MSA Cairns® G5A Leather Presentation Helmet
Since 1836. Authentic tradition preserved.
Since 1836, Cairns & Brother has set the standard for handcrafted leather firefighting helmets. The MSA Cairns® G5A Leather Helmet carries forward that legacy with the same authentic look and quality that generations of firefighters have relied on.
Styled after the historic Model 5A worn by firefighters decades ago, the G5A preserves the distinctive lower dome and longer rear brim that defined traditional leather helmets. This is a tribute to the helmets worn by the “Old Timers” — built with the same pride, detail, and craftsmanship.
