Helmet questions.

[Shutterfrank]

Hello everyone,

I just have a couple of questions on helmets, since I'm trying to buy my first one. I'm deciding between KS and SC. But I'm not sure what size my head is? since there is no size options to choose from. Also if I purchase an un assembled helmet would it be difficult to assemble? For a first timer like me? Any feedback would be great! Thank you all.

Get a cloth measuring tape (you'll need one if you DIY your soft armor). Wrap it around your head about where a hat would sit. That's your head size in circumference. Check out the helmet sizing threads, each of your possible helmets has recommendations based on size.

 

As for putting them together? I've put together a TK bucket, but when it came to my TB lid, I went with a preassembled one. I've heard the KS can be a pain to fit together. If you have any doubts, don't waste your time and money on a kit.

Ditto with regards to the KS helmet being a pain to assemble. I've been a scale model builder for over 40 years. However I met my match when it came to the KS helmet. I purchased a CucBlack helmet kit off of eBay, but he used a different name on the auction site. He has a notorious rep on this forum for not following through on deliveries, but I must say on eBay he was super fast. Even though he's a bad seller here, most agree that his products are top-notch - and they are. I really enjoyed putting that helmet together. It's cast exactly like ILM cast their movie helmets... in halves. Fit was great. Price was good too. My noggin can fit inside; I used a helmet liner and still have room for a cooling fan.
