The Phenix First Due Custom Firefighter Helmet Shield is made specifically for the Phenix First Due helmet. It is the helmet-specific option in the collection and should not be confused with the separate 1st Due Leather Firefighter Helmet Shield, which is a bordered design offered in multiple traditional shield dimensions. Use the live preview to add the available company number, department, rank, name, radio identification, or other text. Review the spelling, colors, layout style, and leather finish before submitting the order. Three lettering layouts The current product options provide three ways to organize the identification: Simple text keeps the wording directly on the shield for the cleanest presentation. Text in banners places selected wording inside defined banner fields. Text with outlines and shadows adds more separation and depth around the lettering. Each layout can be ordered with a textured or smooth main leather body. Texture adds a worked surface, while smooth keeps the face flatter and more restrained. The compact proportions make concise text especially important. Avoid forcing long department wording into a layout intended for short, readable identification fields. Built around the Phenix First Due Each shield is handmade from full-grain leather and ships unpunched. Confirm the mounting position and hardware spacing on the Phenix First Due before punching or drilling the finished shield. Helmet setup and preferred placement can affect the final hole locations. This listing does not claim universal compatibility with Cairns, traditional leather helmets, or other Phenix models. This shield is intended specifically for the Phenix First Due. Choose the correct First Due product Select this shield when Phenix First Due compatibility is the deciding requirement. If you are shopping for the larger bordered 1st Due design with multiple size choices, compare the 1st Due Leather Firefighter Helmet Shield. That helmet-specific fit is the product’s defining distinction.
