I have had a New Yorker and now have a Sam Houston and would never even think or getting another kind of helmet!
I have been on the job for 30 years and have always wore a New Yorker. I have been thru 3 and am on my 4th now.

To share what tools people carry in there bunker pants every shift. What speacial tool work best for you, or what tool have you found not to be horrible.

This is all about New vehicle Technology (NVT) Hybrids, new metals, new tools, and such.
I finally got my leather. It was yellow with bourkes, but its only cost $380 from $600, from fire store. The yellow is before, and the black is after. I love this thing
i agree i got a new sam houston, and when i attached my bourkes from another helmet, they curve really bad now. i have to tilt the helmet back a little so i can see.
i just bought my leather and it was yellow now, im currently in the middle of painting it. did you use the recommened type of primer and the right paint. The primer isnt cheap i got a gallon for about $40.
