new lid

lookin at getting a leather helmet (my first leather). i am goina wait until the expo hits pittsburgh in october.

i have a large melon and looking for one thats well balanced and comfortable to wear on long calls. i like to have a light on my lid, goggles (shields suck and get in the way, plus i can remove the googles for structure fires)maybe the burks.

thanks for the help guys

Buy a 90's era n5a from ebay and restore it with paint and a new liner. Sits lower on your head and is lighter than the current New Yorker.
