Bookmark or Share- Leather helmets pros/cons - My Firefighter NationProbably will as you are looking into feedback for them. With that said though, ask your Fire Chief if the helmet needs to be NFPA approved. If so, then the N6A Houston is what you need to be compliant as the New Yorker or N5A is not NFPA compliant and has no breakaway impact liner protection. The New Yorker is lighter and there is a reason.
- whats the difference? - My Firefighter NationThe Sam Houston (N6A) seems to have a higher brim on it (top of the helmet). Not sure if it does or not...I've not measured them. The N5A (New Yorker) at one time was the only one compliant with our almighty NFPA standards and the N6A was only OSHA compliant.
- The New Yorker, The Sam Houston or Paul Conway Leather helmets?The New Yorker and Sam Houston have the same outer shell. The difference is the New Yorker is only OSHA rated and the Sam Houston is both OSHA and NFPA rated. The Conway is also NFPA rated. I have worn a Sam Houston for about 12 years now. Take a beating and keeps going.
- Helmet info n5a and n6a - My Firefighter NationN5A is OSHA N6A is NFPA the N6A has an added impact dome inside the helmet to meet NFPA Req. Check your state laws and department policies on FF PPE, to make sure you get the right one.
