Fiber Glass helmet is to small :(

For modifying the Don Post helmet, adding the extras for a Crimson Empire helmet, as well as painting, padding, speakers, fans, etc.

I won't get into the linage of the helmets (from any seller) but I will say this, the helmets need to look like Royal Guard helmets and they need to fit. The smaller framed the person a smaller helmet will look perfect on them. The larger framed a person, the larger helmet will look right. The fact of the matter is that the helmet is uncomfortable, you can't breath well, you can't see great, and you can't communicate to save your life. Don't force a smaller helmet on your head then you need to.

Oh im not forcing it on. Its now laying around in hopes of a trade with a local RG with a to big of a helmet. Oddly i can breath just fine with out fogging the lens even though the lens touches my eyebrow.

And stripes i was looking into getting a mic system if people used them in the Tampa Squad. Would be nice to call for help lol.

The mike system has been great for communicating to handlers at events... no need to step backstage necessarily as it were...

I've tried a mike system, and I'm sure if I sat down and worked it into my helmet I could pull it off, but it's been a pain for me in the past. I should probably work on that though :)

I was thinking the throat mics would work the best. Would only really need it to talk to other members.

Great to hear! As for your lenses fogging up...they might not be fogging up now, but just wait until you've got a few layers of velvet on, then your story might change :) Hope not of course.
