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.
