I have been waiting for a Helmet pod for the last 6month her in denmark. So now i desidet to make something myself.
I used the procedure from this clip.
The pattern ned to bee refined a little, but so far i am pleased with the result.
The plan is to make a hard shell with som fiberglass from a previous project. and then sew a bag to place it all in.
What do you think
The project is about making a helmet pod for transportation of a not cheap helmet. And for the fun of making something yourself, like my homemade wheelcovers from ABS, and my customised Specialized Fuel Cell.
If it was possible to by one in Denmark, I would have done it. I have been waiting for 6 month, to get one from the danish giro distributor. If I had to by from overseas it would cost (50$ +shipping) *1,12 toll *1,25 tax+ 25$ expedition from postal services. All in all about 140$. But if you know of a place in Europe that has online sale, and ships to Denmark I would like to know. Giro themselves have not Ben of any help.
What about throwing it inside a few pillowcases? I have mine (same helmet) inside one of the bags IM handed out at 70.3 races four years ago - the material of the bag is somewhat padded and it cinches closed. I guess it seems like a lot of work for an uncomplicated problem.
