Episode 1: The Leather Fire Helmet series
มุมมอง 25K3 ปีที่แล้ว
Here’s a description of what the series will be getting into. Basically a breakdown of the All the little details regarding the leather fire helmet.
Well, let's get them up on the website ! 🙂 Ironically, I have a need for one of these. Probably two.
Cool tool!
Is that Truck 3's old rig?
Where can I get the bourkes?
Great video, will there be a video on 5a would like to learn more
Good morning from the Great State of Texas. I have never seen this tool, bit I like it. Does your department make a shorter version? What length does this tool come is? Can a person pry with this tool? Thank you and have a safe and good day
@leehart9055 hey there. We've made a 4 foot version and are currently looking into a 5 foot version as well. Standard length is 6 feet. We are updating the metal on the handle to 4130 chromoly so you will be able to pry against the handle. Should have them available in about a month.
That thing is freaking nice! If I was still in the fire service I would buy one. I think it would be nice if there was a shaft that was fiberglass too, would reduce the chance of shock if hit a live wire. I’ve seen a few departments that want either wood or fiberglass shafts and handles on their tools. But can never go wrong good ole steel.
Anyone seen a grey cap
I have a N5 with a grey bump cap short brim pre ratchet have any idea what era that is?
Same with a ratchet
Yep, first thing all off us do rip out the ratchet
I was always told the discoloration was on purpose to show when the material had been "compromised" Either way your flaps are clearly more effective!
where do i find episode 6?
eye pro?
Can you sand down the ridges if there cut wide?
So if it says 77oz it’s a N6A?
Yo Ashley ... great work . but put your eye-shields down !!!
My Sam Houston is a 12/12/2011 build i still have it today I left my department in 2013 for personal reasons but it was a little heavy but I loved it I had mine with goggles and bourks eye shields
I used the Cairns N6A Sam Houston leather fire helmet I used during my time in the fire service I still have I left my department in 2013 for personal reasons I had my helmet with bourkes and goggles
So beefy! Love these videos bro!
Epic
Ive got an 89 that feels almost brand new. These things are tanks.
Sooo….can the n5a be modified to ride like the original?
I’m trying to find those ‘85 size tets for my 85 model n5a. Do you happen to know where I could find them? I tried searching Ben 2 replacement tets and couldn’t find any. Thanks

How can I find Glo-Flex look alike tetrahedrons ? Ive seen them around
They havent been made in 20 years....
Really want this exact helmet but with the black eagle finial and flat black. Ready to purchase .
Another excellent video, thank you.
I can understand the move to the printed eagle, saving cost and utilizing a piece already in production. But do you know why they started modifying the brim shape and raised the height of the tets? Just wondering if there was a logical reason, or if someone just liked the style of it.
Brim shape back then was a matter of who was reshaping brims at the time. After Cairns and Bro. was purchased, and many years down the road, brim shapes were actually studied and engineered so that in the event of a rearward fall, the downward curve of the brim would absorb more of the impact than a straighter brim.
will you be covering cairns 1010, 1044, 880? or just tradicional leather?
No plans at this time - Im no fan of the 1000 series but there has been a few revisions over the years. Same with the 880 - but without actually collecting them and compiling catalogs, its hard to explain anything in detail.
Early 90s was when my fathers FD first allowed leathers. As a kid, I thought they were so amazing. Now working for the same FD, we are required to have N6A within 10 years, so my 3rd leather is on the way with the goal of keeping it 90s style. Great videos, keep it up!
Love this series!!!!! Patiently waiting for the N6A Sam Houston history lesson.
Im slowly compiling data and examples to do a single video on the 6A series
We are all patiently waiting. It is by far the most versatile and comfortable helmet made. AND I'VE HAD THEM ALL!!!!!!!
Hey what’s your process of flattening these brims, I’ve heard all the lines in the book from heating it up in an over, to hitting hit with a torch or steam, and letting the brim soak in hot water and slowly bend each time. What do you recommend ? Awesome video as well
Use steaming hot water from your faucet to heat up the brim and slowly reshape it. Set in place with cold water.
Do a video on the 5A
Fischkarte
Hopefully soon I’ll have the money to get a retro build as a birthday gift to myself
Great video! I'm anxious for the next video, especially the video on the N6A. I'm curious if the crown look on a new N6A can be remolded to look more like the cuts from the 90's. I understand that the material cannot be removed, but can the whole helmet be heated up and reshaped to correct the terrible look of the crown? This is not something I would attempt, I would send in the helmet for retro brass and a reshape.
That'll be hard to do but if you need to heat it up then water as hot as you can get it out of your faucet should do.
4/29/92 is my best guess when they switched. I owned a tan and a black cap both manufactured the same day.
I love these vids. Good stuff!
Looks like most of the new Cairns leather helmets are all crown shaped. Either N5A or N6A.
It truly depends on who cuts the shells for that day
Great video.
Retro for me!
My dad passed his 1980 5A down to me and it sits high and is very tight front to back. I've been trying to make it more oval but it doesn't want to stay.
It could very well be the wrong size for your head
just get MSA F1XF Gallet. better, safer and lighter than this american leather hat
Yeah thats a hard no
You mean salad bowl?
@@juliandp1768 boi current helmets look like a “salad bowl”. Gallet is the best and coolest looking by far.
