Backdraft Fire Helmet Front

Backdraft is built for firefighters who want their shield to hit harder the second the rig stops. This custom leather fire helmet shield features double beveling around the banners and center text, creating bold depth and definition that stands out on a working lid. It is clean, aggressive, and built to make your design stand out.

The difference is the live preview. As you set your number, rank, name, or station, every update appears instantly so you can dial in your design before it is made. No guessing and no back and forth — just a precise custom helmet shield tailored to your layout.

Each Backdraft custom helmet front is handmade from full grain leather and finished for daily fireground work. The double bevel cuts create real dimension that stays sharp through heat, sweat, rain, and time. Borders and line work are tuned for high visibility, giving Backdraft a defined profile that looks right on scene whether you run a Phenix TL2, Cairns N6A or another traditional helmet.

Backdraft is built for firefighters who want presence without gimmicks. It delivers a strong, professional look with upgraded detail work that separates it from basic leather fronts. This is not a souvenir. It is real gear built for the fireground and the grind that comes with it.

Mounting is your choice. Shields ship unpunched so you can align hardware your way. Reuse existing holes, drill new ones, or set a bracket for a tight, quiet fit that will not rattle.
