I am currently approved with the Rubies bucket, but the weight makes it so I am very sore after trooping.

What are the best options out there for a lighter-weight helmet that still has the room of the Rubies? I am in the USA, so would prefer shipping didn't cost as much as the bucket.

Thanks!

You might have some luck with the helmet from Lukannon Armoury as they are just slightly smaller than the Rubies. Outside of that, not sure what else is out there that would be a lot lighter. It's the one drawback to the guard with the weight of not only the robes but also the bucket all sitting on your shoulders and neck.

Get a bucket from TK-Sonic here on the forums his are super light

I have to disagree with that. I have his bucket and I'm super happy with it, but it is NOT light. My Garrison mates are always surprised when they pick it up.

How much does the Rubies weigh?

What is the Rubies made of?

Never go for fibreglass its heavy. PVC is lightest. Most guards I know will vouch for Lukkanon Armory. BUT any PVC is about same weight.

My Korbanth is 2 pounds 9.8 ounces.

Walt's Trooper factory makes abs ones. Downside is you have a seam that you have to fill and paint. But that would be lighter than fiberglass. I have a Lukannon one, it's fiberglass and not exactly light but it's not too bad.
