Helmet Bag

[chris_the_wrench]

Im looking for a helmet bag that provides abit of protection to keep my trusty helmet nice and safe when it's banging around in the back of my rig with skis, poles, tablesaw, etc.

Ive got this rad Kulkea boot bag, and it's got this sporty sling contraption for the helmet but it doesn't offer much protection. My helmet almost fits in the main pocket, but not really. Looks like Smith made/makes one but I haven't found one to look at. Anyone have something that works well? I can fit all my other gear into the Kulkea bag, so Id prefer this to be pretty streamlined, just my helmet/googles. I've even consider some kind of bag like a stuff sack with abit of padding...


I stopped by a goodwill last week looking for a bowling ball bag, but no luck...

There should've been one with your helmet if you bought name brand, otherwise eBay search: ski helmet bag. If you need something tougher you can also peruse into bike or motorcycle helmet bag if you like, but these tend to be bigger. If there is a specific helmet brand logo you want you can add that to your search.

The ski helmet bags don't have padding, because if your helmet can't take a bump, you got other issues. They are usually are soft touch microfiber that won't scratch goggles, but meant to be inside a gear bag, not out alone.
You want at least to have a drawstring so you can cinch it up and now you can put other things like spare goggles into the cavity without it all falling out

Fleece aftermarket oth hood? double duty.

Every Poc helmet we've got has come with a bag. Very minimalist to protect the finish I assume. I don't understand why a helmet would need padding to protect it.

I see a Poc bag on ebay for $1.99 right now. And searches for cloth helmet bag turn up a bunch of results.

Have you tried rolling it in? Top of helmet down, stick the back in first then roll the brim in. That's the way I get mine in the bag. Sometimes I have to pull the back of the bag up some to get it to work. I can get it in my Thermal Trekker with a sweater, pants, and jacket in the main compartment. Then goggles go in the helmet for protection.

That looks pretty cool. So nice that I worry about it being damaged. Is there some kind of protective case for that case?

Yeah motorcycle helmets have bags of you can't find anything. Try Arai helmet bag.

Kinda leaning that way now, then I could swap in my dirt bike helmet in the summer time. But now I wonder if the visor on my dirtbike helmet throws that idea away?? Is there special Moto helmet bags for visors(falling down the rabbit hole.....).

If my boots aren't in their homes, yes it can wedge in. BUT I pack alot of stuff(jacket, gloves, mid layer) in there and I like how that stuff gets warm from the heated boot bag!

So you need a helmet for your helmet?

I have a nice padded bag that came with my Giro Orbit visor helmet... maybe you can get one by calling Giro?

Otherwise, Sweet Protection makes this:

Sweet do a larger one too, only a hard shell, without padding, but stops knocks against the arms of plane seats, bags dumped on hard floors, or airport security staff who think they need to pick up what you put in the tray and thud it in there again:

You could try a bag for a tactical helmet. Here is an Amazon one:

If you are cheap, put your helmet in a milk crate (I assume you can get them free from some body). Use pipe insulation foam to take up space if needed. My buddy use milk crate for his boots and helmet.

Poc, sweet and other brand race helmers come with a hard shell case that is the best solution. I may have one available
