Rat[TK] Posted March 17, 2015 Report Posted March 17, 2015 Not sure where this question belongs but figured this would be a good starting point. I have rather long hair and was curious if that is a hindrance with the bucket? Would I be better of cutting it? Quote
justjoseph63[Staff] Posted March 17, 2015 Report Posted March 17, 2015 I read a post a while back on this, and one suggested a balaclava or hair net. Depending on how much hair you have, and how much padding you have in your bucket, there should be ample room. Quote
Rat[TK] Posted March 17, 2015 Author Report Posted March 17, 2015 Thanks Joe. Yeah right now it's about elbow length. I have time to work through it though as I am still looking and learning about the different types of armor and all that. Quote
Tray[TK] Posted March 17, 2015 Report Posted March 17, 2015 (edited) I don't think it should be that much of a problem. ----------- Edited January 13, 2021 by gmrhodes13 link not working, removed gmrhodes13 2021 Quote
FNGmacaroni[501st] Posted March 17, 2015 Report Posted March 17, 2015 Gonna have to get out the clippers and shave off all of that hair. Sorry. Quote
iconoclasta_88[501st] Posted March 17, 2015 Report Posted March 17, 2015 (edited) This is me, when I still had my dreadlocks. ------------------------------ I must say that most troops at that time were done with my old FX hemet, but I did some troops with my TE2 one. I had to tie my dreadlocks into 2 or 3 buns, and then place them inside the helmet... It was hot, and not very comfortable, but... it can be done. A hair net, balaclava or rasta knitted hat will do Saludos. Edited January 13, 2021 by gmrhodes13 link not working, removed gmrhodes13 2021 2 Quote
DarkTrooper[TK] Posted March 17, 2015 Report Posted March 17, 2015 Imagine those that have long hair AND wear glasses have to go through Quote
LuisG Posted March 18, 2015 Report Posted March 18, 2015 I have mid back lenght hair. I just tie it back in a normal pony tail with another hair tie or two down the lenght of the hair, stick it inside my shirt and put the neck seal over it. I have an ATA bucket by the way. Quote
Rat[TK] Posted March 18, 2015 Author Report Posted March 18, 2015 Ok yeah the post that Joe mentioned above I just found. Luis I haven't quite decided what way to go with armor yet. Still researching and reading. By reading I mean researching my masters thesis. Quote
Bone[501st] Posted March 18, 2015 Report Posted March 18, 2015 Wow Juan, your photo looks like a fierce crossbreed between Stormtrooper and Predator. You should have trooped without any helmet at all! I envy your hair. 1 Quote
Rat[TK] Posted March 18, 2015 Author Report Posted March 18, 2015 I would to dread mine, but alas the work life doesn't approve and it would be difficult to cover. Quote
