I Don't Like My Helmet

#1

Post by QUEEENlE »

Hi...everytime I come into the forums I see Timbers avatar ( helmet ) ... I really like it. I hate mine. It makes my head sweat, it feels uncomfortable and its squishes my face. I think I would be more comfortable with something similar to what I see on Timber's posts. Suggestions for what I should search for ...name of that type of helmet links for sites that have accessories that you have had success with??

Thanks

Hugs

It's a police helmet from NPD, check it out. I believe Timber will give you a
response when he is back from his holidays.

How about this one:

It's my 1989 army helmet, I wore it during my training back then.
It has been used in 1989 for a few weeks, hasn't been used until I bought Annie.

Has a vintage look to it, don't you think ??

Kewl Look Annie's Boyfriend... I like. Yet, I think with that style I will have the same issue I have with mine. Squishing my face, especially my ears. Then I won't be able to hear properly, which then becomes a distraction. I believe that the style/type of helmet that would suit me the best is called a " half helmet "?? Is that the proper name??
Thanks for the suggestions and posting the pictures. When I am out looking for my new one I will definately try that style also.

I saw one that was as shiny as CHROME. Probably not a good idea, huh. Can you imagine the fingerprints??
