Details

Answering the call of firefighters, MSA Cairns Helmets proudly introduces the 880 Chicago firefighting helmet. 

Due to production delays, some models of this helmet not in stock may take up to 8 weeks for delivery.

Made possible through the use of recent advancements in materials technology, the 880 Chicago fire helmet is the lowest profile high performance style helmet on the market today. The 880 Chicago fire helmet is an unparalleled achievement in size, performance, and styling. 

The Cairns® 880 traditional fire helmet offers a tough, high-temperature thermoplastic shell resistant to chipping and cracking, and a low-ride helmet design creates a low-profile for superior clearance and maneuverability. The 880's smaller, lighter, low-profile shell allows for optimum clearance and maneuverability, yet it has a very stable, balanced ride. Combines traditional style with high-tech performance.Three-position, rear-ratchet height adjustment ensures a secure and comfortable fit for all head sizes between 5-5/8 to 7-5/8.

Features & Benefits:
  • High-tech thermal impact cap provides increased heat and impact protection
  • Non-corroding, high-temperature glass-filled faceshield/goggle hardware
  • Rugged, high-temperature (TPR) edge trim will not melt or drip
  • Faceshield wing protectors for extra faceshield reinforcement
  • Soft black Nomex chinstrap features one-hand quick-release buckle and postman slide for quick removal and adjustment
  • Nomex or PBI/Kevlar earlapse for increased neck/ear coverage and protection
  • Patented shell release increases neck and head protection
  • Three-position rear ratchet height adjust for a secure and comfortable fit
  • SCBA interface front headband adjustment matches the fit of any SCBA mask.
  • Removable flannel or leather cushion liners
  • 5-year shell replacement warranty
  • Lowest-profile traditional-style fire helmet on the market
  • Meets all the protection requirements of NFPA 1971-2013
  • Minimal parts for lower service cost and easier maintenance
Due to production delays, some models of this helmet not in stock may take up to 8 weeks for delivery.

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.

Bourke Eye Shield. Traditional styling with these clear bourke eyeshields.  Bourke eyeshields exceed US-OSHA (CFR 1910) NBSIR-1977.

Note: Images shown are the old bourkes. NEW NFPA bourkes will ship on helmets ordered with bourkes.

Eye Protection Combinations (ESS Goggles with Bourke eyeshield): NFPA-1971-2018 Compliant

4”  Tuffshield® Visor. Although it costs you no more than the clear and smoke visor options, we at TheFireStore 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.

    BEST HELMET

    Posted by Verified Buyer on Oct 28th 2016

    The ""soft good "" head liner / deluxe package is the way to go with this helmet. My department has the 1010 model but I love the comfort, lightvweight, smaller brim and comfort of the 880 model.

    All departments should have these

    Posted by Verified Buyer on Jul 28th 2016

    I use this helmet for everything we are called to on shift and any training I do on and off shift. This helmet feels like it was meant to fit my head and it's really comfortable so that it's easier to wear it all day if need be.

    Works right, feels right, looks right

    Posted by Verified Buyer on Jul 26th 2016

    This helmet I think is better than the leathers. Safer, lighter, way less $$$. Easily customizable. The profile sits low,andthe dome piece is a similar shape and size to the old school leathers but with the NFPA specs to keep the wife and Chief happy.

    Best Helmet Ever

    Its light, comfortable, and sits lower than most helmets. I would recommend it to anyone looking for a leather.

    Best helmet I've owned

    Posted by Verified Buyer on Jul 24th 2016

    Bought this about two months ago now. I've had other leather helmets in my almost 18 years. This is the most comfortable helmet I've ever owned. Better than the Conway, New Yorker, Sam Houston, and it's even lighter than the cairns composite. Well it feels like it anyway. I didn't actually weigh it. It's seen some fire and held up very well. It's expensive!!! Brothers it's worth it!!! Just get it... You will not regret it. Definitely get some new tets while you're at it. The ones that come with it are trash. Also your shield needs to be a bit wider than normal. Helmets off to Phenix for making this one. Love the traditional look and the modern feel.

    A great helmet throughout the years

    Posted by Verified Buyer on Jun 11th 2016

    I have had several in different departments and have used both old and new 880's that I have bought myself because I have never liked the 1010's, 1044s, or New Yorkers. They have all been too top heavy and heavy in general and sit to high on my head and made my neck sore after an hour or so of use. I have never had that problem with an 880 and they have always fit great and sit low.

    Horrible

    Posted by Verified Buyer on May 21st 2015

    This is the worst camera ever, quality is horrible it does not produce a steady continuous film. It skips all over the place and cuts your videos into 5 min films on its own. I'm still trying to find out how to get a full refund.
