I bought an ice halo last week and then on Wednesday I went to a cold rink - I took my regular winter hat, pulled it down in front of my face, put the ice halo over it and then turned up the ends of the hat. It looks cute - like a fleece fedora or something -
Then for the mall rink where it gets quite warm I will just wear the plain ice halo...
Hmmm does putting a hat underneath the ice halo compromise the snug fit? After all, the protection should stay on the head thru the impact... But I think I'm the only person complaining about feeling unsecure in the halo. Did not help that young hockey friends easily picked it up from my head when I did shoot the ducks on publics.
My new DIY version is a 2" headband to go around the head kind of like ice halo does, made with gel pads and with a chin strap attached. Now I can wear any knit hat over it, yeah!! Need to improve the chin strap's look, but overall happy. I really used up every scrap piece from the original Akton polymer pad, lol.
