I'll let you know Tues night!
This is a little project I've been working on, it's a pair of adapter pieces that allow the Vive headstrap to be replaced with a commercially available welding headgear, found here. This was primarily inspired by a response made to one of my posts a month ago, which was the same idea but for a different headgear:

The main advantages that using a welding headgear gives you is that the Vive can be "flipped up" above the head when not in use, and the Vive isn't pulled against the face as much.
I'll post some photos showing it in action soon (I need to have a shave first/my beard is bloody awful), hopefully you guys like it!
The page says "12 pieces available", not too sure if I buy 1 "piece", or if I need to up my quantity to 12 to get all the pieces.
I guess I'm confused because it's not clear which pieces I'm electing to buy...
Edit: Thinking of buying this instead. Any thoughts? Think it'll do what OP's been able to muster? I know NOTHING ^^^^^John ^^^^^Snow about welding helmets and thier accessories, but I want a better mounting solution soooooo bad...
If you want to get fancy and comfy, buy the straps for a welding helmet. They're designed to be worn all day, have a built in sweatband, and have a really cool ratchet tightening mechanism:

Hope this helps!
This one's been going strong for 2 years. I did have to drill an extra hole it two for the little pins that adjust the to make it work, but it's better than what the hood came with

I'm going with this-

It is more expensive but it looks like one piece that you can take the side knobbies off completely. The only adjustments are the top strap and the back knob.
It's made by Honeywell, but you'll see them advertised as "Fibre-Metal Pipeliner". Not sure if Fibre-Metal is what they call the material (Which seems to be some sort of fiberglass variant), or if it's a subsidiary brand of Honeywell. THIS is the right one, and the exact one I have.
But as a word of warning, I hate the stock headgear. Some people seem to love it, but I couldn't get used to it. It's basically a rubber band on a clip, and I broke mine the first day I had it. I switched it out with THIS Jackson headgear. You'll have to drill out the square hole that the existing headgear uses, and then drill a few smaller holes where the adjustment tab clicks in. I had an easy time since the hood I use for TIG is a Jackson hood that uses that same headgear so I was able to make a template. If you're interested I could try to figure out what size the holes need to be and send you a picture of the layout tomorrow.
Also, if you want a flip-lens, Sellstrom sells a flip lens mod, but it does require significant cutting. I bought one a while back, but haven't had the guts to install it yet (Plus I'm worried about the extra weight.). Very handy if you're switching between welding and grinding a lot, or if you want to save your neck and avoid doing the nod every time you strike an arc.
Outlaw Leather also sells pre-modified Pipeliners. They're a little bit too out there for me, but I've seen a couple around the shop and they definitely get a lot of looks.
