I still have my FAST maritime helmet that I used all the time to get out of vehicles, and man did it take some hits during Jumps......a minimum of a bump helmet is a must !.....Nice setup and tips brother.....Thanks
Great setup 👌🏼 be careful with the S&S mount, I seen you tied it around the ball joint, had a buddy almost lose his do to the fact we were hiking through some thick brush and the mount broke at that ball joint... pop out of the socket... ended up having to stick it in his pocket. Same light set up you have there. He luckily had his tied to that opening on the arm so it was hanging from his helmet and was saved because of it. Enjoy your content subbed
Thanks for the vid/info! would love to see more on NVG stuff. Any tips/tricks for working under NODS would be cool(Judging light conditions w/ duels, eye cups/no eye cups, tips for walking on various terrain, ect).
Why is it that after so many years of beating, bashing, smashing and breaking ourselves... we just can't seem to stop and just go fishing or buy a sailboat or something? Nope... just more gear and find a new way to beat, bash, smash and break ourselves!
Unless I have to set up my helmet to a Unit/team SOP I'm a big fan of not have everything attached to my helmet. Reason one is I don't care who you are after wearing your helmet for an extended time you are gonna take it off for a sec to get some airflow and relief for your head. the second reason is if anything your helmet gets fucked up and damage most people have their commo, eyepro, lights, and everything else built into your helmet you are basically completely outta the fight. Its not bad to have it that way but from my experience ill at the least my have my comms attached to it.
This is a well done video. I like it... I'm not sure how to say this without sounding like a dick, but a tip maybe? a request? something that would be nice?... either way, no disrespect or anything but if you had links for things... example, the light mount, the light, the helm cover... just so if i wanted to purchase the EXACT thing... i know we are on the same page. Thanks! well done! I will be back!
I detest helmets but do really like these high cuts. I saw one first time in 'stan would love to get one but they're far too pricey for me at the moment. Have a reinforced ball cap that I've used as a bump, just the crown is reinforced so it protects when getting in/out of stuff. And actually check out our ops helmets, zebra 3. III ballistic protection and is pretty similar to this but without any rails or such..cost you about 59.99 then add on whatever postage. Cheaper, doesn't comp on protection but isn't as adaptable as this. This one would be pretty brilliant though so definitely adding it to my personal gear list.
I'm personally a fan. I haven't used the newer E COTI but ran the PAS 29 while I was in. Some guys didn't like them based on the weight being added to the nods (it is noticeable,) so a lot of guys just ran thermals on the rifle. I say if you can get one for a good price and are constantly doing stuff at night it's worth it.
Ah yes day combat dude, cause like half the hours of the day aren't in low light.. movement at night is the way to go. You don't get to pick and choose engagement times. There's a reason most raids in theaters happen at night.. the enemy doesn't have nvgs, or a limited amount.
I’d go by the measurements gentex puts out. For reference I’m like a 7 3/8 hat size (with a good amount of hair) and I’m at the edge of a large with the lux liner
