Description

Since 1836, Cairns & Brother has been the original manufacturer of leather firefighting helmets.

The Cairns G5A has retained the same authentic look and quality that generation after generation of firefighters have relied on. Original style brass front holder with the impressive brim details.

Helmet is standard with stainless steel D-ring. Helmet insides feature a four way suspension system and liner without earflaps. This is similar to the older Model 5A worn years ago and still being worn by the “Old Timers.”

Lightweight and comfortable fit are the hallmark of this most desirable presentation helmet. With a lower dome and longer rear brim than today’s leather firefighting helmets, the G5A is like the helmet your father wore. Not recommended for firefighting! This helmet is not OSHA or NFPA compliant.

  • Medium: 7 1/8 – 7 1/2
  • Large: 7 5/8 – 8 3/8

6″ Leather Fronts are sold separately

    “Finally, department helmets that look and perform as one”

    We ordered 150 custom helmets for our department’s 125th anniversary, and the experience was exceptional from start to finish. The Legacy team worked closely with us to match our exact colors (Seattle gold and navy), incorporate our historical insignia, and ensure every helmet met our specific safety requirements. The quality control was remarkable—every single helmet arrived in perfect condition. Our firefighters appreciate having equipment that honors our department’s history while providing cutting-edge protection. The custom fitting service meant we had zero returns for sizing issues. These helmets have boosted morale more than I could have imagined. They’re not just gear; they’re a source of pride.

    “Meets every European standard without compromising quality”

    Finding helmets that meet EN 443, DIN, and other European standards while maintaining American-quality craftsmanship was impossible—until we discovered Legacy’s International Compliance line. We purchased 50 helmets for our department, and they’ve exceeded all expectations. The documentation and certification were complete and accurate (a rarity with international equipment). The helmets perform beautifully in both structural fires and technical rescues. Our firefighters appreciate the familiar quality and durability they associate with American fire gear. The customization process was smooth despite the transatlantic distance. After one year of use, we’ve had zero failures or defects. For international departments wanting premium American helmets that meet local regulations, look no further.
