Thanks man! I can tell you from personal experience highcut+earpro is the way to go. I used a full cut ACH in Trashcanistan with both traditional headband Sordins & Peltors and it is headache inducing. I would cut apart my green army socks and wrap them around the headband for extra cushion, as well as removing the center circle helmet pad completely and rearranging the pads to fit the headband. Granted this was a decade ago and there weren't as many options for aftermarket helmet pads. But no matter what you're applying pressure to your nugget with anything that gets "sandwiched" between the helmet and your head.

There's actually a "kit" for the CVC conversion that has rails and other hardware. But you're drilling more holes into the CVC thereby hurting the integrity of your helmet. Personally I think the CVC conversions look goofy, the PASGT conversion is a little less goofy, and the ACH is the way to go. I would save up for a good condition ACH, I try to price them on my store round the 250ish mark. Sometimes you can get lucky on ebay or military surplus stores and get them for $200 and under. Plus the aftermarket is much better for an ACH than the CVC or PASGT.

Why isn't there any configuration where you have the ear protection under the full covered helmet instead of cutting it up like that. Those ear sets are not armored

@angryasianfab

5 ай бұрын

You can run ear pro under a full coverage helmet, it's just very uncomfortable for prolonged periods of time. It's a choice between comfort and protection, and while protection seems like the logical answer when you have to wear migraine inducing earpro under a helmet for hours a day, everyday, you may change your mind. Of course you could just run foam ear plugs, but you lose any potential comms ability without proper earpro.

What’s the lead time from wardogs

What’s the weight difference

These helmets are a trade off. For better comfort and lighter weight you also lose in protection. These will not stop most rifle penetration other than straight lead or expansion rounds. The US mil has been dumping these in mass ever since they were introduced in like 2016. They cant get rid of them fast enough through surplus. The older early 2000s full helmet style is heavier and blocks abit of hearing. But they they do stop basically all typical rifle rounds. High speed is nice. But unless you are wearing these all day everyday. Losing protection makes having this pretty much pointless for a high risk situation that it is intended to be used in. Aka self defense. I really like how this difference is pointed out in the video right off the bat. Outside of the video, I will add that most people seems to forget the headset is not bullet resistant when they choose a helmet.
