MSA !!! Your quality has suffered tremendously under the MSA ownership!!!! I am tremendously disappointed in the quality of your current N5As AND YOU’RE N6A 2 of each model that are from the early 90s. Just received a NEW N6A I DO NOT RECOGNIZE IT. THE QUALITY IS EXTREMELY DISAPPOINTING!!!! It truly is not worth purchasing your leather helmets anymore. They are not the same!!!! Under MSA’s ownership and leader ship, they have destroyed CAIRNS History, name, and reputation!!!! A Message to MSA it’s not all about profits. It’s about producing a quality leather fire fighter helmet that is safe that is well-built with quality with passion with craftsmanship making sure your production team takes their time on a leather fire fighter helmet!!!! Once again, MSA slow down focus on quality!!!! don’t worry about the profits. Your company is doing very well. I’ll provide the stats below. MSA Safety Inc (MSA) Reports Solid Growth in Q4 and Full Year 2023 Earnings I will provide the earnings ⬇️ Net Sales: Q4 net sales increased by 12% year-over-year to $495 million; full-year sales up 17% to $1.8 billion. Slow down MSA focus on the quality !!!!! There are no excuses !!!!! And don’t speed up production that means you’re producing an inferior low quality product. Please don’t bring GMO’s to our leather fire helmets. Thank you

I think the XF1 could easily be made more American by having "trapezoid" decals round the top, and the option of a small leather front plate, slightly raised at the top.
Im British. In the UK the Gallet as we call it, is popular here. But I feel for the US market it needs to be much more Americanised. To have 8 "trapezoid" reflective markings round the top. The front plate design revised so it can carry a small raised leather plate. But I think, even better would be if it had a completely new outer shell, with 8 ribs on the top like the classic 8 comb. At the lower rear would be delicate embossed patterns, as found on the rear brim of traditional helmets. There would be moulding at the base of the ribbed top which could mean a thick rubber band could be placed on the helmet, that could carry a wooden wedge, or a small torch. There would of course be fixtures on the side that torches and helmet cams could be attached to.
Right? I just got mine and the suspension clips were the wrong way and I couldn’t even put it in. If they were to put it in it would eliminate these manufacturing fuckups making each helmet 100% error free.
I saw your booth during Calgary's firefighter Stairclimb Challenge. I asked if the face shields could be made to help firefighters who wear correction prescriptions and was told you also do those. Thank you for keeping our heroes safe. ❤️
As far as the ocular visor installation, it's a pain in the ass. No direction for installation and unable to locate on YT anywhere. MSA does not even have a concise path to do this.
Further from face and nostrils is lesser fog and lesser need for breadth deflector... better than mx helmet with strap-on dragon-breadth mortal-kombat (instead of strap-on goggles).
