Stickleggs Posted July 28, 2017 Share Posted July 28, 2017 Trying to find the consensus on if a resin helmet is good or should I do a plastic vacu-formed helmet? Thoughts? Sorry if this is in the wrong area? 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Sorry if this is in the wrong area? There are so many great ABS options I don't know why you would want anything else. Take it easy on your head and neck! 3 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
lynx Posted August 10, 2017 Share Posted August 10, 2017 Not my post but curious, is the resin much heavier? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Chef Posted August 11, 2017 Share Posted August 11, 2017 The weight all depends on how the laminate has been laid up. If it is thin, then the helmet can potentially be very lightweight. But thin equals frangible when it comes to resin. So thicker lay-ups are better and that means more weight. My lid is still my original GRP one and it is a bit of a bruiser. But it's not uncomfortably heavy. If you've ever worn a motorcycle helmet or an Army one, then it's not much different to that. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Headcount Posted August 20, 2017 Share Posted August 20, 2017 That doesn't sound like a big deal to me. Just adds a bit of realism. Sent from my iPhone using Tapatalk Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
