I am on my 4th New Yorker. Started out in my 1st volunteer department with a New Yorker, then moved and went into a different vollie house that had 1010s. Well, I wasn't hearing that so I took my old helmet with me. I retired that one to my wall at home and bought myself a new one. I got a paid job that uses 1010s but I was allowed to wear leather, so I bought another one. Its been 14 years of wearing leather and you'll never see me wearing anything else. LEATHER FOREVER!

I wear a Sam Houston. I've had it for about 2 shifts now and I love it. I wore a NY'er before and loved it as well. At my other FD, I wear a Morning Pride and it's comfortable but it can not compare to leather.

I have two Sam Houston's. My first is a black 1996 model refurb in 2006 and a white deluxe 2007 model. The black one has been placed on a shelf for now but it is ready to go back in service at a moments notice.

Mine is a 2008 Cairns New Yorker. I've been wearing a Cairns 1010 and wanting a leather for a long time and finally broke down and got one. Only had it a couple of months but I love it and I'll never go back!!!

leather is MUCH heavier, but also MUCH MORE traditional, and classier. There are also some benefits when it comes to durability and how long they last. I wear an N6A, but that is because of our local rules about NFPA. There is nothing better than leather!
