Funny you posted that video. I watched it and went over the weekend and bought that storage container except the one I got is olive drab green.
It fits perfectly in my vette.
I've only carried a helmet on a plane one time, but I did carry it in a soft sided helmet bag. It was fine.
I kept in on the floor in front of me between my feet.
Maybe people who transport their costumes more often for trooping events can chime in.
What do you use to transport your helmet?
I was looking at motorcycle helmet bags, but wasn't sure a Boba bucket would fit even with the range finder folded down.
DeathProof! That video is a classic. I still pack my kit tote this way. Haven’t seen him around here in a while. His WIP thread is also awesome. He had another video showing the steps he uses to get suited up.
Not a "care" tip per se, but a good preventative measure that I have used before to give a helmet more strenght especially in the mandible area:
glue or putty in a bent to shape metal band that connects the mandibles, far enough away from the visor to still allow for a quick change and obviously close enough so that you can still easily get it past your nose.

I've done the same usually held the helmet on the plane as well. I'm overly protective in TSA too. I also dissemble the range finder from my helmet with traveling as well.
