Five Key Advantages of Selecting MSA’s Cairns® Helmets
Our helmets can take the heat.
Because Cairns Helmets are up to 66% cooler than fire helmets without an impact cap, our helmets actually reduce your stress level, which means you can make better decisions more quickly when time is of the essence.
Our helmets can take the beating.
When you consider the combined effectiveness of our helmet shell, crumple-zone front holder, impact cap, suspension straps and chinstrap, our fire helmets offer the most complete impact absorption system on the market. And also when you view those elements in light of our exclusive shell release system, there’s simply no comparison.
Our shell release system can give you a second chance.
Suppose you are wearing anything other than a Cairns Helmet: if that helmet is torn off your head by a structure collapse or a fall through a roof or floor, only your Nomex hood stands between your head and the chaos around you. Frankly, you deserve better. That’s why we invented shell release. In this dire situation, your Cairns impact cap is designed to separate from your helmet shell and remain on your head, shielding you from heat, debris and projectiles as you search for the nearest exit or await rescue.
Our retractable Defender Visor loves a good challenge.
Unlike other integrated visors, only our Defender Visor is tough enough to meet NFPA 1971 and ANSI Z87.1+, yet simple enough that you can change out the lens without needing tools or requiring helmet disassembly. Plus, because the entire lens stows between our helmet shell and impact cap when it’s not in use, the Defender Visor is protected from fire ground heat and debris, and it can’t be lost or misplaced. No wonder it’s our top-selling eye protection! Cairns Traditional Helmets
Our helmets cost less.
Although you may pay more upfront for Cairns Helmets, our helmets actually cost less than our competitors’ when you account for
quality, durability and ease of maintenance over their 10-year lifetime (per NFPA 1851). And when you factor in the added value
of the safety features above, there’s no contest.
