Legacy Leather Firefighter Helmet Shield

To choose the right fire helmet shield size, measure your helmet in two spots:

• Shield Height – Measure from the helmet brim up to the top notch on your shield holder.
• Shield Width – Measure from outside-to-outside of the mounting posts or screws.

These two measurements tell you exactly which custom fire helmet shield size fits your lid.

Choosing the right size fire helmet shield

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.

Textured

• A tooled texture applied to the face of the leather. It adds visual bite and gives the shield a more aggressive, high-contrast look.

Smooth

• No surface texture added. The leather face remains flat and clean, giving the shield a sharper, more traditional appearance with full focus on layout and lettering.

Beveling/Tooling

• Hand-carved and stamped tooling with beveled detail around borders, numbers, or design elements. Adds depth and definition to the leather.

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.

The Legacy Firefighter Helmet Shield Custom Leather Front is built for those who’ve earned their place on the line. It’s not about flash—it’s about reputation. Every bevel, every curve, and every burn mark tells a story that doesn’t need to be spoken. This shield is designed to carry the weight of experience, the kind that only comes from years of running toward the heat.

The beveled edge and raised center oval give the Legacy Shield a refined, dimensional look that separates it from the rest. The outer bevel mirrors the old-school hand-cut fronts used by the veterans who came before, while the center bevel frames your company number or rank with authority. It’s clean, deliberate, and made to stand out for all the right reasons.

It’s a working piece of gear made for helmets that see fire.

The layout is balanced for quick identification and long-term durability. The beveled structure keeps depth and definition even after years of wear. Each border, rocker, and corner is trimmed tight for a professional fit that sits right on traditional lids including Cairns N5A, Cairns N6A, Phenix TL2, and similar styles. Ships unpunched so you can mount it your way—reuse existing holes, line it up clean, and make it sit exactly how you want it to.
