Bullard Fire Helmet

Get a Custom Fit with the U-Fit System
Congratulations! Your helmet was designed with the U-Fit System, offering 12 custom comfort settings. Follow the instructions below to
adjust the ride and balance of your helmet.
1. Try on your helmet and check the initial balance, fit and comfort by rotating your head.
2. Remove the Ear Neck Protector to better see how to adjust the back of the helmet.
3. Pop the dark colored “U Channel” (Figure 1) away from the black inner liner. There is one “U Channel” in the front of the
helmet and one in the back of the helmet.
4. You can tailor the fit by adjusting the tabs, which control ride height, and posts, which control forward / backward / level
balance.
5. Adjust the ride of your helmet. There are three tab positions on the “U Channel”: A, B, and C. Each of the tab positions affects
the location of the ratchet by approximately one inch. For the lowest “ride” on your head, position the tabs to “A”.
For a higher “ride”, position the tabs to “B” or “C”.
6. Adjust the balance of your helmet. There are two post positions, 1 and 2 on the “U Channel”. Change the post position to adjust helmet balance.
7. Next, try the helmet back on your head to see if the adjustments to the back of the helmet were helpful. You may want to make another round of adjustments as described
above to maximize the balance and fit.
Typically firefighters don’t need to adjust the front of the helmet. If however, the adjustments to the rear of the helmet don’t meet your needs, you can work on the front of the
helmet by first removing the browpad. As with the back of the helmet, you can adjust the height and post position on the U Channel piece. Keep in mind that the front of the
helmet is a key interface to the SCBA, and most people prefer position C.
8. Lastly, when making your adjustments, re-install the Ear Neck Protector and Browpad, using your fingers to smooth the surfaces to avoid bunching.
