MINDWARP
LINER BAKING INSTRUCTIONS

Thank-you for choosing the MINDWARP Open-Faced helmet.
Please read these steps carefully BEFORE fitting your new helmet.

The MINDWARP Basics
The liner is made up of three sections of a thermo-formable foam, which when heated will soften and can be molded during the cooling process.
DO NOT HEAT TOP PAD, just ear pieces.

  • Preheat oven to 200 Fahrenheit or 80 centigrade.

  • Place the helmet with liner, on a piece of cardboard, in the center of the oven. Make sure the helmet is not touching any sides of the oven.

  • TURN OFF THE OVEN

  • Leave the helmet in the oven for 10-15 minutes until the heat permeates the helmet making it more flexible.

  • Remove the helmet, AND THE CARDBOARD, and place the helmet on your head.

  • Using a towel or pot holders apply pressure at the ears, pushing the helmet down and towards the ears.

  • Hold the helmet in this position until the helmet cools and becomes less flexible. Approximately 10 minutes

  • REMOVE THE CARDBOARD FROM THE OVEN!

The procedure above can be repeated for a custom fit.

Helpful Hints and Tricks for The Kitchen - Custom Fitting Instructions

Practice putting the helmet on and taking it off before jumping it.

  • Always make sure your helmet is on straight during the cooling process. It forms the way you tell it to.

  • When you remove the ear pads from the oven, before you place them in the helmet pinch down the edges as follows:

  • When you place the helmet on your head and have it locked, tuck in the liner in any places it may be sticking out.

  • Remember that any areas you pinch or compress will remain that way permanently. Do this procedure only in places where it is absolutely necessary.

  • The helmet may be uncomfortable in the beginning. This is caused by the expansion of air bubbles in the liner at altitude. Be patient, the liner WILL break in and become more comfortable.

FLAT-TOP PRO & NARROW
LINER BAKING INSTRUCTIONS

Thank-you for choosing the either the FLAT-TOP PRO or FLAT-TOP NARROW camera helmet.
Please read these steps carefully BEFORE fitting your new helmet.

The FLAT-TOP PRO & NARROW Basics
The liner is made up of sections of a thermo-formable foam, which when heated will soften and can be molded during the cooling process.
Enclosed with your helmet you will find a shim kit.

  • Try on the helmet before baking the liner. Use the shim kit provided to ‘perfect’ the fit by adding or removing foam from the outer liner until a tight, uncomfortable fit is acquired. The baking process will warm and soften the liner in such a way that it ‘custom molds’ to your head.

  • Preheat your oven to 200° Fahrenheit or 80° Celsius. Carefully remove all liner sections except for the BONE LATCH PAD from your helmet and place only the top and chin pads on a piece of cardboard in the oven. Do not allow any part of the liner to touch the edges or metal of the oven.

  • Heat the foam 15 minutes or until the heat has permeated the liner sufficiently. Remove these pieces from the oven and quickly but carefully re-insert them into the helmet.

  • Immediately place the helmet on your head, close and lock the Bone. The pad will be hot, however should not burn your head.

    Leave the ladder strap two clicks from being completely closed on the helmet.

    The helmet should be fitted in this position but NEVER jumped in this position. Doing this make for a tighter fit when actually jumping the helmet. When jumping the helmet the bone should almost meet the Helmet. Make sure the helmet is straight by looking in a mirror. Do not talk during this cooling process. This cooling process takes about 10-15 minutes.

  • While waiting for the liner to cool, place the ear sections in the oven on the cardboard.

  • When the top is cooled and the earpieces are sufficiently heated, remove the helmet and take out the top pad and carefully place the earpieces in their appropriate locations inside the helmet then reinsert the top pad.

  • Put the helmet on and again make sure it is straight, allow the ears to cool.

  • REMOVE THE CARDBOARD FROM THE OVEN

  • When all sections have cooled completely, your Flat-Top should have a tight secure fit.

OPTIK CAMERA HELMET
LINER BAKING INSTRUCTIONS

Thank-you for choosing the OPTIK camera helmet.
Please read these steps carefully BEFORE fitting your new helmet.

The OPTIK Basics
The liner is made up of a thermo formable foam, which when heated will soften and can be molded during the cooling process.
DO NOT HEAT TOP PAD, just ear and chin pieces

Remember, because this is a camera helmet, you want it to fit tighter than the normal skydiving helmet.

Included with your helmet you will find a few extra pieces of foam (shims). Put the helmet on your head and feel the fit. If it is too loose, use the shims supplied and place them inside the liner, where needed. If you need only the back or the ears (but not both), cut the piece and fill the liner only where necessary. If the helmet is unbearably tight, remove the thinnest padding that is inside the liner. If it is only slightly tight, follow the following optional baking instructions for a perfect fit.

OPTIONAL Baking Instructions

  • The Optik fits most heads perfectly, without the need for baking. But, if you want the liner to fit just a little more comfortably, follow these custom-baking instructions, after you have added or removed shims for a good fit. The liner will compress or expand slightly where needed.

  • DO NOT HEAT TOP PAD, just ear and chin pieces

  • Preheat oven to 200 Fahrenheit or 80 centigrade.

  • Place the helmet on a piece of cardboard on a baking sheet in the center of the oven. Make sure the helmet is not touching any sides of the oven.

  • REMEMBER TO REMOVE THE CARDBOARD AFTER BAKING & TURN OFF THE OVEN!!!

  • Leave the helmet in the oven for 10-15 minutes until the heat permeates the helmet making it more flexible.

  • Remove the helmet and place it on your head.

  • Using a towel or pot holders, apply pressure at the ears, pushing the helmet straight in towards your ears.

  • Hold the helmet in this position until the helmet cools and becomes less flexible. Approximately 10 minutes.

  • REMOVE THE CARDBOARD!!!

In cases where the wearer has a larger size head, baking only the liner will do the trick!. Just bake the liner as instructed below, and put the helmet on your head. NOT pushing in the sides.
