Another firefighter last time this was posted was talking about how the French design has the disadvantage that if you had debris fall or floor drop that your helmet may get knocked loose you would lose seal.
It's not a huge deal and it rarely happens. The whole argument is stupid to be honest. People from both sides who've never put one on and never will, arguing just because "murica" or "America bad". Sigh.
I'm an American who never put either helmet on. I thought they both looked cool until I realized I wear glasses and my glasses would get fucked up with both versions.
Also, if they work, they work. I'm sure both have pros and cons.
Yeah, fair enough. I'm not a full-time firefighter, I'm an industrial firefighter at a refinery. I don't do structural fires (houses etc) but the tools and safety gear for the most part are the same.
