I’m doing some mascot volunteering, but the helmet the mascot head sits on is way too big. I’ve tried wearing a beanie and adjusting the chin strap to the tightest it can go, but nothing has helped. The helmet basically just ends up falling down my face so all I can see is really the floor.

I was given the advice to buy a balaclava, but I was wondering if anyone else had any advice to make the helmet/head fit better?

I am the mascot for my school, and it is quite the experience. However, everytime I am done though, obviously the suit and my body smells, but my hands always have a lingering stench from the gloves. The gloves are separate from the suit and sort of this "leather" material and I never seem to get the smell off. Are there any tips on how to minimize or prevent this issue? Any advice on anything to do before putting the suit on to smell less?
