Bullard USRX Rescue Helmet with ESS Goggles, Dual Certified

This product is a great fitting and easy to adjust helmet. I use it as a race track medic and it allows for ease of use during vehicle extrication and patient treatment on and off the track. The weight is such that there are times you may even forget it is there.

I serve professionally as an EMT and technical rescue technician for a county EMS agency. I hold certifications in all disciplines of rescue including USAR and occasionally volunteer with a local fire department when I have free time. I purchased this helmet so that I could cover all of the rescue disciplines (excluding swiftwater) and structural firefighting if need be. This helmet has received extensive at rope and auto extrication scenes, and has been used for several technician level USAR courses; with no damage or deficits excluding scratches. The ability to adjust the internal headband allows it to be used in conjunction with various headsets including those that accompany search cameras. The ear flaps can easily be removed if not needed or rolled up and tucked away if you still want them on the helmet. Additionally, I have utilized an ARFF proximity cover on the helmet during structural firefighting training, and it fits very well over the helmet, something that I have had problems with using other helmet models. I was attracted to this helmet primarily due to the fact that it is dual certified, but also because of the price. Even with goggles it is substantially lower than other helmets in the dual certification category. My only complaint about the helmet is the fact that it does seem to sit decently high on the head of its user. It is not so much that it detracts from operation or causes issues while operating in vehicles or confined space environments, but I still feel as though it could sit lower and still offer protection. The bottom line is that my helmet has certainly not had an easy life, and it is no where near over. That being said this helmet has performed tremendously and at an affordable price. If I had to buy another helmet, it would be this one... Although I don't think I will need to replace it any time soon.

Nice Helmet, just not good for anyone that has glasses, will NOT fit glasses

Great Helmet, love wearing it on wrecks and brush fire..

My department has used this as our standard issue helmet for over 10 years. It is just like a fire helmet in construction it just lacks the large brim off the back. Works great for my EMS crews. We use the different colors to designate rank as well. We use it primarily for safety on the interstate and during extrication scenes. We also have on a limited basis used it for rope rescue work however it is heavy for that application and lacks ventilation. Overall it is a well constructed helmet with a good strap system and decent amount of size adjustment via a dial at the back of the retention system.

Exactly what is needed for my safety.
