Graham,
The reason I have to take my helmet off is that with the front sewn up the nech opening is not wide enough to allow the neck guard to pass through. When I was sewing it up I did initially leave an unsewn length of about four inches at the top of the seem but I found that it hung rather uncomfortably so sewed it up fully to the top.
Matt,
My hood is also big enough to go over my helmet and I found I had to cut a curved shape out at the centre of the edge of my semicircle to allow for a comfortable fit for the neck with the hood attached.
