This is one of the best helmets I've used. Very lightweight and functional--a MUST buy!!

great helmet. light weight.

Great lightweight helmet!!

Excuse me if I'm out of line but isn't this review about the Defender Retractable Visor and not the 1010 Cairns helmet? If it is about the Defender then I know that people would really like it itstead of the ESS goggles that come with the 1010 helmet. The shield is great because it is out of the way but is easily accessable when it is needed. Best safety shield I've ever used.

My department just purchased these helmets. They are great for use with goggles due to not having a big bulky face shield in your way. The built in shield also stays in much better shape for a longer period of time.

the goggles are good for fast use but they lack alittle for long term stuff. They also hurt the nose if the helmet get moved too fast. I still like my regular goggles for life-flights. they do stay cleaner that the ess style goggles

I'm not the biggest fan, it takes a long time to break in the goggles in order to easily pull the goggles down with out cracking the bridge of your noes. Personally I like having the ESS goggles on my helmet rather than the built in goggles that Cairns features with this helmet.

comfortable helmet, adjustable liner. The impact cap, best on the market.

The helmet is great, don’t like the shield

original style which makes it a classic but not good for interior fire fighting

It's just plain awsome!!!

they r ok

Tried this at the local distributors show room; they seemed somewhat hard to deploy and when they came down they seemed to cut or rob into my nose which was most uncomfortable. I did however like the idea that they are hidden inside the helmet until needed, unlike the goggles which are exposed and offer an entanglement hazzard.

I just ordered me the Defender to go in my Cairns1010. I tried on a buddies of mine and loved it. It was so easy to raise and lower the Goggle with gloves on. One of the best products on the marcket.

This is the helmet my department recently purchased. I love the Defender face shield, although if you wear glasses it doesn't come down so smoothly. You need to take the glasses off for the shield to lower properly. Otherwise I like it.

My only gripe is that it's front heavy and slides foward on my head. That's not so much a problem when wearing SCBA mask.

LOVE THIS HELMET. WE JUST BOUGHT ALL NEW GEAR WITH THE AFG GRANT AND THIS IS THE HELMET WE GOT. LOVE THE FIT, LOOK, AND THE SAFETY GLASSES BUILT IN IS VERY NICE AND HANDY. GREAT RPODUCT.

just are are good love them
