mesh screen

Recommended Posts

Hi all,

 

Im currently scratch-building a helmet and wondered what type/kind of mesh to use. My best guess is probably a polyethylene (plastic) mesh/screen and covered behind with something solid or a black cloth for breathability and air to pass thru for comfort.

Another option I found was a cabinet shelf liner from TrueValue which im enclosing a pic below.

 

Any comments and recommendations will be greatly appreciated, thank you!

Im afraid its not even close. The one used by Anovos is a honeycomb/hexagonal pattern like the enclosed pic below. However, Im interested to know what type of material it is - fabric, plastic or metal as mesh do come in those 3 materials.

My daughter found this in a fabric place. Its called "tulle" and possibly a good candidate if nothing else. Its 4mm per cell. Probably add either a solid backing or maybe speaker cloth for breathability and easier communication while wearing the helmet.

I was pretty sure this is just a look thing and has no functionality. Behind the mesh is a solid backing so there is no airflow. The airflow comes through vents in under the nose area and out the side of the white nose cap.

I concur as I've seen an inside pic of one of the helmets. I made my own helmet and had the "W" mouth profile cut out and since we are in a tropical country, I just thought it would be beneficial to have more air to come in. Probably easier to communicate as well.
