Leatherhead Metals started in January of 2017 by firefighters to address the need for a more durable helmet shield for the Illinois Fire Service Institute Hands On Training (HOT) Instructors in Champaign, IL that can withstand the high heat environments they are constantly exposed to.

Leatherhead Metals helmet shields are all UNION MADE in the USA.

• BUILT FOR TOUGHNESS to withstand rugged firefighting conditions without shrinking

• ENGINEERED so that a Thermal Imager can read names for accountability (see photo at the top of this post to see the difference!)

• EASILY DECONTAMINATED after a fire

In addition to firefighter helmet fronts, we also carry a full product line of desk and wall display plaques and awards, as well as helmet shield keychains!  To design your own shield, keychain, award, etc., click here.
