Chunkaholic Posted January 2, 2011 Report Share Posted January 2, 2011 Just got an Efx esb helmet for Christmas and the padding inside is like cheap Styrofoam and i was wondering what would be best for padding it with, thanks. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Evolver79[TK] Posted January 2, 2011 Report Share Posted January 2, 2011 yeah i was thinking about that but i wasnt sure, i have a realy nice one thats just gathering dust so i might just use that, thanks. I took apart my Arai helmet last night for my Republic Commando. Unfortunately, there isn't any usable padding. Just thought I would give the heads up if that's what you have. I only used mine because I wrecked in it. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

RogueTrooper[TK] Posted January 3, 2011 Report Share Posted January 3, 2011 (edited) Another EZ way is to get a skateboarders/BMX helmet or canoe helmet and use the liner/pads. You can also find just the replacement liner/pads sold separately... Look at your local Sporting Goods / Outdoor Camping store and Bike Shops. ---------- Edited February 10, 2022 by gmrhodes13 link not working removed Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I do have some of those miltary pads, pulled them out of my dads helmet he brought back when he got home from Iraq, those things (to me) feel very uncomfortable, they feel like cloth covered bricks.

Then if those are not uncomfortable for you, then try the bike/skateboards/canoe helmet pad/ liner.... Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Peter D Posted October 12, 2020 Report Share Posted October 12, 2020 To: Mason 501st ID:4603 I an looking for the hockey helmet liner you used in your stormtrooper helmet. It has the letters "SR" on the central pad. What specific brand of hockey helmet is this from? Thanks. Peter D. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Hi Peter I doubt you will get a reply as Mason hasn't been on the forums since Feb 2019. This is a thread from 2011 so some items may no longer be available, here are some newer threads on padding Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
