  9. Best pads for a bucket?

    in Boots, Soft Parts, and other Accessories

    Posted

     

    I've purchased numerous pads on Amazon and Ebay and nothing seemed to fit. I also wanted a interchangeable, adjustable and washable solution. So after long deliberation and returns I went with the x-liner.  It's not cheap, but worth every penny. my 2 cents...

     

    Originally I purchased a medium 3/4 but ultimately went with the XL 3/4

    X Liner is Gentex’s most advanced high-tech helmet fitting system. It is comfortable, cool, clean, and easy to install. 

    Inside the revolutionary X Liner are two layers of visco-elastic comfort foam that instantly and continuously adjust to your head. The soft inner layer adjusts quickly as you fly it fits perfectly, eliminates hot spots, and stabilizes your helmet. The firmer outer layer adjusts more slowly and its firmness helps keep your helmet from bottoming out.

     

    You can enjoy the self-adjusting comfort of X-Liner even in hot or cold weather because the visco elastic foam used in the X-Liner is not sensitive to temperature. Other visco elastic foams become too hard in cold weather and are too soft in hot weather.

     

    X Liner’s unique design promotes air circulation and increases evaporation so you stay cool. Your helmet will also be more stable as X Liner’s shape eliminates roll and creep.

     

    Antimicrobial X-static© fabric keeps X Liner clean and odor free. X-Static fabric is made with a layer of 99.9% pure silver bonded to the surface of the fiber to kill odor-causing bacteria, eliminate static, and conduct heat away from you.

     

    Installing your X-liner is simple. Adjust its shape with four strips of Velcro© and place it in your helmet where five pieces of Velcro© keep it in place.

     

     

    Oh this is awesome!  And it doesn't sit too high?  You can still see ok?  Is it a snug fit around your head?

    I do believe its ok and passable as it is, have heard from several sources it would be ok (Belt hides it anyways), have seen some people fill it in. With your dimensions you shouldn't have any issues at all for fitting. 

     

    Very cool.  Thanks again Chris for the help and pics!  Dang that armor is just beautiful, look how it gleans and shines!  Sorry I'm having a moment  :dance:

    I will, hopefully be working on that notch this weekend - the plan is to slice the seam on the notch and push the un-used portion back in with a back plate on the inside of the armor - if that makes sense. This way there is only a small seam that can be concealed with abs paste - which can be sanded and buffed up.

     

    Ah I'd like to see that..sounds awesome.  But then of course you either lose the return edges or have to re-make em.
