No, I don't. I think the bubble wrap in the envelope will do a fine job of protecting your helmets. But if you want, you can wrap it in cardboard, an extra layer of bubble wrap, or something similar to give it a bit more cushion. It should still fit in the bubble envelopes. I've never seen one so I don't know how fragile they are.
Then and again, we send cards out with little or no protection, so taking chances is a part of the hobby, I guess. It all depends on how easy and expensive it would be to replace it. It's up to you. I don't blame you for being cautious.
