelmet" style there still look like the old ones but are fittet for modern use... the only point which is right, is that there dont have Ear Protection but you know... the US helmets dont have that eighter... also most of these helmets are still out of Leather, but the Fire Service is switching to newer versions now, but still you find this helmet style everywhere
@@Doc_Rainbow Stahlhelm shape and Stahlhelm are two very, VERY different things. If you say Stahlhelm, you are specifically referring to the military helmet. What you meant are the DIN helmets, formerly made of aluminium (which do not fulfill requirements for firefighting use today either) or fibre reinforced plastic helmets. Indeed, those are quite cheap yet well-tested and proven.
loving the idea of this as a series!! can you do boots and or gloves?
This helmet is obviously a china copy of the "Rosenbauer Heros" helmet (its first generation). Rosenbauer, a austrian supplier for fire trucks and equipment, brought their first own helmet design to the market in 1992, the "Heros". Since 2015 the Heros titan, the much more modern third generation, is on the market.
The original helmet brings the head regulator back out and on the side it says the brand HEROS ROSENBAUER, maybe it is a Chinese copy.
in my opinion , the suspension is the most critical component - -the SCBA face piece and your gloves/hands are the weaker link as far as heat ---- a good quality hood will go a long way towards protecting your head from heat
Very interesting!! I like to see it go into the actual burn building and hold the helmet up high in the heat. Then drop it from a higher building.
We will work on that!
Honestly for the price it would be a good buy for the 3d world countries that rely on donations from other places a lot. It’s not the best thing out there but I know a lot of places that will donate old fire gear to go over seas for stuff like that, and getting some of these to ship with wouldn’t be the worst idea
This could be something for in-house amateur firefighters of a warehouse, factory or things like that.
it's no longer available, but something like this might be good as a general purpose hurricane / natural disaster / car trunk emergency helmet or just kept in the house for disasters
I can’t tell you how long I’ve been searching for a Wildland helmet, this is very helpful
There will be more testing. What would you like to see?
This is a knockoff of the Rosenbauer Heros helmet. My department used these until last month, when we finally replaced them.
I have no idea what kind of company have build this. The helmet form was one of the first modern looking helmets from Rosenbaur (Austria) which was called Heros.
The form is the same but it is different in case of the the protection foam in the helmet, to change size of the helmet the original has a setting wheel that on the outside of the helmet. If you looking at google searching for Rosenbaur Heros Helm you will find pictures how the real helmet was looking.
It was the end of the 1990/beginning 2000 where they have done a lot of tests. The found out that this kind of helmet (Polyamid/thermoplastic) had a problem with big heat in structual fires or training buildings. The inner helmet began to disintegrate. Some near misses were noticed.
Other helmets have the same problem so Europe react with a new order in 2008. All helmets produced in Europe uses from that point Fiberglas ore something comparable.
I think this one is a rebuilt and not produced in Europe.
Sorry - my English isn't the best. But I thought I have to clarify that we are using other helmets in Europe or Germany (I am a former firefighter who didn't lost interest in fire fighting).
I just bought the Honeywell ev1 myself in matte black, so far I love it! Very comfy
Nicely done :)
That looks alot like a helmet that I bought 20+ years ago for almost $300. The brand was Fire Knight. The only problem I had was the suspension system framing was plastic and kept braking I replaced it several times then they went out of business
Love the new type of video
Glad you liked it! Thanks for watching!
Had to subscribe. You sir are entertaining to watch even tho I'm in the law enforcement scope instead of the Fire and EMS.
Have you seen the bank robbery gone wrong training days video? Hope you like it. We are working with other police stations to start doing more but there is a lot more red tape before we film. Thanks for subscribing
@@HeroesNextDoor On my way to watch it. Keep the videos coming. Love to watch the Fire and EMS side of things. Even tho I work closely with those departments there is still a lot of interesting stuff to see and learn.
