Bucket Sizes and specs

Post by TrooperKerry »

Okay I am about 80% done with my FX bucket, and I know it's rather obsolete in some circles.

But I am sitting here wondering,..................how will a different bucket fit me???????
I have to turn the FX sideways to get it on (guess I have a big head) granted after it's on, and swivled into place, there is lots of room.....................but how would a smaller more accurate bucket fit? OR would it even fit me at all???

So I guess this is for all the TK's out there that have FX and happy with it but have other buckets as well.

i have two screen accurate buckets and to get them on I have to turn them sideways to get them on. They are smaller than the FX for sure. What size hat do you wear?

We have the same hat size and I can wear the more accurate buckets. I have an RT Mod bucket currently. I usually don't wear it for events, however. I like the comfort zone of the FX Bucket. These specialty buckets are much smaller than the FX Buckets for sure, but you should be able to fit in them just fine.

well I'm glad to know...................not that I am ready to spend extra cash right now.

But I file all info in the appropriate brain cell until the need to retrieve it :lol:

Well time to go get more frustrations by continuing the armor build!

Thanks Guys

I don't think I have met anyone except some ladies and children that didn't need to turn the sunbonnet sideways to get it on. Sounds like you're pretty normal to me. Also, I think you will like the spare room. You can put toys in there and it with the extra space there is more circulation of air. No fogging up kind of deal.

So far, the FX is the ONLY bucket I can get my huge melon crammed in. I tried the MR Buckets and ANH buckets as well as any Don Post anything..... :(
