Probably a long shot here but can anyone recommend a company that does helmet shields? We have a rough draft version of our design on scratch paper.
We contacted Conway shields but they want $130 just to digitize our rough draft and we don’t get to see our work before it’s applied in mass.

What style are you looking for? Something extravagant?
I use RoyceShields here locally. Mike is a great guy to deal with and his shields hold up extremely well. He actually does shields for all the NOVA departments, and his turnaround time is great. Edit- Just looked at his website, he has more options than what’s shown. Just have to call and talk to him. |

I’ll look him up. We would need at least 34. It’s for our Hazmat team so yeah it will be a little extravagant lol. |

Anybody used Taylor's Tins before? As the name implies he uses Tin instead of leather. He digitized our Sketch in less than 20 mins flat. looks really good too. i'm just curious how the Tin works.

They are nice but I am a leather guy. 5 Alarm Fronts does some really nice work. I will eventually order from them. |

Those look pretty nice as well. I'm still curious on how the Tin attaches to the helmet though. Chief wanted to get quotes out and see what i could come up with. So far Taylor's is the cheapest by far after the discount he gave us for a mass order. Leather is nice but super expensive from what I've seen. Honestly though our gear won't see much use do to us being dedicated Hazmat. Heck my gear hasn't seen the outside of it's bag aside from training since i started last year. |

Two screw holes on the bottom secure it to a bracket on the helmet itself. At the top the eagle holds the tin. |

I was using Paul Conway Shields back when he was still on the job with MFD and working out of his garage.
Now his company's huge, and offers a metric ton of other stuff, but he's still "local" and reasonably priced. |

My son got his from The Fire Store. He only needed one, it had his name, department and company # on it. @$50. He is very happy with the quality.

Thank y’all for the suggestions. We ended up getting a really good deal for a mass order through Gol fire shields. The demo shield we saw looked great now we are just waiting for the final product.
