Cairns 880 Chicago Helmet - Firehouse Forums
2007年10月18日 · I have tried the Cairns 880, the Phenix TL-2, and now I am on the classic Cairns N5A. I have to tell you that the 880 is horrible. Stick with the leather.

Also, the suspension liner was so close to my head that if i smacked the rear of the helmet, the shell hit my head. The 1010 is the top of the line Cairns traditional style helmet.
