Helmet Parts & Accessories
T-Visors
T-visors can be purchased pre-shaped, or made yourself. There are many great vendors for them or you can make them yourself.
In canon mandos we typically see plain black smoked acrylic, and only one or two colored ones. We don't see visors from other properties such as hex/honeycomb pattern, etc.
A good vendor for buying them pre-made is T-Visor.com. They make smoked black acrylic visors.
Feb 2023 NOTE: They are closing down business soon
A vendor for both smoked acrylic and mirrored visors is Kalevala Visors. They have a variety of colors.
Their website is here.
UPDATE: it has come to our attention that this vendor currently is very behind on orders with minimal communication and thee have been many reports of poor quality. Due to this, we no longer recommend this vendor and urge caution before proceeding with this vendor.
Making them yourself:
Welding Masks:
Many people buy a welding shield mask and cut it out themselves to fit their helmet.
Helmet Padding
Military helmet padding
A great modular option is general army helmet padding. These have sticky backed Velcro pads to put on the inside of your helmet, and the pads Velcro onto them.
These on Amazon are a great option if you prefer the military modular padding. They are about $20.
Helmet padding kit
Another fairly modular design but with a few more touch points on your head. This padding type can work well.
These on Amazon are about $25.
Construction Helmet Liner
These have a nice suspension system so you have less touching your head and it will move nicely with your head.
These are Amazon are under $10
Full helmet lining
You can also opt for a full helmet pad lining, some vendors are below. As a downside, full liners can also act as an insulator so they can make it very hot inside your helmet.
Other padding:
You can use any type of foam in your helmet you have laying around. We do recommend you secure it inside your helmet (glue, Velcro, etc). Foam is better than hard material as it can squish down and is softer on your head.
