Your company. Your colors. Your shield. Hotshot is a custom leather fire helmet shield built around your choice of center lettering. Choose from a range of predesigned center lettering options, or type your own wording above the angled underline. Finish it with the rocker wording, colors, and upper artwork that represent your department.
Choose from the full selection of predesigned center text, or personalize your shield with wording of your own:
The company number sits at the lower right of the center. Upper and lower rocker banners provide space for your main identification, with an additional text line beneath the lower rocker. Personalize the available fields with your department, company, rank, name, or other wording that fits the layout.
Check the live preview to see how your center lettering works with the surrounding text and colors before ordering.
Add your department and personal identification through the available rocker text fields, then choose your color combination.
Each Hotshot is handmade from full grain leather with a textured body and beveled detailing. Upper and lower rockers frame the company lettering, giving this leather helmet front a traditional shape with a distinctive center design.
Hotshot comes in six sizes, ranging from 6 inches tall by 5.5 inches wide to 6.5 inches tall by 6.5 inches wide. Measure your helmet and shield holder before selecting the listed dimensions. Check both the required shield height and mounting width.
Your shield ships unpunched so you can position the mounting holes to match your own hardware.
Select your style and shield size, open the customizer, and choose your center lettering. Personalize the available text fields and colors, then review the complete design before adding it to your cart.
Comparing designs? The Renegade helmet shield offers its own flag and icon center configurations. Choose Hotshot for its selection of predesigned center lettering and its free text option over the angled underline. Explore all our custom fire helmet shields to find your layout.
Choose height first. Measure from the brim where the shield’s bottom sits to the top notch where the shield seats in the holder, not the top of the eagle or ornament. Choose the closest available height at or slightly below that measurement. Round down slightly between sizes.
Example: 6.3″ of available height → a 6.25″-tall shield. A 6.5″-tall shield is too tall.
Then make a quick width check. Width usually falls in line once height is chosen. Measure outside-to-outside across the mounting studs or screws and add ¾–1″ total for the minimum recommended shield width. Add this once, not to each side. You can choose a wider look.
Phenix TL-2: Usually needs 6.25″ or 6.5″ of width. Choose the correct height first.
Sizes are listed height × width. Check this design’s available options. See our fire helmet shield measuring guide for photos and the helmet reference chart.
We do not punch mounting holes. Use our shield mounting guide to position and punch them for your helmet’s hardware.
These options are not offered on every shield. When available on a design, the explanations below show what each option changes in the finished shield.
Mounting your fire helmet shield is simple when you line it up correctly and drill or punch the holes the right way. Start by matching the shield to your helmet’s holder, check alignment, and mark your hole positions before drilling or punching. Once the hardware is secured, tighten everything evenly and break it in so it sits clean and square.
