I’ve added two brand new never used pads for your head. I also have some additional ones (pictured) you can position for your head size. Just stick Velcro where they need to go (velcro provided). As anyone will tell you, it is up to your 501st GML to determine if this is approved, but I will say that I currently use this helmet with my 501st approved TK and used it to get it approved. You should not have a problem getting approved with this helmet. This is not a toy. This is a thick ABS stormtrooper helmet meant to look like the screen used helmets.
