Small helmet?

Post by octopuscuddles »

Hello there! I am on the smaller side of life, 5 foot tall and I am looking into making or buying a helmet. I am concerned that if I buy a pre-made helmet it will be too tall and even with padding and modifications, I won't be able to see out of the limited space for vision.
Does anyone here have a 9-12 year old around 5 feet tall in their life who has put on the helmet and been able to see out of it? or shall I just scale down a papakura file and begin to build it from scratch?

Thanks! :tr2:

It all depends.
The helmet sits on your shoulders.
Does the space from your shoulders to your eyes differ from taller people?
I would suggest test fitting a helmet.
Do you know anyone in possession of a royal guard helmet?
If not, I will be more than happy to measure the space from my shoulders to my eyes for you.

Thank you so much! that would be amazing.

I don't have access to a helmet to try on, I am still new to the community. I am hoping to change that.

I measured and the distance from my shoulders to my eyes is about 6 inches or 152.4mm.
