What's it like seeing out of the Fett helmet, is the tint good and how much peripheral vision do you have. Cause I'm sure stormtrooper helmets are hard to see out of, but Fett's looks like it might not be too bad

As long as you have the helmet sitting on your head right you still have a fair bit of periferal vision as for cisibility it really depends on what you use for a visor i always use a visor from t-visor.com noone will see your face at all but you could read a book wearing it
 
Pretty good as far as prop helmets go, tons of peripheral, plus downwards vision which a lot of helmets lack. It's not too shabby a design.

Fett on left and Stormtrooper on right:

The Stormtrooper would be great if not for that filled-in center part. It's a little better actually wearing it since your eye is closer than my camera, but it's still there. Probally why they suck so much more than the clones, who had a full visor.

It's not as bad as the TKs I've seen, or the Vader for that matter, but it's not great. The tint to the visor really doesn't bother me, but the slits don't go far enough around to get real peripheral vision, and in my experience I can't see my feet (or where they're going) without tilting the helmet down quite a ways. You don't want to plan on trooping without someone to assist.

Yeah, I was curious about this too. Still trying to secure me a Fett bucket! Lol

I have a stormtrooper and a scout trooper. The scout has more visibility since there's a visor, so I figured Fett would be a little similar. I figure a Bossk or a Zuckuss would be a nightmare!

Nothing can be as bad as a gunner or imperial guard.

Each have their own issues. I troop a guard right now and can see fairly well left to right. Looking down, especially kid height or at obstacles at my feet is hard. The most restrictive part of seeing isn't the width of the visor, it's not being able to move your head left to right. Ive worn a gunner and there is an even larger blind spot right in front of you, but you can move your head. Honestly I think almost all helmets are designed to force you to point your nose towards the ground because it makes you look like you're glaring at people.
