Royal Canadian
Dragoon's Helmet
In 2008, the
regiment required new helmets for its 125th anniversary celebrations on
Parliament Hill in Ottawa, Canada.
The previous helmets were too
heavy and extremely uncomfortable and other suppliers only offered
over-sized awkward designs that flopped around when mounted or when on
the march.
Lastly a couple of UK companies offer solutions but
were 3 times the price of what could be afforded.
With only 4 months
before the muster, we were able to re-design the helmet so that it was
both comfortable for the modern size of head, was properly proportioned,
regained its original elegant shape, and was less prone to denting; as
was the case with the first version a hundred years ago.
All
the helmets were delivered on time and on budget and the regiment looked
incredible!