The reason it so cheap as we haven't used this in 20 or more years in the uk
About to say, it looks exactly like what they were showing off when I was still in primary school and the the firefighters came to do their talk
Probably a fake of it too
The original Rosenbauer Heros helmet was never worn in the UK, except in trials. This is a cheap Chinese imitation and not a real Heros.
At the end of the video you asked for some more requirements and test methods, the "ISO 11999-5:2015" publication has a very extensive list!
We will check it out. Thank you
Lmao looks like a Star Wars helmet
Hahaha we thought the same thing!
Hey Bro...Its a copy a ROSENBAUER HEROS Helmet, Austrian Firefighter Truks. Old Helmet....There were 2 models, a basic Heros & Heros ll with a smoked face shield, both with light energy storage that they then project. and like the one you have there in yellow and orange colors. I used them ... Best Helmet
So people are saying this is not a real fire helmet. Ok this might be a copy but was the Rosenbauer hero’s an actual fire helmet ?
Awesome helmet but now it says $122 :(, Love the vids great job. Maybe lets see the direct flame to the helmet and the cloth material that would be exposed to see how it holds up
That’s a great idea, we should take a blow torch to it and see how long before it melts through
Who needs NFPA when you have Heroes Next Door!?! LOL, I am surprised that it held up, and is not a bad helmet for the price. To bad its really ugly!
Thanks for the vid, keep it up, and hope you hit the subscribe goal!
Thanks for watching! Yeah it’s definitely not good looking hahaha it looks like something a pilot from Star Wars would wear
@@HeroesNextDoor 🤣 “The Ewok Bucket”…
Let's not forget... in order to be covered by any insurance claim due to faulty equipment it must be nfpa certified.
True, this definitely is not
Nice video guys
The MSA helmet off Amazon is that standard to use a firefighter
Depends on the department but yes
wow i enjoyed watched this video smiling the whole time.
Thanks we try to have fun 🤩
I dont know if you really do this but you should checkout one of Sioux Falls fire stations.
You should try the SICOR VFR EVO. Is the standard helmet for italian firefighters and i think is one of the best helmets ever
SICOR VFR EVOs are incredible. I have yet to hear a single complaint about them outside of the standard 2 point SCBA mounts which are the norm for almost all European structural fire helmets.
I really like the look of the Sicors. They don't have any in Britain though.
I think it's Polish helmet Calisia Vulcan or some kind of its counterfeit.
Please compare different helmets like the German, the American, Russian... that would be great
I have a chieftain 1910 helmet, it’s really nice
I wish we can go back in time to where n5a helmets were under $1,000
"Not available" anymore on Amazon, but I was surprised not to see a rating/review from you on their page after going through all of this.
Good to know
I thought you said Karen helmet, and my immediate thought was yes, yes they should wear them...
You should test the cheapest turnout boot you can find
Looks more like a grass or forest fire helmet
Where was it made at what country
China
In Russia 🇷🇺 the cheapest ff's helmet costs 15$. And the common helmet that is the most popular in our country costs about 70$.
Wow! What are they called? We should test one of those!
@@HeroesNextDoor it's quite hard to buy the first one. It's called KP-80. It's a Soviet union helmet in which ff's worked in Chernobyl: omsk.mosdef.ru/catalog/voennoe_imushchestvo/golovnye_ubory/fireman_s_hat_kp_80/. Some ff's still work in them😁.
And the 2nd one is called "ШКПС" or "ШКПМ". They are the most popular but not the best and comfortable)) yandex.ru/turbo?text=https%3A%2F%2Fwww.fzashity.ru%2Fcatalog%2Fprotivopozharnoe_oborudovanie%2Fpozharnyy_inventar%2Fshlem_kaska_pozharnogo_shkps%2F%3Fr1%3Dyandext%26r2%3D
Most of the ff's buy MSA Callet or Drager or Rosenbauer for their own money instead of these 2 helmets that are given them for free.
