What is your favorite helmet?
N5a plan to get one soon
That’s a good one for sure.
Matt Hinkle the one that Marcus Collier wears. Its like the crown of a legend...
Matt Hinkle I use the Sam Housten N6A and I love it !!
And btw I’m a firefighter from Saudi Arabia and the only one in the entire department who got a leather lid. I got it when I worked as a firefighter for Atlanta fire
That original helmet video was one of the first recommended firefighting videos RUclips recommended me.
Just bought my first helmet. Cairns 880, hope it sees me well the next 10 years
Theres no such thing as a problem with collecting lids! I have a TL-2 and 1044 and love them both. I’ve used a Bullard traditional hated it. The impact separated from the outer shell and their solution was velcro strips. I then switched to the Cairns 1044 and later got my TL-2. Great video man keep it up
The impact cap is designed to separate from the shell. You will notice that the chin strap is connected to the impact cap in the case you were to jump into a large body of water, like over the side of a ship, you will retain head protection rather than get strangled be the wide brimmed shell.
Traditionals and leathers are always gonna be my favorites
Just watched the old video 2 days ago loved it and love this channel keep up the good work
Thanks!
Man you’ve been making some awesome videos!! Great production
Thank you very much!
Had one in 1978 while in USAF @ Cannon AFB. Wasn't as expensive as the leather of 2021. No impact liner. Pure fire helmet.
You should do a video on what you have in your pockets of your fire gear.
That’s a good one to talk about for sure.
Just bought my first Leather. Pheniox TL-2 cant wait for it to get to me!
Nice!
About to buy my first Phenix TL-2
How you liking it, I’m debating for my first leather lid to either be the TL-2 or a N5a New Yorker
@@Swirlydread730I LOVE mine
what bend do you use with yours? its awesome
Thank you, Matt! I always enjoy your videos. Nice lid btw!
Think it’s been in all of your helmet related videos. Be safe brother.
Cool vid. I just bought me second New Yorker. I am looking to get the old one refurbished.
I’ve thought about a refurb myself. I have an older N6A that I would like to get back in action.
Dude keep up the great work and keep making videos
Thanks!
Nice sharing!!
beautiful helmet my friend
Thank you!
There's one thing i think we can all agree on:
Cowboy FireFighter Helmet Style
I love my 880 I want to try and find someone who can make me a leather version, I have Cerebral Palsy and normally just do overhaul and am a support position help move hose do venting when asked by a white helmet or captain
I love my Honeywell ev1 traditional helmet
i have a n5a new yorker
Amazing content especially for newbies like myself in a volunteer company in texas
Great to hear!
I have a question, Im still new to the Fire Service and not paid yet but wanted to know how fire departments do on custom helmets if they are NFPA compliant.
Mainly asking about TL-2
It just depends on the department. Different departments have different policies for helmets. Some allow personal, custom, etc. Some do not allow it.
You need to hold the helmet on screen

5 years we will all be wearing XF1 helmets... lol
They aren't bad at all from what I hear. Here in Australia in the agency I'm in, we all used to wear Pac Fire F3's but now we are being given the Pac Fire F15. It sits on your head better because it's that Euro-style but it's heavier and the front light falls off if you knock it and look down. If I had to pick a Euro it would be the XF1 probs.
Absolutely ridiculous helmet. It weighs 1 pound more than a formula 1 helmet that has heads up display and a hydration system. Protect your members spines with lighter more modern helmets.
Or stay back in the 1950's
Except for this helmet weighs less than my modern…. I have plenty of helmets and this is literally the lightest one I own. I’ve worn European, I’ve worn Modern, etc. So maybe it’s just your comment that’s absolutely ridiculous… because it’s definitely inaccurate… You do realize helmets from the 50’s were lighter than the helmets of today. As we have moved through the years more and more “safety” features have been added and now our helmets weigh significantly more.
