Sent from my MSE-6 droid using Tapatalk A hard hat liner provides some air flow around your head, some like the snug feeling you can achieve with padding...if I wasn’t such a nerd for building screen accurate (atleast OT armor) I would go with a helmet rig...I use the star foam with chin strap and happy with that, and have no need for fans as I have small gaps (non visible) around the lens that keeps them fog-free 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
giskard8[Staff] Posted September 8, 2018 Report Share Posted September 8, 2018 Our Garrison mates prefer hard hat liner, mainly due to the sub tropical climate here. Let the air flow and a Build-in fan system is a must otherwise heat-stroke is guaranteed. 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Yeah that`s a good point - one should always adapt to the surroundings 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Harbinger[IPM] Posted September 8, 2018 Report Share Posted September 8, 2018 (edited) Fans are great, if yoy have a beard wear a balaclava or keep it short or they will rip your hair out. Edited September 8, 2018 by Harbinger 2 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I was thinking on using it for my bucket as well. It replaces the top head pad. Dip it in cool water, let the silica absorb it, and you have a cool dome for a long while. My only concern would be adding potentially more humidity inside an already hot bucket. Tac helmets are open-faced, so never had to worry about that before. https://www.amazon.com/dp/B005FHN0SM/ref=cm_sw_r_cp_apa_-GfLBbKTRS72M Sent from my MSE-6 droid using Tapatalk Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
giskard8[Staff] Posted September 9, 2018 Report Share Posted September 9, 2018 Indeed, also A fan inside the helmet if positioned correctly will help disperse humid air (sweating / breathing) and prevent the visor lens from frogging. Visibility is poor inside the bucket (you have to look three steps ahead, anything closer is in the blind zone), keeping the lens clear is essential. 2 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

CableGuy[Admin] Posted September 9, 2018 Report Share Posted September 9, 2018 Tactical pads work well for me. I only need 4 in my lid so planets of room for airflow, fans and mic. 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
