Bullard USTM: A Whole New Look in Fire Helmets

From traditional to contemporary, Bullard offers structural fire helmets to meet the needs of every firefighter. The new USTM Series traditional fire helmet sports a textured matte finish that gives it the rugged look of leather, while offering the critical protection of modern materials.

Standard on all USTM models, the patriotic Stars & Stripes Eagle is the mark of a quality traditional helmet and accommodates every leather front on the market.
