mauler Posted February 3, 2010 Report Share Posted February 3, 2010 I am looking to get a good trooper bucket, and i have a larger head. No, I don't mean like massively abnormal big, but it is a tad larger than average. This being said, which bucket would do well for me....and about how much do they typically run? -mauler IC-5816 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
SuperTrooper Posted February 3, 2010 Report Share Posted February 3, 2010 The MRCE is over sized a little and the OSCS ANH helmet is quite roomy. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Shooter Posted February 3, 2010 Report Share Posted February 3, 2010 It depends how screen accurate you want to be. I got a big grape (7 5/8's, or 23.5" around) and I just got my first lid which is an AP (which are said to be the smaller variety) so although it's a little tight going on, it fits just fine when it's in place and I'm VERY happy with it, cuz it looks GREAT. I found the larger lids out there weren't as screen accurate as I would like. My two cents Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Daetrin[Admin] Posted February 3, 2010 Report Share Posted February 3, 2010 Part is how you trim/assemble too. Once in my garrison we lined up a few buckets : two TE2, and AP, and an RT. What was the "biggest" and "smallest" when the four of us tried them on? Yup, each of the TE2's. The ANHv2.5 is easily roomier though.

You can do a TE2 so that it's got quite a bit of room... the brow will be lower and the opening bigger, but it's more about how you assemble it than the actual helmet. Of course what everyone else said is true too. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
pandatrooper[TK] Posted February 3, 2010 Report Share Posted February 3, 2010 Very true. I've got a smaller noggin, so on my other lid I trimmed the cap brow a little higher, so that the face sits up slightly more, so that the chin doesn't hit my chest as much. This makes it "smaller". I can see that if you did the higher brow look, and angled it out slightly, it would look and fit slightly bigger too. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Murray1134[501st] Posted February 4, 2010 Report Share Posted February 4, 2010 I've got a pretty big noggin and I fit into the MRCE. I've only tried on 2 other TK buckets, my old FX and a Garrison mate's AP, but it was assembled very small and I wasn't able to get it on. Like everyone else has said, the majority of the sizing and fit is in the construction. You are building to your body, so you will make it fit you.
