These Brush Bristles Hurt

Post by dmwill »

I just bought a helmet from someone and was wondering if there is an alternative to the brush bristels in this helmet? Are they needed? I am new to all this stuff so any advice would be good. I don't think I can use it with the bristles cause it is uncomfortable as hell.

It is fine now and lifting the helmet off your head will remedy this.

I went through the same thing. Takes some time to get the right fit and to get used to the bristles digging in your head.

It does take time to get used to, but you eventually do. In fact, I now use mine (415 diode OMG Laser Messiah 2) without the headband, so the bristles are resting directly on my scalp...

Seems to initially cause some fallout/ irritation as well.
