RECEPTOR BUG

[hsavage]

yo NS.. For those of you who wear their receptor bug with goggles/beanie underneath i have a question. Do you take all of your pads out and cover the velcro or what? how do you find it fits? thanks.

 

[Rockhound]

the velcro is really low profile, but yes, if i want to wear a beanie underneath, i take the padding out

I was actully just having this problem. Is'nt the pads what saves your head or is it the shell?

the shell and padding absorbs the shock. the velcro cushions on the inside are for comfort

 

[J-Sway]

Thank you this ends the fight with my dad.

 

[410steeze]

haha, yeah the little cushions on the inside are no more protective than a beanie

Had a really similar argument like this with a concerned parent way back when.

Would they really make something important to personal safety easily removable?

pads....you dont need no stinkin pads! the beanie will provide the same amount of cushion if not more then the pads. Having said that i only removed the one on top

 

[Rockhound]

oh, i took all of them out except the top

 

[dunny]

its what fits me best ... also the fact that i dont ever really land on the very top of my head

 

[CDdesign]

why not just wear the gear like it was designed to do, with the pads in

Buy the receptor crown, 30$ cheaper and come w/o the pads

I rock beanie under and took out the front and top pads and flipped the side pads (L to R, R to L). Just pulled off the black layer on the spare pads and covered the exposed velcro with those. I really wish POC would sell it with different sized pads for customization. Whats the point of having 2 sets that are the same? It should come full sized pads in the helmet, with half sized and single layer as an accessory.

i love my tj pro and i ride them how he's designed. i usually don't take out anything except for the earpads on really warm days. i wear my crows underneath and it fits perfect. i bought the helmet to fit my head without a beanie but if i take the pads out i can wear one underneath. it only sucks that the beanie sticks to the helmet

 

[nkmo.]

Do like I did. Take your extra set of pads and separate them. There should be a black layer, then foam, then gray layer. Just peel the black layer off and use that to cover the velcro. Like I said though, I REALLY wish POC would throw in half sized and single layer pads.
