LION Legacy 5™ Structural Fire Helmet

Superior balance and stability—without the premium price tag.

The LION Legacy 5™ Structural Fire Helmet is built to deliver the balance firefighters want, the protection they need, and the value departments demand. Designed with a modern, low-profile silhouette, the Legacy 5 offers lighter weight, smoother lines, and easier movement through tight spaces—without sacrificing durability or thermal performance.

The helmet’s tough fiberglass shell provides excellent impact protection and heat resistance, while molded-through color ensures long-term durability that won’t chip, fade, or wear down over time. Its streamlined shape reduces snag points and improves mobility, making it easier to work efficiently in confined environments.

At the core of the Legacy 5 is a suspension system engineered from a firefighter’s perspective. More than just size adjustment, the helmet allows fine-tuning of ride height and precise placement of the center of gravity. With a few simple adjustments, the helmet balances naturally on your head—reducing fatigue and improving comfort during extended incidents.

The result is a helmet that feels lighter, wears easier, and stays comfortable from first-in through overhaul.
