Hello /diy/

I need some help with my m88 style helmet replica. The problem I have is that the helmet is slowly moving or wiggling while I run. The inside is like the picture. Any ways of how I could make it fit better like additional straps maybe or diy padding?

Have you considered adjusting the straps?

Yeah I adjusted the chin strap and the straps inside and they fit quite well. But the problem is that it still moves while running even tho the straps are adjusted and fit me.

My helmet issued in 2010 had different internal support, gel pads everywhere. It still wiggled. There were aftermarket pads and straps available but I never tried them. The pads where held in place with Velcro circles and the straps by I think four bolts. Maybe you could update yours.

Foam blocks between strap and helmet.
(not the hard polystyrene foam) More like the insulation stuff. Cheap and replaceable because you can't wash it.

Welcome to PASGT. It sucks dicks, especially when you're getting shot at.

As long as the holes are drilled properly, you can use these instead

I can't tell from your image, so I'm just going to throw this out there... It might help if your helmet has 4 attachment points for straps. It's sorta what I noticed with old and modern helmets.

I can honestly say in confidence, the revision viper helmet system is by far the most secured, practical, and comfy helmet system i've ever used. Been in for 14 yrs and still going. Upgrade for ACH style helmet. Quite pricy though...
