Details

The most popular NFPA approved composite helmet. 

Cairns 660C Metro: Ultra low profile design with a full brim for maximum protection. No wonder it’s the most popular NFPA structural fiberglass composite helmet anywhere. It features a tough DuraGlas® fiberglass composite shell with color molded through to keep nicks and chips practically invisible.

Non-corroding, high-temperature, glass-filled polymer hardware keeps your chosen faceshield or goggle correctly anchored and in place under the toughest conditions. Ultra high-temperature (TPR) edge trim will not melt or drip. The Nomex chinstrap with one-hand quick release buckle and postman slide allows quick and easy adjustment.

A Choice of Nomex or PBI/Kevlar earlap offers increased neck/ear coverage and protection. The patented shell release increases neck and head protection, makes replacement of the protective components easy.

A high-temperature foam cap increases thermal and impact protection and a higher temperature impact cap liner resists distortion at higher temperatures. An exclusive SCBA interface front headband adjustment matches the fit of any SCBA mask and a three-position rear ratchet height adjustment ensures a secure and comfortable fit for all head sizes between 6-3/8 and 8-3/8 inches.

The flannel or leather cushioned liners depending on the configuration you choose are easily removable for washing or upgrading, so you’ll always be able to enjoy all the comfort these exceptional helmets can provide.

MSA's exclusive Defender Visor— Never lose or misplace your eye protection again. There’s no other NFPA compliant helmet eyewear as compact or as convenient. The MSA Defender Visor actually retracts into the helmet’s shell where it stays clean and instantly ready to deploy. Cairns’ unique design allows the visor to be raised and lowered in an instant, even with gloved hands. And don't be concerned about it slipping; the Defender stays securely stowed until YOU pull it down.

It’s optically correct lens eliminates peripheral distortion. Its sleek, close-fitting profile leaves nothing sticking out or hanging off the helmet to get caught on something in zero-visibility conditions or throw the helmet off balance. And maintenance is simple. The visor can be quickly disconnected from the helmet without tools, allowing fast lens changes, even during field use. Prepare for maximum efficiency.
 
A sleek, low-profile, NFPA-compliant goggle designed to fit comfortably over most prescription glasses. The high-temperature frame allows fast lens replacement. Patented Speed Clips make strap adjustments easy, even with gloves on. The snap-on/snap-off mounting system consists of simple low-profile posts on the sides of the helmet. Goggles can be used alone or with a faceshield. They can be stored on the front or back of the helmet, or quickly removed, as desired.

 4”  Tuffshield® Visor. Although it costs you no more than the clear and smoke visor options, we at TheFireStore.com believe the Tuffshield visor offers distinct advantages. We supply it as the standard equipment visor on all Cairns Traditional and Deluxe Configuration helmets for some very good reasons:  Tuffshield is significantly more heat resistant. The Tuffshield Defender visor is heat-resistant up to 500° F. Other visor materials will start to melt at about 345° Tuffshield is a heavier grade material with more impact resistance.

As the name implies, it’s just tougher.  The slight yellowish tint helps you see better, day or night. Like a pair of amber shooting glasses, they filter out harsh wavelengths and glare, improving contrast and revealing more detail under all lighting conditions—including looking at flames.  4” amber Tuffshield visor is compliant with NFPA 1971, 2013 edition. All visors meet ANSI Z87.1+ impact requirements.

Standard Configuration Includes: 
  • Flannel Cushion Liner
  • Nomex Earlaps 
Deluxe Configuration Includes: 
  • Leather Cushion Liner
  • Flannel Crown Pad,
  • PBI/Kevlar Earlaps
4" Leather Fronts are sold separately.

    Best helmet I’ve ever owned

    Posted by Verified Buyer on Jul 1st 2024

    I have personally had this helmet for a while and it is easily the most comfortable helmet I have ever worn, quick to tighten and loosen and also to take on and off. Got my bunk up time under a minute with this helmet, I trust my life with this helmet and you can too.

    Excellent Choice

    Posted by Verified Buyer on Jan 20th 2015

    I purchased this for winter and it has served me very well. The snaps and zippers are all easy to access even in cold weather and the hi-viz striping has proven useful at night.

    Bulletproof!

    Posted by Verified Buyer on Aug 20th 2013

    I have had a Metro since I could walk. Here I am, 16 years later, and could not be taken out of one! These things are indestructable, completely versatile, and can be assigned to either structural or non-structural firefighters.

    REAL protection in the oil and gas indus

    Posted by Verified Buyer on May 20th 2012

    1. I use this product when inspecting wellheads, drillings rigs, fracking of new wells, compressor stations, gas plant fractionators, gathering and distribution stations, measuring emissions from oil stock tanks and other sources. 2. This 660C Helmet provides real thermal protection for the head and face. The thin plastic ""hard hats"" in current use will give the wearer a ""really bad hair day"" if they are caught in a fire. 3. The 660C is slightly heavier that the current ""hard hats"" but on the third day of use the weight factor is no longer noticable as the neck muscles adjust.
