I am an unrepentant dog lover, even Maligators, so when I saw the Trident K9 Tactical Helmet by K9 Helms, I had to stop and take a look.
Here, K9 Dexter from T3 Consulting / Coastal K9, wears the Trident Helmet at SOFIC (via K9 Helm’s Facebook page).
A. The main shell is a single piece of super-tough, 3D printed nylon. It features complex curves and details that are finely tuned for performance and durability.
B. ANSI rated, UV400 eye protection is easy to install and remove, yet stays firmly in place. Independent, spherical lenses are canted to each side to maximize the dog’s peripheral vision.
C. Left and right side retention plates squeeze inward with strap tension, providing cushy-yet-firm clamping force.
D. Thick rubber strap is reversible for use by right or left handed humans.
E. 2-position rail can be used to mount a variety of devices, or it can be removed altogether in favor of cameras like the MOHOC, which may be attached directly to the helmet surface.
F. Flexible rear brace meets the neck and terminates in a flared beaver tail, stabilizing the helmet during sudden changes to head and neck angles.
G. Secured with Velcro, the multi-panel foam padding is easily replaced and made in 3 sizes to achieve the best possible fit.
H. Captive strap guides and shielded button stud provide a secure closure that’s fast and easy to operate.
I. Removable fasteners facilitate easy disassembly. Replaceable parts allow for many rebuilds — extending the unit’s service life.
The helmet is still in the development phase, but should be released late this year.

These working dog do deserve the best as the have always givin their all to everything we ask of them.
All the better when the artwork (with demon eyes and skulls) get added.
dunno how practical this is, but it looks cool as hell!
Thinking the same thing, I could just see walking my Mali down the street’s of the Bay Area and all the great looks I would get with her in one of these.
I’m pretty sure my GSD need this. Probably just for pictures and spamming the internet, but I’m still pretty sure they need it.
You should do it so we get more dog pictures. I look forward to photos of your dogs as much as I do the guns. You have inspired me to get a black GSD once I get settled down.
I really do need to get more dog pics up, my 6 month old monster is large enough to start wearing the First Spear harness, and we are working very low lever aggression/ wrap training with him.
No doubt about it, the cool helmet is the next step.
Thank you very much for the input on the dog pictures. It is often hard for me to gauge what is or isn’t liked based on FB & IG heavily restricting my posts.
Hopefully the guys and gals from Trident are reading this. Then again, if they don’t know what I do, it won’t matter much….
My baby is almost all grown up…..
Did you ask Dexter his thoughts on it?
I think I need a wiener-dog sized version, for my dachshund, for reasons.
This would be good for helo ops and halo/haho jumps.
very cool product … the Bump helmet for the pooch! really well thought out too!
