LION American Legend QuickClean™ Traditional Fire Helmet

Cleaner gear. Smarter design. Legendary protection.

The LION American Legend QuickClean™ Traditional Fire Helmet delivers classic fire service styling with modern innovation designed to support firefighter health, performance, and durability. Featuring LION’s NEW QuickClean™ soft goods system, this helmet makes regular laundering fast and easy—because cleaner gear is safer gear.

The entire suspension and soft goods system can be removed in minutes, allowing firefighters to properly clean and maintain their helmet without hassle. LION’s mesh wash bag is designed to fit the complete removable system, and optional second-set soft good kits eliminate downtime—so there’s no excuse to skip routine cleaning.

Lightweight Construction. Heavyweight Protection.

Built using advanced state-of-the-art composite materials, the American Legend is engineered to be one of the lightest and strongest fiberglass traditional helmets LION has produced. The SMC shell construction provides exceptional durability while maintaining a balanced, low-profile design that reduces fatigue during extended operations.

Despite its lighter weight, this helmet delivers serious impact protection through its reinforced shell and advanced impact cap system—designed to absorb energy and withstand the demands of structural firefighting.

• Weighs approximately 50–56 oz (depending on configuration)
• SMC shell with powder-coated, impact-resistant finish
• Reinforced impact cap system for enhanced protection

Lowest Profile Traditional Helmet

The American Legend features one of the lowest profile traditional helmet designs available. The reduced ride height improves balance, mobility, and comfort—especially in confined interior environments.

LION’s patented Center of Gravity™ adjustment system allows firefighters to fine-tune helmet positioning and lock it in place. The result is a secure, stable fit that minimizes helmet movement and reduces neck strain.
