Firefighter Helmet: Europe: In Europe and some Europe-oriented countries around the world the helmet designs vary from the U. S. designs in that they are moving towards a style without brims. The pilot-style helmets have a brim at the front of the helmet, and a shape that covers more of the head. The neck is protected by a combination of a Nomex (or similar material) flash hood, and a foil-faced neck curtain which connects to the rear of the helmet. In most designs the nomex fabric also protects the area around a SCBA facepiece and the front of the neck. A commonly used helmet is the F1 helmet although several other designs like the Dräger HPS Helmet are in use. These helmets tend to have in-built face protection (visors) and eye protection that swivel into the shell of the helmet for protection
