Lawless Scout Posted March 14, 2018 Share Posted March 14, 2018 If one wanted to add in a little extra airflow would it be approvable to cut out the black areas and paint on the grey for the snout area? Perhaps then cover with black screening/ mesh on inside? Would that be 501st or no? Sent from my iPhone using Tapatalk Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Chopper Posted March 14, 2018 Share Posted March 14, 2018 Hi Jason, I really can't recommend going that route as it breaks from the features of the original helmet and therefore wouldn't be approvable. The ear holes provide pretty good ventilation compared to other helmets -- especially when you're walking around. Is it just hot or is your lens fogging?

Lawless Scout Posted March 15, 2018 Author Share Posted March 15, 2018 Is it just hot or is your lens fogging? Little of both. I’m used to motorcycle helmets (rider for 20 years) so fogging I can deal with (various ways to make that go away) but concerned with heat once I put everything on.

Chopper Posted March 15, 2018 Share Posted March 15, 2018 Once you open those ears up, I think you'll see that the helmet cools off quite a bit. If you end up wearing your dome for a while and you feel like the heat is really making things uncomfortable, there's various fan systems out there. Not a lot of scouts end up needing them, but they're quite popular with the TK's, so the option is there if you feel like you need it. 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Dart Posted March 15, 2018 Share Posted March 15, 2018 I'd finish putting it all together before you worry about airflow. I currently have 1 fan that blows up towards my lens. For me, it helps a lot when it gets humid. But generally, the ear holes make a big difference. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
