Fire Helmets

Every handcrafted Cairns N5A New Yorker Leather Fire Helmet meets current OSHA requirements and offers the high quality and appearance that generations of firefighters have trusted since 1836. Each New Yorker leather helmet is handcrafted, shaped, stitched, and trimmed to last for years with minimum maintenance. As of September 2018, all Cairns® N5A New Yorker™ Fire Helmets will feature replaceable soft goods, which are easy to remove and clean. In alignment with cancer prevention directives recommended by the Firefighter Cancer Support Network (FCSN), adding replaceable soft goods to this iconic fire helmet helps firefighters better maintain the character of this leather fire helmet while improving safety. Now available: The Bronx Bend! Order your Cairns N5A New Yorker Fire Helmet with the historical “rolled” brim style direct from the MSA fire helmet factory. Both the MSA Cairns N5A New Yorker Fire Helmet (OSHA compliant) and the N6A Houston Fire Helmet (NFPA 1971 compliant) are now available with a Bronx Bend (large and medium sizes).

Constructed from through-color fiberglass composite material, this high-performance matte finish design resists cracking and chipping. The MSA Cairns 1044 and Cairns 1010 fire helmets are our most popular styles of MSA Cairns fire helmets.

Tough enough for structural or proximity firefighting, light enough for technical rescue and small enough for EMS and confined space applications. The MSA Cairns 660C Metro Composite Fire Helmet is available with the popular retractable Defender Visor, which can be easily raised or lowered with a gloved hand.

The jet-style design of the Cairns® XF1 Fire Helmet reduces snag hazards, provides a personalized fit, and houses its own integrated light module. Plus, the soft goods are removable, washable, and replaceable, helping firefighters align with cancer awareness programs as written by the Firefighter Cancer Support Network (FCSN). *Limited inventory available for indicated part numbers in our Pittsburgh Distribution Center.

All are integrated seamlessly into the design, retaining the sleek profile of the jetstyle helmet. Adding geniuine Cairns XF1 accessories not only provides added functionality, but also does not affect NFPA compliance. Installation and replacement requires no tools!
