Federal Republic of Germany since 1949 Synthetic helmet (˜2013)
In this collection since: 13.01.2013
0457 Fire Helmet from the company Casco International GmbH, Germany.
The helmet type is called PF1000 Extreme.
Casco describes her helmet as follows:

High-performance protective helmet
The PF 1000 EXTREME is setting completely new standards in the fire fighting helmet Type B segment. In spite of its high degree of functionality the helmet is one of the slimmest and most aesthetic ones presently available on the market, and will certainly find many enthusiastic customers and users. The matching shapes of helmet, multi-functional adapter and the large-scale panoramic visor are striking, and the latter can be completely retracted and providing damage protection. Additionally, it is large enough to fit on top of all commonly and currently used respirators – an unbeatable advantage. Considering the interior innovations, too, the PF 1000 EXTREME presents itself inside and outside as a reliable and modern head protection device which meets the users‘ requirements in each (dangerous) situation.
