Chin cups!

[Ketchup]

Been looking for some examples of how people installed their chin cups, but not coming up with much. I'd love to see how you guys have done it, so I can follow by example!

Here's a pic of mine. Elastic through the chin cup then through the top holes on the helmet to the bottom holes then back inside the helmet to the velcro. Hope that makes sense.

hard to make pictures of all the black pieces x_x

It's not screen accurate, but i may aswell show it:

I found a bag of small parachute clips at a local store, they fit nicely.

- Made cuts in the sides of the helmet for the straps to go through, just like Stroker did (except mine are not in the correct place, Stroker's slits are more screen accurate)

- Then i took the chincup and cut out the two slots for the straps with a dremel.

- Inside the helmet i put small patches of hook velcro (the adhesive kind),
  and i sewed loop velcro on the strap so it can be attached, moved and removed from inside the helmet.

- The parachute buckle parts are sewn to the other side of the strap.

I tried it without chincup, but that caused problems as my balaclava started moving around and sometimes my chin became visible, not cool!.

Chincups are good.

Not sure if a parachute clip is a good way to go though. I cant unlock it with my gloves on. Maybe i'll go the same route as stroker next time.


Good luck on yours!

Oooo, I might have to cut slots in my lid to do that. Currently, I have velcro on that edge to help keep my lid shut, but I can probably come up with a different solution.

Gotta drill holes in it to get the hard hat liner installed, might as well cut into it, too! Haha
