Title: Albion helmet padding
Post by: Duck Duck Mongoose on February 15, 2022, 01:25:55 PM

I'm looking to revive and refurb my Albion Club Elite helmet for the new season. Most pressingly I need new foam inserts for inside the helmet, does anyone know where I can get some?

I'm also looking for new ear pads and possibly a titanium grill for it. I've spent a while searching online and drawn a blank so all leads welcome. Thanks!

ive got shed loads of coloured (red/grey and black versions from memory) ear pads for the grille if it's the type that was on the club mk2 model like the link below?

I need to look for padding too as I  know a few members have asked previously and I had a box of that too that I need to locate in the "archives" of my storage unit! Failing that I've got foam padding sets that I use on my own helmets that fit, they come in a pack that included 3 different thicknesses.

Yes that's the one! I will gladly take a pair of the red ones off your hands please.

Would also really appreciate if you managed to find some of the padding - I'm sure yours would do the job fine but the main reason I like this helmet so much is the ventilation so I'd like to be able to keep the air holes clear.

Do you want to PM me payment details?

Let me have a dig about tomorrow and report back on everything and will PM you once I've successfully tracked things down.

@Duck Duck Mongoose after a good rummage I’ve found the below, the padding is 10mm thick and comes in a pack of 3. It came from the people who made Albion helmets back then.

Nice one, thank you. Padding looks a different shape to mine but I'll give it a go.

I will PM you my address, do you want to respond to that with how I can send payment? Thanks again, I appreciate the effort you've gone to
