Yes, but it's totally possible to buy European jet-style helmets. You can order them from any fire supply. I know only one guy who uses one, he's British, and gets made fun of constantly for it.
You never see them because the 1780 leathers look, and I quote, "cool as fuck, bro". You'll get guys spending $1000 of their own money to get a leather NYC style helmet that is less safe than the one supplied by their company.
Fashion firefighting is such a big deal. You'll still get people who refuse to wash all the cancerous carcinogens off their gear because it "looks cool" to have them smokey.
