padding

[Damien]

what do you guys suggest for padding of the helmet and armor?

I use pipe insulation and that yellow foam you get in the sewing section of walmart.

In some fabric shops you can find black foam. It's kinda like that yellow upolstery foam, but a little tougher, and well... black!

I also use rolls of thin foam to line the interior of my arm and leg parts. It makes the armor more comfortable and helps keep it from traveling while you're wearing it.

you could always cut up an old shirt fluff it it with like cotton balls. sew it together and glue it in. just an inexpensive idea.

you can buy motorcycle helmet padding thats all put together but i dont know if it will fit, you could always buy some sponges though hehehe. I think sponges would work fine.
