Guest BikerMole Posted August 18, 2010 Share Posted August 18, 2010 Okay, I'm not sure if this was ever covered before, but is there an "accepted" way to secure a TB bucket? Or do all just leave the security of headgear to gravity? I have been thinking of fitting mine with a floorball goalie mask/helmet retention straps, but I wonder if that'd be a bit overboard? Have others used or adapted other retention systems to their helmets? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Witness Posted August 18, 2010 Share Posted August 18, 2010 Here is what the screen used helmets did. MLC helmets come with a chin cup, others do not. I use a hard hat liner and foam on the sides to snuggly fit mine. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Guest carves Posted August 18, 2010 Share Posted August 18, 2010 Having an MLC helmet gave a head start since it comes with the cin cup. One problem away. The straps I believe can be anything that belongs from any helmet. Maybe a visit to any helmet shop will get you that particular strap.

Guest BikerMole Posted August 18, 2010 Share Posted August 18, 2010 Thanks. I have an Altmann bucket that has foam pads, but it's a bit loose to my liking and some of the pads are coming off with the glue having became gummy. So if I was to fit it with a chin strap, if it had a chin cup similar to the one pictured, it'd be okay? I'm not saying I'm going to performacrobatics in costume, but I'm a bit of leery t dashing around with as expensive a bucket as Altmann's on my nogging with onlöy friction-fit to keep it from either moving or separating from my head. Guess I've seen too much of event chaos in various conventions... Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Arch27 Posted August 18, 2010 Share Posted August 18, 2010 I put a hard hat suspension ring (aka "liner") in my KS. I secured it with industrial velcro. Due to the nature of the adjustable suspension ring, the helmet is not loose at all. The MLC I'm working on I plan on getting something like this SkyDex pad set, though this site has something similar for about 1/3 the price. I also planned on using the chin cup with the MLC, securing it with elastic. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
BlackDOG Posted August 27, 2010 Share Posted August 27, 2010 I have a MLC that came with a chin cup. When I put my army helmet pads inside, they were tight enough that I did not need the chin cup. I would recommend trying the hard hat liner first......the chin cup might be less comfortable for longer troops.... Just my opinion. J.

Ill keep the piece just incase it comes up and I need to look super cool or something other than that... Im going strapless! Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Shyrax Posted March 3, 2011 Share Posted March 3, 2011 The MLC I'm working on I plan on getting something like this SkyDex pad set I used these pads in my TK bucket. They worked great. Plan on using them in my KS helmet when it comes in. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Wickedfluxx Posted March 3, 2011 Share Posted March 3, 2011 I'm with J and actually followed his example. I went with the Wendy ZAP pads for my MLCv3 and they have been great, don't even need the chin strap that came with the bucket. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
4505Marcel Posted March 3, 2011 Share Posted March 3, 2011 I removed my chin cup, basically it seemed to catch the inner cheek sides when I talk which was annoying. They do look better though with cup on. But then again i do have 40mm fans in each cheek so that may have been whats catching <_> Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
