    Where to cut this helmet

    id cut it where the rear plate is, similarly as stated above, and then I would extend the remaining portion down an inch so that the rear can 'fasten to it (technically over it).

    If it were me, I would break it into two pieces, and add a lip as shown in orange. Then after putting the mask on.I would slide the back around.
