Details

The American Classic fire helmet combines the looks of a traditional helmet with the lighter weight and high-performance protection of its modern-style counterparts.


TherMax technology keeps heads cooler 
The American Classic is lightweight but tough. It employs TherMax composite technology. This technology is analogous to the heat-reflecting tiles NASA uses on the space shuttle. Like those tiles, it reflects heat without significantly adding weight.

The American Classic weighs just a few ounces more than most of its non-traditional, modern-style cousins. Now you don't have to sacrifice comfort for style.

Color molded into shell 
Resin Transfer Molding (RTM) technology provides color pigmentation throughout the shell for lasting good looks.

Unique size and fit adjustment options 
A complete system of adjustments provides 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 to 9 1/2 and there are three positions for height adjustment.

The American Classic's headband is cushioned with foam and covered with Nomex for additional comfort. With the American Classic, you're fighting the fire, not your helmet.

Features: 
  • Chinstrap: easy to adjust, quick-release chinstrap with postman's slide. 
  • Earlaps: Black Nomex/flannel earlaps for added neck/ear protection. 
  • 2" x 2" lime-yellow 3M Scotchlite Reflective Material has superior heat resistance and delivers higher performance than competitive reflective material.
  • Low Profile Carved Eagle front holder

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. 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).

Lion's patented Center of Gravity™ adjustment system allows firefighters to adjust the Center of Gravity™ to their preferred balance and keeps it there. You can't be at every department at all times, therefore Lion has developed a fit and adjustment video so firefighters can make the proper adjustments to their helmets.  

Configurations:
  • Bourkes (Bourkes alone do not meet NFPA requirements for eye protection)
  • Goggles (ESS Goggles)
  • 4" Faceshield
  • Goggles & Bourkes

    Helmet purchase

    Posted by Verified Buyer on Jan 20th 2015

    The delivery time is extremely slow. Order on December 4, 2014. Was sent an email stating the longest it would take would be 3-4 weeks. I've waited about 7 1/2 weeks and it hasn't even been processed in the factory. This is unacceptable.

    Comfortable helmet

    Posted by Verified Buyer on May 22nd 2014

    Very comfortable and fits much more securely than my previous helmet. I also like that it sits lower on my head than a Cairns. A little on the heavy side, but you get used to it after awhile.

    Outstanding Helmet

    Posted by Verified Buyer on Apr 28th 2014

    I am a leatherhead from way back, and it had taken it's toll on my neck. This helmet allows me to stay in a leather without being crippled. This is a fantastic American made product.

    This is a great helmet for anyone, the only drawback was the weight of the helmet, but you will get used to it

    good helmet

    Posted by Verified Buyer on Mar 12th 2013

    Great helmet I was just a little dissapointed in the internal suspension. My father has two of the older bullard full brims and their internals are much stiffer and offer a slightly lower ride on the head. New internals are comfertable but a little wobbly.

    Ok Helmet

    Posted by Verified Buyer on Nov 15th 2012

    I use this helmet every shift. It is a good helmet. It is heavy, but comfortable. I have recommended this helmet to my crew, and 2 of them have made the purchase. The only bad thing I have to say is that the ratcheting head strap is broken on 2 out of the three in my house. They will still tighten up, but lossen after a little bit of wearing it. A replacement is costly. My next helmet I might try something else.
