drache Posted June 10, 2016 Posted June 10, 2016 Hi guys, any recommendations for helmet liner? Quote
Griffin-X Posted June 10, 2016 Posted June 10, 2016 Check out the hard hat liner from Trooperbay: https://trooperbay.com/costuming-accessories/hard-hat-liner-for-helmets Quote
Nexous Posted June 10, 2016 Posted June 10, 2016 I used the condor pads that SC's kit came with, keeps the head and place and allows for my glasses Quote
kayelbe Posted June 10, 2016 Posted June 10, 2016 I tried using the helmet pads first, didn't like the way they fit by my ears (couldn't hear anything!). I went the same route as others and used a hard hat liner. I hot glued the mounting tabs, but am rethinking the attachment method as I have already had to reglue them three times. Quote

I used a HH liner as well and used CA glue to mount the tabs in my Altmann's. Haven't had any issues with it as of yet. Maybe give that a try? 1 Quote
shdwtrpr13 Posted June 10, 2016 Posted June 10, 2016 alittle late but I custom fit Foam padding into my helmet. Since I larp I tend to have more then enough open and closed cell foams laying around to do this successfully. of course there are others in my garrison who used Motorcycle helmet liners to great effect as well.

Chunk Posted June 11, 2016 Posted June 11, 2016 I used "egg crate" foam in mine. Piece on the back & top. Fits like a glove. Quote
jkno Posted June 11, 2016 Posted June 11, 2016 Is there anywhere a place to order accurate hard hat liners, similar to screen used? Quote
Griffin-X Posted June 11, 2016 Posted June 11, 2016 Is there anywhere a place to order accurate hard hat liners, similar to screen used? Kev (kw designs) has a thread in the trade forum for the real 3M hard hat liner and bolts. Check it out. Quote
Nexous Posted June 11, 2016 Posted June 11, 2016 Kevin Weir is a great guy, local to us SoCal guys. Does outstanding work, I'd trust him for that sort of stuff Quote
Bubonos Posted June 11, 2016 Posted June 11, 2016 The little black pads that came in my sc kit works for me. But I've seen everything from hardhat guts to couch cushion foam. Quote
