The original leather helmet. Handcrafted to meet today’s performance requirements. Individually hand fitted, hand shaped, hand stitched, and hand trimmed to meet today's standards. With over 170 years of experience to draw upon, Cairns manufactures a 100% leather helmet that sets the standard for traditional style helmets. The Houston helmet retains the same authentic look and quality that generations of firefighters have relied on. The durable handcrafted leather shell will last for years with minimum maintenance. And like all of today’s Cairns Fire Helmets, the Houston is made with the added protection necessary to meet modern standards of safety in the firefighting industry.
