Para Helmet

Lerch · September 7th, 2005, 19:23

I'm getting a Mk6 Kevlar Helmet this month with a DPM Cover. The elastic straps are in tatty condition so I thought I'd take them off and make the helmet up to look like a Para Helmet.
The only problem I've come across so far is doing the tape at the rim of the helmet, namely because I have no idea how it's done or what is used.

From this picture it looks like something made of rubber, but I just wanted to make sure before I go and spent some money.

BTW, you should get a cam/scrim net for your helmet.

Does it not make sense to just get another one instead of doing the alteration?

Hey, were you the one bidding on http://cgi.ebay.ca/ws/eBayISAPI.dll?...DME:L:RTQ:CA:1 ?

Was I bidding on it? No, I got myself a helmet in outsize (that's the biggest one made). Very nice, I hope to pick it up in the next couple days.
And I plan to buy a scrim net from surplus and just cut it down to the size I need. Otherwise I'll hunt for another cover (it's really hard finding covers in outsize).
