Ammonites Posted March 6, 2015 Share Posted March 6, 2015 Just ordered a KS bucket and wanted to know what kind of padding would work best. Found some on eBay, but seems a bit excessive and would probably interfere with my headset. Any suggestions? I know I've seen some other types on occasion.

Dart Posted March 6, 2015 Share Posted March 6, 2015 Some folks like the Skydex pads (or similar tac helmet padding). Best thing to do is wait until you get your helmet before you buy anything. If you've got a large head, you won't need much padding. Did you order the helmet as a kit or pre-assembled? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Ammonites Posted March 6, 2015 Author Share Posted March 6, 2015 It will be preassembled. Tried a kit before and totally botched it... I can sew just fine but I can't ever seem to get a kit put together. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
BikerScout007 Posted March 6, 2015 Share Posted March 6, 2015 I got mine preassembled too. I took out the big foam strip that KS puts at the top of the bucket and replaced it with the foam disk in this pack. Works way better: http://www.amazon.com/gp/product/B00A4TNQ8A/ref=oh_aui_detailpage_o00_s00?ie=UTF8&psc=1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Ammonites Posted March 6, 2015 Author Share Posted March 6, 2015 I was thinking of either those or the army ones, but as stated above I should wait for it to arrive first. 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
BikerScout007 Posted March 6, 2015 Share Posted March 6, 2015 Yes definitely. One of the reasons why I wanted to change out KS's foam was that it was making the helmet sit too far above my shoulders. I have a long enough neck as it is. You'll want to try it on and see how it looks when you are suited up Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Chrisx909x Posted March 30, 2015 Share Posted March 30, 2015 dont know if you already bought foam, but i used a hardhat liner, M3 hardhat,(simple adjusting, not the one with the knob on the back) $6 at home depot, bolted straight in Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Goubatsu Posted March 30, 2015 Share Posted March 30, 2015 Basically you'll want to take most of the foam in the KS helmet. It's not the best and not very comfortable. I do suggest a chin strap however in conjunction with helmet padding. 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Jokr Posted April 2, 2015 Share Posted April 2, 2015 The original helmet: Hard hat liner Chin strap So, that is one legit option Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Heights Posted April 21, 2015 Share Posted April 21, 2015 Just ordered a KS bucket and wanted to know what kind of padding would work best. Found some on eBay, but seems a bit excessive and would probably interfere with my headset. Any suggestions? I know I've seen some other types on occasion. 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. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
