Armor Helmet
Armor Helmet
What kind or foam Sheeting would be best suited for padding a helmet and other armor peices?
Im making a custom helmet, and just needed to know what kind of foam, like polystyrene or polyethelyne or whatever is generally used to pad helmets. What would be the softest and coolest.
When I’ve done costume work, I pad first with Expanded Polystyrene Foam (the white compressed beads)… it’s light, relatively STRONG, and easy to carve to the internal shape. You can also bore holes to reduce weight and increase ventilation. It’s also what they use for impact absorption in bike, flight, motorcycle helmets.
I then add thin layers of closed cell soft polyurethane foam (like Memory Foam)… I get the sheets from a bicycle shop… intended for custom padding bike-helmets.
For helmets, I always use either chamois or synthetic chamois as a liner. I picked that up when I was a Navy Helicopter crewman… we had caps of chamois we wore under our helmets for the last layer of padding AND for the fact that they absorb the sweat.
