What's inside your Altmann Helmet?

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.

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.

I added a simple hard hat liner to mine. Easy enough...

 

Visuals? :D

 

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

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!

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.

Just purchased some military grade CP style padding for my Altmann. I figured that'd be enough cushioning.

Hey can I ask where you bought your padding? I'm looking for some military grade padding for my future Altmann as well!

Bought it on eBay, no problem!
