Galea Lining
#4
A helmet with the remains of a felt lining made from sheeps wool has been found at Vindonissa, its a pretty early example it seems and was likely wrapped in a fur lined Leather bag or purpose made cover:

Ein" Fellhelm" aus Vindonissa

you can buy thick felt in sheet form or make your own.... felt works pretty well as a lining for a helmet as long as its fairly thick...

"And the four bare walls stand on the seashore. a wreck a skeleton a monument of that instability and vicissitude to which all things human are subject. Not a dwelling within sight, and the farm labourer, and curious traveller, are the only persons that ever visit the scene where once so many thousands were congregated." T.Lewin 1867
