Holding 2 Pieces of MLC Together

[Wickedfluxx]

For those folks with a MLC v3 helmet, do you use the chin-strap to hold the 2 helmet pieces together or velcro? Just curious what people have done out there successfully so that the face piece doesn't move around from the bucket.

Wickedfluxx,

 

I have an MLC v3 scout helmet and don't use anything special to keep the facepiece from pulling away from the bucket when it's fully closed. It's pretty snug with the paint layers on the bucket and the inside edge of the facepiece. I do use black elastic for the chin strap, but it's recessed into the helmet, so it's not really providing any outward pressure to hold the facepiece closed. I guess if I had issues with keeping the facepiece fully closed, I would just use velcro. Hope this helps.

I noticed that it does close to the point that you mentioned, just wasn't sure if anyone used a method to make sure it stayed close. I may use some white velcro, on the inside where they meet, just to be sure.

I have earth magnets holding down my face plate, drilled into just below the chin strap slot. Works a treat with a satisfying snap shut

Nice, I like that better than velcro. Great idea! Do you have any pics of that design?

Speaking "theoritically" the 3M bold parts when installed properly should be able to "click" close the helmet shouldn it ?
