interesting... i was running the strap down the outside and across. i'll have to try this. Silly I didn't think of studio creations since thats where my armor is from (but not the bucket)

Today, I ran a temporary elastic strap through the bucket. Although the natural direction it points toward is under may jaw, if I push it forward over my chin, it surprisingly seems to help! I'd need a chin cup though to hold it in place. Do you know where I can get one? Also, it another thing to push my face through. Can you tell me how you run the elastic through all the parts so its adjustable?

Over a decade in the legion, and still there's always more improvements to make. I have two helmet questions... 1) The sides where the chin straps would run (I've never used one) cuts in fairly sharply on my bucket. I wear glasses and its always been a real squeeze to shove the glasses past and sometimes its easier to flip up the visor and put them on after the bucket. Well, I now wear hearing aids which adds a layer of complication and junk around my ears to it. I've thought about hacking off the bottom of the chin strap area where its tightest. However my bucket is fiberglass and I'm concerned I'll just have a jagged edge that can never really be PROPERLY repaired. 2) Being fiberglass, my bucket has some weight to it and a lot of it towards the front. So I'm often having to push it up at the chin and it sags down while wearing it. So, as stated in my first questions, I've never had a chin strap. Does it really help prevent forward/back shifting? Right now I have padding from a hockey helmet inside but wondering if I could find something more like motorcycle helmet padding where its a tighter fit. Again, all the "stuff" around my ears doesn't help. And I'm adding a wireless mic inside now too! Hoping some folks have suggestions.
