Scarcasm Posted September 22, 2011 Share 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 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
flashcove Posted September 22, 2011 Share 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. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Scarcasm Posted September 22, 2011 Author Share Posted September 22, 2011 Thank Ken appreciate it. That could well be the route forward then. I'll give them a shout. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
lonewolf Posted September 22, 2011 Share 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 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Scarcasm Posted September 22, 2011 Author Share Posted September 22, 2011 Hi John thanks for the head's up, do you have a MLC then? I thought they were Fibreglass? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
TB-8719 Posted September 22, 2011 Share 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. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Chex Posted September 22, 2011 Share 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. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Scarcasm Posted September 22, 2011 Author Share 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). Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Scarcasm Posted October 5, 2011 Author Share 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? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Scarcasm Posted October 7, 2011 Author Share 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? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
