American Heritage Helmet with Low Profile Brass Eagle Shield Holder

The American Heritage fire helmet is a traditional-style leather firefighter helmet that combines time-honored styling and craftsmanship with state-of-the-art advancements in design, leather tanning, and composites.

The result is a low-profile leather helmet that is attractive, durable, and comfortable.

Color won't chip 
Leather offers excellent thermal protection and durability, but not all leather helmets are equal. We process our leather with the latest chromium tanning techniques. This seals the protective qualities and provides optimum heat reflection. By coloring our helmets during the tanning process, there's no paint to chip.

Fiberglass inner layer provides strength 
The American Heritage offers additional protection through our exclusive LeatherGlas molding process. This process molds the outer and inner layers of the leather shell with a fiberglass composite to deliver outstanding protection during extreme conditions. The leather is a molded one-piece construction. This is a superior to the layered process used by others.

Unique size and fit adjustment options 
Lion Helmets has engineered a complete system of adjustments into the American Heritage to provide maximum comfort and a custom fit. The patented Center of Gravity adjustment system allows you to adjust the center of gravity to your preference and keeps it there.

The ratcheting headband easily adjusts from size 5 1/2 and 9 1/2 and there are three positions for height adjustment. The American Heritage headband is also cushioned with foam and covered with sleeve leather for additional comfort. With the American Heritage, you're fighting the fire, not your helmet.

How to Fit and Adjust LION Helmets: 
Fire helmets are essential to firefighter safety. Improper fit, whether too loose or too tight, can cause fatigue, discomfort and even serious injury.

Helmet Adjustment Guide

Lion Helmets’ 9-point adjustment system provides optimum comfort and a customized fit. Straight out of the box, Lion Helmets will fit most firefighters with a simple ratchet adjustment (accommodates sizes 5.5 to 9.5). Their patented Center of Gravity™ adjustment system allows firefighters to adjust the Center of Gravity™ to their preferred balance and keeps it there.

    new manufaturing is terrible

    Posted by Verified Buyer on Jul 17th 2017

    I have had a Paul Conway American heritage for 11 years, is still a great helmet in great shape after many many working fires. I purchased a new one 2 weeks ago as a replacement/backup and 1 fire left the cheap plastic parts warped to the point that the helmet is unwearble. I am extremely disappointed with the new construction and wouldn't but it again. buy a phenix

    Had two of these. Heavy. Not a leather helmet. The newer one does sit on the head better. If you have an option to with the Cairns of Phenix

    NOT A LEATHER HELMET

    Posted by Verified Buyer on Sep 4th 2014

    Not a leather. For the cost, why not get a true leather? This is a knock off helmet. Plastic with a thin leather layer on the top

    Best Lid I've Used Yet

    Posted by Verified Buyer on Jan 17th 2014

    Previously I've used a Cairns 1010 and a Morning Pride Ben Franklin II. I prefer the Conway over both of these. It may be a bit on the heavy side, however it is very balanced which makes up for that...almost making the weight difference negligable. The suspension system is much better quality and more personalizable than the others I've used. Overall it has a more durable feel than composite traditionals. Unless I run into catastrophic problems it's the only lid I'll be wearing.

    yes to conway helmets

    Posted by Verified Buyer on Oct 17th 2013

    I have wore a Paul Conway leather for the past 10 of my 18 yes of service and while they are heavy compared to composites they wear very well compared to other leathers. So much I've just ordered a new natural leather to retire my old one. Nothing really bad to say about it.
