Well, anyone who fights knows that foam padding does not breath well in a steel helmet. So I decided to make a new padding system for my helmet. It is linen fabric stuffed with bamboo fiber batting. It is a little over stuffed but fits my head and the helm well and snuggly. There is no movement of the helm at all. It use to have a little movement with the foam lining. The reason I over stuffed it was because I believe the batting will breakdown a little with use.
I hope it will breath better than the foam and I know it will absorb moisture, which is a good thing. Now I need to make a new helmet strap and try it out next week at Celt Wars.

How well did it work?
The padding has worked out great. Much cooler and I think I hear better with it than I did with the foam padding.
I changed my helmet and the padding fit fine in it also.
I will never go back to foam.
Can you share the pattern and method of adjusting for measurements?
