Scarcasm Posted September 22, 2011 Posted September 22, 2011 Hi all I'm a lid short of a full costume as unfortunately the one I bought it too small. It's a Fibreglass one & I'm hoping for some advice on which lid's come up 'Big'. I'm a meathead with a size 60 (not certain what this equates to in American speak), If anyone else have any recommendation's I'd really appreciate them as i'm hoping to be ready for my first troop at the end of October. Many Thanks
flashcove Posted September 22, 2011 Posted September 22, 2011 My KS is considerably larger than my buddy's SC. I wear a US 7, Brit 6 7/8, Eu 56. I have to raise the visor and push my ears flat to put the SC on, while doing neither with my KS. Eu 60 = US 7 1/2, Brit 7 3/8.
Scarcasm Posted September 22, 2011 Author Posted September 22, 2011 Thank Ken appreciate it. That could well be the route forward then. I'll give them a shout.
lonewolf Posted September 22, 2011 Posted September 22, 2011 I am sure the KS and MLC V3 are bigger than your lid, the SC is a bit smaller than these but easily flexes to allow a head to get into it.My lid is a bit bigger than the KS. 1
Scarcasm Posted September 22, 2011 Author Posted September 22, 2011 Hi John thanks for the head's up, do you have a MLC then? I thought they were Fibreglass?
TB-8719 Posted September 22, 2011 Posted September 22, 2011 Hi John thanks for the head's up, do you have a MLC then? I thought they were Fibreglass? John is sporting his own helmet as far as i know. The MLC is indeed made of Fiberglass.
Chex Posted September 22, 2011 Posted September 22, 2011 Yep, John has his own, beautiful helmet. I have a KS, and I've tried on an MLC v3 and the KS is slightly bigger.
Scarcasm Posted September 22, 2011 Author Posted September 22, 2011 Ahh I see. Thanks guys. I have the same problem with Crash helmet's & had exactly the same problem in the Army, my head's clearly Orc Like.... The problem I have is that the gap on the actual lid itself where it clears the ears (bottom point's of the lid that sit about jaw level) has only 6" clearance & it dig's into my ears when putting it on. Yet is loose once on. I'm hoping then that the KS one (being plastic) has a bit of give in it & will enable me to avoid the Migraines getting it on. Ta fella's I've also just found John's very worthy Thread (PM sent btw John).
Scarcasm Posted October 5, 2011 Author Posted October 5, 2011 Folks Just to clarify - An Altmann's is (much?) smaller than a KS, correct? Is an Altmann's likely to fit a size 60 EU head?
Scarcasm Posted October 7, 2011 Author Posted October 7, 2011 Is anyone out there with an Altmann's able to let me know how it compares size wise with any other lid's they may have or previously owned please?
