Well it is Fiberglass so there are plus and minuses of that. Easily repaired and sturdy but rather heavy. I opted for the slightly larger v2, but if I had it to do again I would get the standard size Fiberglass one from them. Good support and communication with them and the helmet is well detailed. Would not troop longer than 4 hours at a time with it. Neck may get sore.

I guess I stand alone with the NI58 Bucket. It's larger and fiberglass. Waiting on Dicky Beer Bucket now

Opinions on the NewImage58 v2 bucket
Heights replied to DougTheHusky's topic in ROTJ Biker Scout Armor/Helmet
Great helmet if your a big or tall guy, if regular helmet sizes make you look silly, then the V2 is your helmet. I have trooped with it for a year now. I like it and it receives good reviews from all the scouts that have seen it in person at troops. I would buy the V1 fiberglass if your just looking for a nice FG Bucket that's regular sized. I can take pics if anyone needs them. these are heavier helmets, but being FB they are sturdy and easily repaired. -
Any downsides to a fiberglass helmet?
Heights replied to Heights's topic in ROTJ Biker Scout Armor/Helmet
Thanks for the insight. I figure also that FG can be etched, redone, repainted and all in case it needs more accuracy. I appreciate all the feedback. -

Heights replied to Heights's topic in ROTJ Biker Scout Armor/Helmet
I can see how that plays into it. It's an opportunity to get a nice helmet for 3 bills painted. Didn't want to pass it up. On the flip side would FG be easier to repair then plastic? Wonder how much more it will weigh. -
I was worried that the one on eBay would be too much with regard to trapping heat and sweat. Like a musty motorcycle helmet. I'm going to use batting and Velcro to make some cheek pads and head cover.

Wondering if a fiberglass helmet has any cons vs an abs plastic one, obviously the fiberglass would be a bit heavier and hotter. Any advice is appreciated.
