    AWSOME HELMET!!!!

    Posted by Verified Buyer on Jul 9th 2013

    I LOVE THIS HELMENT!!!! BEING A SMALL GUY WITH THIS HELMET FITS HEAD MUCH BETTER THAN SOME OF THE BIG DOME HELMETS. WHEN I FIRST TRIED IT ON IT SEEMED TO SIT TO HIGH BUT ONE OF THE REPS AT THE FIRE STORE HELPED ME ADJUST IT, NOW IT FITS PERFECT. EVEN HAS A ADJUSTABLE FRONT HEAD BAND THAT IS QUICK AND EASY TO FIT A MASK PEICE.THE LOW PROFILE AND LIGHT WEIGHT MAKE IT PERFECT FOR TIGHT SPACES AND LONG DURATIONS WEARING THIS HELMET. I HAVE HAD THIS HELMET FOR ABOUT TWO YEARS AND HAVE NOT FOUND ANY NEGITIVE POINT TO IT YET WITH THE ONE EXCEPTION BEING IF YOU HAVE A LARGE HEAD. I WOULD DEFFINATLY RECOMMED THIS HELMET!!!!

    to heavy for a small helmet

    Posted by Verified Buyer on Apr 26th 2013

    I bought this helmet because of the low profile and which they claimed was light weight. Its not light weight at all!!! It gets heavy after a few minutes and starts falling all over the place, just doesnt sit right.... and trust me, i have a small head. Its also tight on my temple causing head aches. If your looking for a helmet youll be better off with the 1010 or 1044 which is much lighter and comfortable. Trust me!!! Too heavy for a small helmet!

    Terrible helmet

    Posted by Verified Buyer on Apr 9th 2013

    This helmet sits too high on your head, which makes it top heavy. It wants to tip and fall off your head if you don't have it cinched down at all times. They're also incredibly uncomfortable. I get headaches from wearing it due to pressure points on the temple. We purchased Bullard helmets to replace these. They sit lower, and are very comfortable.

    the 880

    Posted by Verified Buyer on Jan 18th 2013

    I've had this helmet for just over 2 years now and I think it's a great helmet. It's held up through fires and stuff falling on it just fine. It's lower profile and rides better than the 1044 and 1010 and which is great. I've got the standard version and do wish I had gone with the Deluxe version. Not a big deal though. I've got a fairly large head (although not huge) and the helmet fits fine, so I'm curious as to how big of a head it would take to not fit properly. The shield does seem huge at 6-1/4"" and I will be going through MSA soon to get a 5"" shield for it. Other than that, it's a great helmet.

    Great helmet, but too small for my head

    Posted by Verified Buyer on Jan 2nd 2013

    I got this helmet for Christmas. It's light, it's pretty comfortable despite being too small of my head. The plastic impact cap sits on the back of my head. It's light, and much less top heavy than the 1010 and 1044's I have tried. Unfortunately because of my large, and apparently oddly shaped head, it is on it's way back in exchange for a 1044. Ideally, find someone who has one and try it before you buy. But if you are looking for a traditional that is light weight, rides low and isn't too top heavy, this is the one! Get the deluxe too!

    To small

    Posted by Verified Buyer on Feb 15th 2012

    I bought this helmet for use on shift. I never got a chance to even wear it once for it was to small and very constricting all around. There was no size selection (one size fits all) when purchases. If you have a head bigger than 7"", this would be to small. Tried to adjust but did not solve the issue. internal guts seemed very cheap. Very disappointed overall.
