Helmet Padding

[TheDon]

I'm using the MICH (military kevlar helmet pads) pads in my ST bucket but they need to be maybe 1/4" or slightly more thick.

 

I found these on the google and the amazon

I hope these help me with my issue of the helmet lens resting on my nose as well as tigheten up the fit.

 

For my lens I bought the Hobart grinder shield face mask from amazon

I really like this lens, its almost like a pair of sunglasses when you wear the bucket. Didn't attempt to heat bend it to fit but I have a scrap I can test.

 

 

anyone else using the hobart lens?

You might be able to get some seat foam to add to the helmet padding. Some of the space fitters have an opening to add or remove foam.

 

I will have to check out that grinder shield. I have been looking for a something I can use for different helmets. How flexible is it?

I used those same pads in my KS Scout bucket and they worked well

For my TIE bucket I swapped to CAT knee pads and the helmet feels super comfortable. I highly recommend them. They are super easy to cut up along the lines and I used velcro to secure the padding in place.

 

I ordered an Anovos helmet so I probably won't need these for my Shoretrooper but if I end up selling that and build my own I am definitely going to do this again.
