hokie1 Posted December 31, 2015 Posted December 31, 2015 I bought the helmet liner that was listed in the trade forum and it is not going to fit? What setups are people using for their Altmann helmets? I would like to go Lancer. Thanks, Hilary
NinjaScout Posted December 31, 2015 Posted December 31, 2015 Nothing inside the helmet will prevent you from getting lancer. People do all sorts of things but I used Military helmet pads I picked up off of Amazon. I looked at baseball helmet liners, upholstery foam, etc. 1

NinjaScout Posted January 1, 2016 Posted January 1, 2016 The pads I picked up go in with Velcro so they can be moved around for fit and removed and cleaned (or replaced if they get too nasty) I think I did the same as you. I have a headband kit lying around I can't use. 1
Stroker Posted January 1, 2016 Posted January 1, 2016 I just use plain yelllow foam from walmart in all my buckets. 2
Griffin-X Posted January 1, 2016 Posted January 1, 2016 I added a simple hard hat liner to mine. Easy enough... 1
Oblivian Posted January 7, 2016 Posted January 7, 2016 I added a simple hard hat liner to mine. Easy enough... Visuals? I just grabbed some packing foam for a start from work, but issues tacking it down with fear of paint removal. But have access to those cheapo safety helmets if they drop in easy enough Is the idea to keep the hinge bolts fairly lose? I note they have a tiny amount of play but start to strain if you lift the visor too high. I can *just* slip it on with the front velcro'd closed. But would be easier with a bit of room
indylead Posted January 27, 2016 Posted January 27, 2016 Hard hat liner here, too, for my Altmann. Funny, I literally just added the photo to my build thread, but I know Oblivian has already found it! I've just done the nuts up finger tight so as not to over load anything. This isn't enough that the front will stay open - I've no need to try that, and would be reluctant to I think!
theisaac Posted February 7, 2016 Posted February 7, 2016 I hot glued foam from joanns in mine. You can make the liner from Kevin work if you trip the top strap so the holes line up on the sides though. I personally didn't like how it felt so I went back to foam. Grats on the Altmann. It's a dream helmet.
Forest Ranger Posted February 15, 2016 Posted February 15, 2016 Just purchased some military grade CP style padding for my Altmann. I figured that'd be enough cushioning. 1

Hey can I ask where you bought your padding? I'm looking for some military grade padding for my future Altmann as well! Sent from my Nexus 6P using Tapatalk
