How to fit your helmet/chinstrap like college players?

[NF Lax23----<o)]

We all know how rad it looks when you are looking out the top bars of a cpx. But does anyone actually know how to go about fitting it like that? Like how tight to make the upper chinstrap straps(if that's what you want to call them) as opposed to the lower straps?

i think with the cpx you can just adjust the chinstrap so it goes that way. if you mean with a c-pro theres a thread on that, i just can't find it. basically you unscrew the screw on the visor, then flip the plastic black thing so that it is outside the facemask instead of inside like it was before. after that you just screw it back on and its done...i think that looks pretty sweet, used to do that before i got my cpx.

i have a cpx and i just messed with the xhinstrap till i got it just right

It's not like they're doing anything special. The CPX is designed to be worn so you're looking through the top bars.

haha, like college players. we actually don't do anything special to our helmets. just fool around with it until you can clearly see.

[Marty Dawg]

i was trying to ask the exact same thing a couple of threads ago.....so its not anything special? just fool around with it?

and what was ron_burgendy talking about with the black thing in the cpro?

All the kids on my team do that.. it annoys me.

Anyway, make the top snaps, by your temples, tighter and the ones by your ears looser and you should get that effect.

ron meant you can push the facemask in so its slanted and looks lower, like you can do w/ a stryke helmet

put on the helmet with all the straps really loose. then hold the chin piece to your chin and have some one adjust it while you have it sitting just the way you want it to on your head. thats how the guy at Laxworld helped me fit my helmet.
