From my brother's use of the helmet, I’ve found that the velcro patches are rather flimsy, and they make the padding for the sides come off quite easily, which can be frustrating if you are wearing it multiple times, or even if you just want to make the smallest of adjustments. Furthermore, the chin strap gets in the way of the pads sometimes, causing them to dislodge and forcing you to have to readjust them again. It might have been better to have made the velcro straps stronger or larger, especially on the ears, and the pads a little smaller so they won’t have to keep fighting with the chin strap for space. But this was probably in an attempt to make it as screen accurate as possible, though at the cost of ergonomics. Role playing with this helmet is quite immersing, However, its shoddy interior ultimately hinders its overall quality. Not bad for the price, but overall not a very easy helmet to put on and take off. I'd say it is better as a display piece.
