Not to be a trouble maker here, but why in the world would you keep those melted Borx shields on there?? I guess eye protection is not a big concern, not that they are the best protection but they do help.



read back a few posts....he explains that they were replaced when he got back to the house after the fire


My appologies, missed the beginning of page # 5



Wow. That fire was a long time ago. The helmet was taken out of service when I got back from the burn unit (not bad) that night. I replaced the shields later that month. And guess what? The brand new bourkes are just as effective (not). Safety glasses are in my coat pocket.

Well here is my new one.

Thanks to my Lt. for talking me into buying this one. Its a 1010 Cairns defender. So far I love this helmet its fits better, looks better , and I love the visor.

Highly recommend you guys get one if you can!
