"If you're going the speed of light and hit something, an X-Wing helmet isn't going to do you much good." X-Wing Pilot Uniform Helmet ![]() Source: FlightHelmet.com The X-Wing helmet is an APH-6 flight helmet and was used during the war in Vietnam. ![]() Source: Converting an APH-6 Helmet You have a few different options when looking for an X-Wing helmet. If money is no issue, I highly recommend purchasing an APH-6 helmet (see vendor list below or call your local Army Navy Stores) and contact Richie's Armor for a conversion kit. Use these instructions for the conversion. ![]() Source: Richie's Armor Your second option is to purchase a mold that is based on a converted APH-6 helmet. Richie's Armor carries a good one for around $100 unfinished. ![]() The least expensive route is to buy a Don Post helmet from E-Bay. These run about $60 - $70.
