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..

N5A new yorker.
brought it from a owner off of craigslist in maryland,
never saw fire, and only a few mvcs.
looks brand new and i love it (:
Just ordered an n5a offline.

My first leather

Should be here by tuesday, so pumped.
used is deff the way to go, especially with some new paint
I have been on the job for 10 plus years and I have had the same Carins Sam Houston leather helmet the entire time. It has been through some good fires and when I get promoted I am planning on sending it in to Carins and having them repaint it red so I can continue using it with the next stage of my career.
Kevin,
Try this guy. He is a brother firefighter. I had one done a few years back. Great work and decent pricing. Cheaper then Cairns. www.smokeshowing.net
Sam Houston 06. If I want to protect my noggin, can't imagine using anything else.
I would have bought one of those, just to have the NFPA rating if..
It didn't weigh more, and it wasn't an extra 100 bucks for a lexan inner cap.

I'm getting my gear inspected tonight by the TO. We'll see if my n5a is acceptable
Hope your N5a was good to go. Both the N5 and 6a's are awesome.
Im on my second New Yorker, yes its heavier that the 1010's etc, but I love tradition and a leather helmet has tradition written all over it!
Just got my third leather, a New Yorker. Have had a Phenix and did not like the fit. Sold a Sam Houston to by the new New Yorker and holding on to my other New Yorker.......for now!