I have also seen in Russia, a few British Cromwell F600 helmets. This type was very popular in Britain in the Noughties.
@@HeroesNextDoor a lot of Russian firefighters have helmets made by a company in St Petersburg. The newer ones are shaped rather like the older Gallets, but an older type from about 2012 has a very angular comb, giving a distinct profile.
imagine standing in an burning house wich could have up to 1832 degrees and ur helmet is just melting away
Yeah we would not recommend using a $26 helmet in an active fire hahaha
Mite be a Chinese or Asian style helmet .maybe eastern European. But .that's what they use .. we like our mor traditional/ modern styles . Be safe brother good show.
Yeah definitely not your standard American helmet
It's a knock off version of the old Rosenbauer Heroes (2 if I'm not mistaken) but it doesn't have the adjuster rotor on the outside
its a 90s rosenbauer heros 1 helmet. only used by poor/under funded services around europe and asia
would you like to share with me just one of your used firefighter helmets😅
Is that Fire man Sam?
it looks like the helmet i wear at my work in a foundry
I think I've seen videos of Chinese firefighters using something similar
Thanks for shopping with us at amazon, I work there part time, Also that helmet is a European type and I'm rather not used that for fire or what not. I'll stick to my leather or my 1010 helmet
They must not get hot water down the back of their helmets and backs in Europe
@@Blazefork we really dont get anything down our backs. thats what the neck protection is for. and even england doesn´t even use the neck protection and they dont have problems with water. EN norm helmets are safer than NFPA.
@@noahl3295 thank you for the respectful reply. ..that doesn't happen much...I'll take your word for it...I guess tradition dies hard lol
@@Blazefork tradition dies when we stop wearing them, and that won’t happen soon🤙
@@tylersprague8498 I second that! !!!
i have a bunch of old german ww2 firefighter helmets i wonder how they would hold up to modern tests, given that 3 of them were still in service by the year 2001
They would fail instantly because of the material they are made of. Cunducting heat and electricity.
@@NotfallsRene their newer version is still in use btw, made of the same material, just slightly different shape since the older ones had a bit of a nissue with getting cought on things so i doubt that they would emediately fail the test, given how high german standards are elsewhere
and do keep in mind, "newer version" means the one they came up with in 1943. the older one, the one im curious about was officially approved for use as a firefighter helmet in 1934, but already around and in use by 1929. so these are pretty old helmets, but they do seem to at least hold up to german tests so as said, id be curious to see how the perform in american ones. one of the modernised ones, of course, i dont doubt that an original and unchanged one would at best struggle.
I’ll stick with the n5a
the yellow one is a uk spec so it should have a CE test number and model number date of make. seeing you wearing the helmet tells me its a fake, as the visor should be stright clear visor
Yeah it definitely makes more sense if it’s fake, I would never trust this in a fire
when did amazon start using clear tape
😂😂😂 I forgot what the package was and opened it
Really interesting video, but I think I’ll stick with my XF1 lol
Hahaha good call
I wouldn’t use that helmet feeding a dog. If I’m going to be on a fire, I’ll use a leather helmet or a composite helmet.
Run the helmet through a burn and see if it withstands it
Great idea!
Check out the Ukrainian fire helmet from Talan and Piren plis
It s a Fake of the Rosenbauer Heros
It´s a Rosenbauer Fake Replica
Ironically most of the world uses these
I would have bought 2....one to crap in and one to bury it with
14:55 thats not the uses for a fire department helmet
Ok then what are the uses?
Heroes Next Door not breaking your head if a peace of rock or roof or wood fall on your head and saving lives i can not believe you dont know what they are for but you visit fire stations lol
@@emergencyresponsevideosand4423 unsure of your question but fire departments enter buildings to fight fire and rescue persons inside.
The fire fighter's do come close to flame and heat.
