Breathing

Post by Ralom »

I’m working on my build right now and have two helmets from two different vendors. Both are very nice, but due to the shape of the helmet, I can see where it could be hard to wear for extended periods of time or easy to hyperventilate in. What are people doing to make the experience more tolerable? :tr:

I bought two of these and attached hoses to them that go up to the helmet.

Purchased two mini hand held coolers and began fabricating them to fit on a back brace.

I take my helmet off after a while, just remember to breathe slowly and you’ll be fine.

I don't but I sure can when I get home !

I will say, that I was not a fan of the hoses in the pics, I changed them to a clear firmer hose.
