How Do You Store and Transport?

Post by Ralom »

Given the unusual size and shape of the guard helmet, what is everyone using to safely transport it and the rest of their costume in?

I used one of those smaller Husky totes for the soft goods and then a custom helmet bag for the helmet. My force pike breaks down into 2 pieces.

I am using a 90 liters Stanley box.
At the bottom of the box is foam and the folded inner robe. The helmet is in a selfmade bag. My boots are upside down put in, so the helmet can't move.
The force pike is demountable to 3 pieces and is laying on the bottom.
My outer robe is in a carrier bag for dresses. For trooping I fold it two times and secure it with straps on top of the Stanley box.

Thanks for all the ideas! I did commission custom soft cases for the helmet and pike from Wally’s Custom Creations. Then I think I’ll look into into of the hard cases you all mentioned. I like the idea of keeping the outer robe in a garment bag.

I use the large husky bin. I holds everything I need, plus I can put multiple costumes in it as well.
