I'm after some Velcro or any generic hook and loop to keep pads attached to the inside of my helmet. The small self adhesive pads that came with a universal MET pad kit do not appear to be up to the job.

So any advice as to what hook and loop to buy that has a strong adhesive and will stay stuck?

Thank you kindly.

3M do some stuff called dual lock which grips more strongly than velcro.
Also they do some that has a (very sticky) self adhesive backing.

dual-lock is a bit on thick side when joined, possibly not ideal to have between your head and helmet (comfort-wise). Hell of a grip on it though.

I'd just head to B&Q and get some normal velcro

Dual lock only sticks to dual lock though - I use it for other things, great stuff, but not for this application.

I need a hook and loop type product as it will stick to the pad backing.
