What kind of leather do you have?
What brand of leather helmet do you run? Mine is an '02 Cairns Sam Houston N6A. I actually bought it off eBay for $270. Got it and looked it up, the helmet is a deluxe version..its sells for about $500 or so brand new. Not a bad deal..

I have a Sam Houston that is going on 10 years old. I has been beaten and heated numerous times. It's like a timex. My other department I wear a 1010 that is about a year old. Leather will outlast that thing by a mile.

When I got on the job, I'd been wearing a 5a for 15 years (actually 2) and own a N5a as well...the department was issuing 660 wheelchocks ... I talked to my training chief and he was adiment about wearing issued gear but since the department Had yet to get my Boots, or bunker pants and I was wearing my own , He didnt have much ground to justify my Never wearing that POS... I never pushed the issue .. nor did "they" for a while My n5a was inspected and was actually better then some of the lids on the line so they were as afraid to get checked as anyone :) some times its good to work for dinosaurs .... long as you know what the scoop is ,...

I'm wearin an N6A. Started out in a metro, then helped our department switch to Morning pride. We went to 1010's then, and when I left the department, I kept mine. Now that I am sponsoring my own gear, I splurged and got the N6A, and I think its the coolest piece of gear I have ever had! I got mine on ebay too, and I probably spent stupid money, paid 445 for it, but I really wanted one!

So put a white shield on the front! My last department had all black 1010's and rank was indicated by black shields for FF, orange for Lt.'s, red for Capt.'s and white for Chiefs.

Das' cool. I am currently only one of two n6a's in the state of Hawaii right now, my wife is the other. I sponsored our gear because I didn't like what the county had to offer, so I got n6a's because Well, they're leather! Why get a wheelchock when you can go cadillac?
