Helmet Help

[BeastlyKirby]

Hey guys trying to set my helmet up so a few questions, cushion/foam vs modifying a hard hat insert, also how do you set up a hard hat insert to fit, pictures? Also elastic chin strap vs a nylon strap with a clip.

Hey, I'm on mobile right now and can't view the picture. However someone will be along to help you out. I'll have a look as soon as I'm on laptop.

I use the MICH helmet pads. They are removable and can be set up in any configuration to fit. You can get them pretty cheap on eBay.

I cut a piece of foam and hot glue to the top.

So with the foam doesn't it get quite a bit more hot and in breathable than with the hard hat insert? Also what are you guys using as a chin strap.

I went with a hard hat liner. Keeps me pretty cool. I'm not using a chin strap on my setup but they are available.

Retro how did you manage to mount it to the inside?

There should be four places where the suspension attaches to the helmet. You'll need to cut the hard hat around those slots. Once you cut them out slide them back on the suspension and that will give you four areas that attach to the inside of your helmet. You can use E6000 or a hot glue gun to attach them.

 

Trooperbay has liners you can buy with the helmet tabs but I think you can do it cheaper just getting a hard hat from Home Depot and cutting it yourself. Hope that makes sense:)

I did something similar to Retrofire but used Velcro to attach the remnants of the hard hat to the inside of my bucket - gave me flexibility to reposition if needed. There are photos on my (Shada's) build thread but I can't easily link to it now as I'm on my phone
