Thanks for the insight Haunter. I guess I'm just hoping that the regular DP95 fits better due to a number of factors:
1. The fibreglass and gelcoat on the recast were pretty thick (It was a really well done helmet and it pained me to sell it) whereas the vinyl will hopefully be a little thinner all around.
2. The recast had been stretched a bit (I'm guessing) to give it more flare which should have taken away from the front to back space. The recast had lots of space side to side but the cheek areas came up short on my forehead.
3. I am hoping that by reinforcing the areas with lots of space and leaving the tight areas clear, I can have both space and support.

and lastly, the regular DP was all I could afford right now and should be decent for a "in the meantime" bucket. Besides, when i upgrade I'll sell the painted bucket on Ebay for more than I paid for it. ($50 for a DOP 95 was too sweet a deal to pass up)

Wish me luck!!!

[QUOTE="Jodo Kast 2749, post: 25865, member: 342"] Thanks for the insight Haunter. I guess I'm just hoping that the regular DP95 fits better due to a number of factors: 1. The fibreglass and gelcoat on the recast were pretty thick (It was a really well done helmet and it pained me to sell it) whereas the vinyl will hopefully be a little thinner all around. 2. The recast had been stretched a bit (I'm guessing) to give it more flare which should have taken away from the front to back space. The recast had lots of space side to side but the cheek areas came up short on my forehead. 3. I am hoping that by reinforcing the areas with lots of space and leaving the tight areas clear, I can have both space and support. and lastly, the regular DP was all I could afford right now and should be decent for a "in the meantime" bucket. Besides, when i upgrade I'll sell the painted bucket on Ebay for more than I paid for it. ($50 for a DOP 95 was too sweet a deal to pass up) Wish me luck!!! [/QUOTE]
