Off-road / motocross

Classic open-face
Open-face helmet template
A seventies-style jet helmet with snap studs at the brow and a bubble shield. The shield is shown in light grey so the painted dome stays clear.
Varsity football
Football helmet template
A football helmet with jaw flaps, ear holes, a raised centre ridge and a multi-bar facemask. The facemask is shown in light grey so the shell stays clear to colour.
Hockey goalie mask
Goalie mask template
A pro-style hockey goalie mask with a cat-eye cage, a sculpted chin and a separate backplate. The cage and straps are shown in grey so the paintable mask stays clear.
How to use a helmet template
Print it. Sketch it.
Colour it in.
-
01
Print it
Download the PDF and print it on A4 in landscape. It also scales to A3 or US Letter: choose "fit to page" in the print dialogue.
-
02
Sketch in pencil
Start on the top view, where stripes begin and end, then carry each line down the left, right, front and back views so they meet up.
-
03
Colour it in
Felt tips, coloured pencils or paint markers all work. The light grey areas are the visor or facemask, trim and fittings, which you don't usually paint.
-
04
Paint a real helmet
Give the finished sheet to a helmet painter, or use it as your own plan for masking and spraying. Check with the helmet's maker before painting it yourself.
Or skip the paper
Do it in 3D instead
The same shells are in the Helmet Designer editor. Draw stripes, numbers and logos on flat views and watch them wrap round a 3D helmet as you go, then share it with one link. Free, in your browser.

FAQ
Helmet template questions
Are the helmet templates free?
Yes. Download, print and copy them as often as you like, for yourself, a class or a club. You don't need an account.
What paper size are they?
Each sheet is A4 landscape. The PDF prints on A3 or US Letter too if you pick "fit to page". The PNG is 4200 × 2970 pixels for drawing apps.
Are the views to scale?
All the views on a sheet share one scale, so they line up with each other. The sheet isn't printed at the helmet's real size.
Can I colour a template on a computer or tablet?
Yes. Open the PNG in any drawing app and fill the outlines on a layer above it. To see the design on a 3D helmet, use the free editor instead.
Can I paint a real helmet from my design?
Many painters work from a sheet like this. Ask the helmet's maker first: some paints and solvents can weaken a shell or affect its safety approval.
