I own two of these helmets and I must say the two greatest helmets I have ever owned. It may be a little heavier then most others but the tradition of a leather helmet makes the little bit of extra weight seem like nothing. "Leather Forever"

This is the only fire helmet in my opinion. It just defines you as a firefighter the tradition and symbolism behind it is the fire service

Cairns is still the standard all the other manufacturers hope to be. Once you wear a leather helmet you'll not want to go back. Leather forever!

I am a long time leather head. I curentley own 4, my original non osha, 2 N5As and a N6A Houston. The newer style are heavier and do not seem to be as comfortable as the older ones. One of the biggest down falls of the leather helmet is price $400.00 plus for that you can get two polycarb helmets. Tradition and history live on by wearing leather.

The little give that the leather has is a much better absortion factor to me then the rigid hard my 1010 i wore cracked all the way from right to left along the brim. Not a very secure feeling to me.

Leather or not Cairns bros know how to make them. i have both a 1010 with bourkes and a Sam Huston with bourkes and both are suburb I would own only leather however but my career department will not allow the leather due to the fact we don't have a dedicated HM team and when the time comes we have to wear our gear in "It would get contaminated" boo hoo! but i actually bought my leather used because i could not afford one new but if i had the money i would buy another one. The 1010 fits better and rides better and flat out looks better.

This is a great helmet, only downside is the weight. I wore one of these up untill my injury but now I cant wear it for too long or my neck sarts to get sore. the liner is really comfortable, the fit is easy to dial in perfectly, it interfaces with any SCBAmask very easily and confortably, no pressure on the headband or mask. Cairns is the best leather helmet manufacturer out there.

I have the deluxe version of this helmet... It is by far the most comfortable and best looking leather out there. As soon as I save up more many I am getting another one for the other fire dept I am on. Leathers are the best looking and definitely the way to go.. Especially if you want to go with the traditional firefighting look!!

Great Helmet, its weighted differently than plastic helmets such as the 1010. It shows less wear, and gives you a better field of view.

I have owned and used a N5A for over 8 years and other than the fact that you must get used to the weight, I absolutely love it. The sense of tradition that comes with a leather helmet is nice and the helmet is a quality piece of equipment. My helmet came with the 3 dimensional eagle holder and not the one pictured here.

Is there any other helmet besides leather? I've had mine for at least 8 years and love it. I have an older one that I retired just because, there's nothing wrong with it and it's about 15 years old.
