Tactical Neko Ears

We know, we know. I won't judge, here's your tactical cat ears.

Choose between adheasive-foam backed (for hard surfaces like bare helmets), velco-backed (for soft velcro helmet covers), or with no backing if you'd like to use your own method to attach them. [Now also available in either black or white.]

Taking inspiration from 'cat-ear' style motorcycle helmets that supposedly help aerodynamics and air-flow, these ears are solidly made with a good volume to the design. Much less likely to crack, shatter or fold like others on the market. Though keep in mind milage will vary depending on playstyle, environment, and treatment.

Usage

To attach:
If using the foam-backed version, simply choose two spots on your helmet (or any other hard surface) and ensure they are clean. We recommend you use a bit of isopropyl alchohol to clean the surface first. Then remove the backing of the adheasive, and apply to your chosen surface.
If using the velcro-back version, simply apply straight to soft (loop) velcro. Giving it a slight twist and downward pressure can help the velcro bond more securely.

If you lack soft velcro in the right places, we recommend buying a strip of soft velcro that is adheasive-backed. Then you can either stick this strip accross a helmet, or attach a hooked stip of velcro to the underside to create a 'bridge' of velcro you can alpply accross the top of your helmet.


Alternatively, if attaching using your own method, you can use a thick double-sided adhesive foam tape for attaching to more irregular surfaces.
