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

  1. Lieutenant David Park –

    As a technical rescue team member, I need reliable communication integrated into my helmet. Legacy’s custom communication setup works beautifully once it’s properly configured. The sound quality is crystal clear even in high-noise environments, and the noise-cancelling microphone is excellent. The helmet itself is rugged—it’s survived confined space rescues, water operations, and structural collapses. My rating is 4 instead of 5 because the initial setup for the communication system required more technical knowledge than expected, and the wiring routing could be improved. However, once set up, it’s been flawless for 9 months of heavy use. The customization options allowed me to include my team designation and certifications on the helmet.

    “A respectful tribute that supports a great cause”

    My father was lost on 9/11, and when I saw Legacy’s limited edition tribute helmet, I knew I had to have it for our family’s memorial display. The craftsmanship is breathtaking—the American flag and FDNY insignia are hand-painted with incredible detail. But what really matters is that 100% of the proceeds support the FDNY Counseling Service Unit, which continues to help families like mine. The helmet arrived in a beautiful presentation case with a certificate of authenticity. While this is a display piece (though fully functional), it represents the best of what Legacy stands for: honoring tradition, supporting firefighters, and creating heirlooms that tell important stories. This company understands that firefighting is more than a job—it’s a legacy.
