Ok, ya know the plastic trim around the edge of our helmets?

Recommended Posts

Like all the boneheads, open faces etc? That black plastic trim. What the heck is that stuff called and where can I buy more?

Ace Hardware was convinced it wasn't a real product and that I was tripping on acid. Home Depot directed me to clear plumbing housing.

I thought I might be able to use auto trim stuff but can't.

Does anyone know what it's called, where I can get some? Craft store? Wally world, online? Pretty pretty pretty

you're sure it's not something like this?

on my Aviator it looks to be that. I think you can even get a kind that has a small bead of adheasive right in the center at autozone so you just press it down and it sticks pretty well.

maybe I'm missing something about what you're trying to do?

That looks exactly like it. I went to autozone and they didn't have any, said they hadn't had any for a long time. Sweet now I know where to get some. Thanks

That's why buying a quality helmet like an oxygyn is worth the money! You may have to wait and customer service may suck but they are the best made!:P



You're joking right?!?!?! The lenses brake off in freefall and cut peoples faces. There is not a single Oxygyn at my DZ that has a face shield on it.

The reason I'm looking for all this stuff is cause I just rebuilt a helmet and am adding some stuff to it. So things like the ratchet straps and the trim I needed help finding. Hopefully I'll have the helmet put back together again tomorrow

The funny part of this is that he knows that. His gf had that happen to her more than once.:D:D

Never look down on someone, unless they are going down on you.

Hmmm - and caused by many many freefall collisions no doubt. Maybe we should donate to some coaches couses for y'all then.:o:P:P


I'm not usually into the whole 3-way thing, but you got me a little excited with that. - Skymama

Ironically the most of them happend on solo dives... One guy got his face cut up pretty bad too. About a half inch under his eye. A piece kept flapping and hitting him in the face. They're light helmets, but they suck imo
