Cairns N6A Houston Leather Helmet

Utilizing over 170 years of industry experience, MSA’s reputation as the worldwide leader in worker protection and safety-product innovation is well-deserved. The Cairns N6A Houston Leather Helmet epitomizes this legacy of excellence, offering the high quality and appearance that generations of firefighters have trusted since 1836. Here’s the deal:

Setting the standard for traditional-style helmets, each Cairns N6A Houston Leather Helmet is individually hand-fitted, hand-shaped, hand-stitched, and hand-trimmed to last for years without maintenance. The Cairns N6A Houston Leather Helmet meets the NFPA 1971, 2013 Edition for structural firefighting standards thanks to the added protection it offers. Here’re some of its many benefits to keep in mind:

• an engineered impact cap comprised of high-temperature, rigid urethane foam with a durable, Lexan outer dome and an ABS inner liner offer advanced thermal, impact, and penetration protection

• the helmet’s unique design increases protection where it’s needed most – at the sides

• the six-way, overhead-strap suspension system reduces any shock transmission at the top of the helmet, while featuring a snug, comfy fit at the same time

• it is comprised of a Sateen cotton liner with a leather-brow patch that is sewn to high-density foam backing around the liner’s circumference

• its soft, black Nomex chinstrap features a one-hand, quick-release buckle and the postman slide offers quick, easy adjustment

• the helmets are available in a number of different colors, including yellow, white, red, and more

• jumbo earlaps feature increased neck coverage and protection

• Cairns offers insurance against fireground damage along with their five-year shell-replacement warranty

• eye protection includes Bourke Eyeshields that easily exceed US-OSHA (CFR 1910) NBSIR-1977 standards

• six-inch fronts are sold separately

Additionally, the Cairns 4-inch Tuffshield features superior thermal and scratch resistance. Cairns faceshields are equipped with wing protectors that are constructed of the same fire-proven, non-metallic material found in Cairns faceshield hardware that gives bolstered face protection coupled with increased strength and stability at high temperatures.
