Phenix First Due Fire Helmet
Trusted by departments for over 44 years, the Phenix First Due structural fire helmet provides all the protection you want and need. The safest firefighting helmet is the one you keep on your head. Since the First Due is the lightest structural NFPA 1971 compliant helmet on the market, boasting a low center of gravity and central balance, it is less likely to create the neck and upper back fatigue so many are used to during long incidents. The First Due Helmet is compliant to current OSHA, NFPA 1971 and NFPA 1951 standards.
