Is there eny one that makes helmets like Wes did,whit the same quality in mind?

Nope. That's why he was Wes, and he had a production helmet named after him, and we're still talking about him after he's gone. RIP

I know my fiance made one of his helmet. He bought directions from Wes a few years back and did it from that. I don't know what has happened since Wes's death, if any of his children still have those directions for sale, but you might want to try and get in touch with Matt and see if he knows the latest because I think he had talked to Wes's son about it a few months ago to see if he was still going to keep that going. Maybe he has his info still and you can try to get in touch with him to get directions if you're interested in making one. It is a lot of work, but if you follow the directions you can definitely get the same quality out of the design.

You can check out the video from Matt doing his composite and everything on his website:

Apologies for the spelling (and grammar).... I got a B.S, not a B.A. :)

I would also like to get the CD with directions for building one... if anyone has info on where to get one please PM me!

His helmets were a perfectly balanced custom camera platform that was designed from a mold of your head. It is as perfect of a fit as one can ask for. Pricey, sure. Worth it if you had the dough....from what I saw of them, hell yes.

All of his helmets were custom fit and hand made. You could not just order one from a dealer or website, you would have to go see him and he would wrap your head in plaster to make a mold of your head.

The liners were a single layer of neoprene, because that's all you could fit between your head and the shell itself.

He made each one by hand, and had years of experience with the process, and produced a helmet with a very high level of fit and finish. Literally the best helmet money could buy.
