The cloth helmet was uncomfortable for Cindy Morgan was what I was told and she asked to have a helmet instead.

Earlier and later it's sort of a snug cloth piece, but in the middle (possibly when they're highjacking the solar sim) it's one of the hockey-like helmets like the main blue heroes wear? Anyone know why it changed / what the deal was?

Dave is correct, here is her response to the question in the 2002 interview she did with with Tron Sector which you can find under Articles: "Interviews" in the left Nav Bar....

In the scene on the Solar Sailer (and only that scene), Yori is wearing the same type of helmet as the male programs. The rest of the time she is wearing the same skull cap as the rest of the female programs. Is there an "official" explanation for this (ie: maybe there was some footage that didn't make the final cut or something)? - Lew

"One day I got fed up with the skull cap and I said 'I'm wearing this' and grabbed a helmet and put it on. You see, the skull cap was glued to my head. They put a wire in it to make it look perfect, because they were doing close-ups, and I would blister. Then they would glue it to the blisters. I grabbed a helmet because I saw one sitting there, they had extras. I'm lucky it was on the Solar Sailer because it kind of makes sense."

Aside from the during production reasons for the helmet change, I thought similar to what Nikster posted. It just made sense to me like that. Yuri has the "skullcap" version when working or more simply put, when participating in tasks may not be of her own choosing. And then there is the more traditional TRON helmet attire for when she is doing more of what programs do when they're tasks are complete and/or when they are growing beyond their original set of instructions.

So... what did you all like better?

Her skullcap look or her helmet look?

The helmet honestly looks comfortable to wear compared to the skullcap. ^^;
