Scout helmet Cast resin or plastic?

[Stickleggs]

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?

Always Vacu-formed, never Resin! Lets make things easy.

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!

Not my post but curious, is the resin much heavier?

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.

That doesn't sound like a big deal to me. Just adds a bit of realism.
