Introducing the Black Phenix TL2 with bourkes Traditional Leather Firefighting Helmet in Black with Bourkes—a perfect fusion of timeless design and modern safety features, tailored for the 21st-century firefighter. This helmet offers the cherished vintage aesthetic of traditional leather while incorporating advanced technology to ensure optimal protection and comfort during firefighting operations.

Unmatched Craftsmanship and Design for Black Phenix TL2 with bourkes

The Black Phenix TL2 with bourkes helmet is meticulously crafted from top-grade, vegetable-tanned leather, providing exceptional strength and flexibility. This premium cowhide not only delivers a classic appearance but also enhances durability, allowing the helmet to withstand the rigorous demands of firefighting. The commemorative 9-11 filigree design adds a touch of honor and tradition, reflecting the helmet’s deep-rooted heritage.

Advanced Protection Features for Black Phenix TL2 with bourkes

Safety is paramount in the design of the Phenix TL-2. The helmet features a high-temperature thermoplastic dome and a closed-cell energy absorption impact cap, providing superior impact and thermal protection. The inclusion of eight 3M lime-yellow NFPA reflective tetrahedrons ensures high visibility in low-light conditions, enhancing firefighter safety during critical operations.

Customizable Eye Protection with Bourkes

This model comes equipped with OSHA-compliant Bourke-style flip-down eye shields, offering reliable eye protection that can be deployed swiftly with a gloved hand. These clear flip-down shields are designed for ease of use, ensuring they remain in perfect position without accidental movement or fogging issues. They are also compatible with eyeglasses, providing unobstructed vision when needed.

Ergonomic Comfort and Fit

Understanding the physical demands placed on firefighters, the Phenix TL-2 is engineered for comfort. Its low center of gravity and balanced design reduce neck fatigue, while the exclusive Phenix suspension liner with a ratchet system allows for quick, one-handed adjustments. This ensures a precise fit accommodating sizes from 6-1/2 to 8-1/2, even when wearing additional gear like hoods or SCBA masks. The combination Nomex chinstrap, featuring both a postman slide and quick-release buckle, provides secure fastening and easy removal.

Durability and Maintenance

The helmet’s tough, vegetable-tanned leather shell is treated with a high-temperature, fire-retardant paint formulated specifically for leather products. While the paint may show wear if scraped or gouged, it can be easily touched up, adding to the helmet’s rugged patina. The flexible NOMEX stitching withstands heavy use, and the leather shell can be cleaned with mild dish soap and a soft cotton cloth, ensuring longevity and maintaining its appearance over time.

Customization Options for the Black Phenix TL2 with bourkes

Phenix offers several customization options to cater to individual preferences and departmental standards. These include choices in eye protection (goggles, Bourkes, or both), suspension liner adjustments (ratchet or nape strap), helmet colors (black, flat black, blue, fire red, yellow, white, or natural), reflective tetrahedron colors, custom brim bending (Standard, Bronx, Boston, or Colorado Curl), name stamping on the rear brim, and upgrades like the Miller 1884, 64 Cone Design. These options allow firefighters to personalize their helmets to meet specific needs and aesthetic preferences.

Compliance and Standards of the Black Phenix TL2 with bourkes

The Black Phenix TL2 with bourkes meets OSHA requirements. However, it’s important to note that while Bourke-style eye shields comply with applicable US OSHA standards, they are not certified to NFPA 1971 Standards for Structural Firefighting. If NFPA compliance is required, the helmet should be ordered with NFPA-certified goggles. Additionally, Phenix no longer installs flip-downs on NFPA-compliant helmets; they must be installed by the customer after purchase.

Conclusion

The Phenix TL-2 Traditional Leather Firefighting Helmet in Black with Bourkes seamlessly blends historical aesthetics with modern safety features. Its superior craftsmanship, customizable options, and adherence to safety standards make it an ideal choice for firefighters seeking both tradition and performance in their protective gear. Invest in a helmet that honors the past while embracing the future of firefighting excellence.
