How it works
One mount. Every character.
Every topper clips onto a low-profile GoPro-style mount — the kind most action helmets already have. Slide one on, pop it off, slide on another: one mount runs your whole lineup.
Mount included
-
Mount it
Stick the included mount to any helmet — or use the action-cam mount it already has.
-
Click on
The built-in buckle slides in until it clicks — locked in, no wobble. No tools, no straps.
-
Camera or character
Pull the camera off and a topper clicks into the same mount — swap back to film whenever you like.

These are far higher quality than I expected. The plushies were not cheap-feeling and both the plushies and the adhesive to the ski helmet staying intact through multiple wipeouts for both kids. Lots of smiles from passersby.

Designed in the PNW
A small-studio story your customers love — and a margin you'll love too.
Our story
Designed in the PNW, on a mountain budget.
Banana Bear started in a Seattle apartment with a glue gun and one stubborn idea: safety gear should make you smile.
We design every character in the Pacific Northwest. Durable enough for the chairlift, light enough to forget, fun enough they'll never take it off.
