Love the beat up(ish) look of the bottom left one

Love the beat up(ish) look of the bottom left one

It’s one of the heavy fibreglass ‘type’ ones , was olive green stuck a thick coat of sand krylon and brown net stencil on it , and then kicked it around for ages ! 

And funnily enough it’s my favourite and the comfiest of them all bar the dragon red  one .?

Here you all are with expensive setups and mine coste less that £100

My most expensive one cost around £75 I think , most were well under 50 !

Has anyone tried the cheapo £18 fast helmets on eBay? 

https://rover.ebay.com/rover/0/0/0?mpre=https%3A%2F%2Fwww.ebay.co.uk%2Fulk%2Fitm%2F253727343179

been thinking of getting a helmet for a while but not sure if I’ll get on with one because I sweat quite a lot.

so my thinking is try one of these for a few games and if I find it comfortable then invest in something a bit better but at the same time don’t want to waste money on something totally trash even if it is only £18 

My head is 59cm so should fit as it’s advertised up to 60cm

By the looks of it it’s a plastic shell (like most of the rest) that’s got a styrofoam liner in it , so should be ok but even if it isn’t usable as is all you need do is rip the inner out of it and re-pad it with somthing different ? I’ve got an old pro-tec that the liner was bust up so I pulled all the guts of it out then re-padded it with kip mat and then some some memory foam helmet pads , worked a treat .?

How have you found the iron knight lid? Thinking of getting one for a sci fi/juggernaut loadout and replacing the lense with painted sheet mesh

Don't blame you. I saw the videos of the shot tests and I wouldn't trust that crap with my eyes. I was going to wear my bolle tracker IIs underneath anyway so the more ventilation the better

Yea , the clear lense had the impact resistance of stale cream cracker ! 

The mesh did work ok but I don’t trust mesh on its own .
