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.

A plush topper turned over to show its built-in buckle clip, held next to a helmet with the peel-and-stick mount already attached to its crown

Mount included

  1. Mount it

    Stick the included mount to any helmet — or use the action-cam mount it already has.

  2. Click on

    The built-in buckle slides in until it clicks — locked in, no wobble. No tools, no straps.

  3. Camera or character

    Pull the camera off and a topper clicks into the same mount — swap back to film whenever you like.

  • Two plush chicken toppers on a ski helmet with mountains behind
    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.

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.
