Cairns 10-10 with bourque shield. Never really had ant problems with it. Don't care for the 880s though. Just can't make it adjust to feel comfortable.

In Europe we use a very different style of helmets for our structural firefighting.
All of them have build in face shield and eye protection.
SCBA mask can be connected to the helmet using special clips. This way u can put on your SCBA mask without taking your helmet of your head.

MSA F1SF


Draeger HPS 6200


Rosenbauer Xtreme

Does this helmet have a skull saver in it because this helmet looks smiliar to the old Philadelphian Helmet which was classified as a Rescue Helmet not an Interior helmet. So would wear that to a crash but not inside a structure it doesn't seem like it gives you the protection that you need while inside. Since I don't know much about this helmet everdently its a helmet used on the West Coast so I would like to know more about it. Hughie The 57 House

I would love to know more about each one of these helmets and the benefits and disadvantages to each one and can they be bought and made in America?? I got one question when you connect the SCGA mask to the helmet you say with clips can those clips break does it give a seal to get fresh air while in a structure?? Hughie The 57 House
