LA City/County helmets

I kinda like them,its different. I still like to wear my New Yorker though!

Yeah, you're right. Those fighter pilot helmets are funky. The LA helmets are just a little peculiar looking. They make your head look tall and slender.

Anyhow, as long as they protect your melon...me, I'll keep wearing my Cairns New Yorker.

We wore 'em for a while.
Pros: they're lightweight, and that goofy-looking short brim on the rear doesn't conk the top of your airpack when you look up or crawl.
Cons: the goggles we got with them weren't worth much, tightening the helmet means ratcheting your forehead into the front, and without the black edging they look like they're from Toys-R-Us.

Yep they are rather different...I would save the word funky for those european style/fighter jock helmets

[BucksEng91]

No disrespect intended to our LA City and County brothers, but does anyone else think those helmets look kind of...well....funky?

Does anyone know the make/model of the helmets worn by LA City/County firefighters?

Please don't turn this into a ****ing match of leather versus composite, just looking for some info.