Taylor then when dose the helmet come in
Hi my name is Greg from Australia I'm a state emergency volunteer we use pacific helmets r5slv kevlar helmets could u tst one of those
UK helmets look nothing like that. And are super smart. Well I think.
Maybe I should have said European style ?
@@HeroesNextDoor that's not European it's a Chinese helmet that is a knock off of a rosenbaure helmet from mid 2000s
Fair enough. We would still love to test it more. We will also do other helmets too
Still love your channel. You're all the way to Scotland
Price has increased to $122.19
😂
😂😂😂 it’s not worth it at that price
Welp so much for a new fire helmet 🤣
Can you please answer. Could you put a helmet light on it
Yeah with the right clamps
In clicked the link and it says its $120 now
Yeah not sure why ? Its weird.
@@HeroesNextDoor maybe since this video was posted the hits went up and thus the price.
Good theory. You might be on to something
Not being a Hater Here or Anything But Carins is Owned by MSA Thus a MSA Helmet is a Carins Helmet (Unless its a European model ) And I would Like to mention your Also Taking a Look At Leathers which are Obviously gonna be way Higher Priced then a regular plastic
I did not know that. Thank you for the information!
@@HeroesNextDoor yeah Dont get me wrong love the channel man
Thanks. We appreciate it and you. We always welcome constructive criticism, it’s the only way we improve
Cairns n5a for only $850????????????? What happened
The $26 fire helmet looks like it's a cheap Chinese copy. Like the yellow fire helmet, the People's Liberation Army (military arm of the Chinese Communist Party that is often called the Chinese military) combat helmet is a cheaply made copy of the US/NATO Kevlar combat helmet. I would not trust either for head safety.
😂😂
Usa fire fighting is al about traditions, the leather helmet is the same as 50 years ago. If you look at the European style helmets, with quick mask connect we have improved fire fighters safety amd comfort, if you compair them with the helmets used in the 70's.
@Squad61 did you spell check before you submitted the comment?
@@redshirt4evr
No I didn't, who cares ?
wow 400 degrees and i would not trust that. i personally like getting up and personal with fire when im comfortable. and that helmet i bet isnt suitable for any of us
Nice safety helmet but definitely NOT for fighting fires 🤨
Merch?
We are working on it!
KP-10
Did i just watch a guy bbq a FF helmet 🤔
All the Europeans/asian/south America FFs probably have a laugh over American helmets. The level of protection is significantly lower
Stay safe

How ?

500 degrees. That aint shit
How hot should we go too ? What’s the NFPA test temp?
@@HeroesNextDoor I have no idea but thats cold for my burn facility lmao.
We will continue to search and test it more. Thank you for watching. More to come !
A lot of the face shields will destabilize around 350°F and your scba facepiece at around 450°F
@@Blazefork to be exact our Dragger Face Piece starts to fail when it reaches a surface temperature of 536 degrees F. Keep in mind that is no where near the ambient temperature of the room. Surface temperature and ambient temperature are not comparable.
NFPA 1500 -1997, Fire Department Occupational Health and Safety Program - NFPA 1500 clearly states in 5-3.8, "A growth of beard or facial hair at any point where the SCBA facepiece is designed to seal with the face shall be prohibited for members required to use SCBA." Occupational Safety and Health. So what’s with your beard ? Are you really a firefighter .
I’ve been on vacation, it gets a little long, but I shave it before going back to work
Not all states or companies are regulated by the NFPA guidelines.
Oil rig suit 🤦♂️
I love you
Ben Chang : HA!!! GAAAAAYYYYYY! 😅😅
That is one ugly helmet.
But everyone moaning about tradition, leather bla bla bla, but you have to know if Europe and other countries fire fighter's wear what they're are given. And if they stayed with tradition brass helmets would still be in use.
that looks like an EU style helmet...
ขอหน่อยได้ไหมครับบ
Firefighter with a beard? Must be a volly.

Are department is going to the motorcycle looking helmets. 🤢🤮
