Right on

Thanks for the insight and your experience with the pad sets! I know at some point in the future someone will ask about this and hopefully this will help narrow things down for them 🤙🏻

Glad you enjoy it!

Appreciate it!

I appreciate you!!!!!

Much appreciated!

I appreciate your input! That vari arc is an interesting product.

@@LegionPreparedness Yeah, it works, but had I seen your video earlier, I would have saved myself 30 bucks. 😂

@@allpraisetothemosthigh7770 that’s one of the of the goals of the channel. help save people money!

@@LegionPreparedness Love it.. there’s so much gear out there and I’ve been out of the army for a long time now, so these reviews really help.

7 years ago almost and maybe 3-4 months

Not that big lol

Peltor comtac iii single cable variant with usually a single or double ptt from sylnx, or tea, or the standard single mil surplus 94 ptt that’s kind of a boxy config

I couldnt tell you I sold mine about a year ago and for a .2lb probably not you probably wouldnt even notice it

@@LegionPreparedness I ended up buying a Large Airframe and found it all-day comfortable, even as someone who has never worn a helmet. I’d be comfortable with another 3oz, but I could see how after an IR strobe, a few tasklights, and ear pro + comms gear, one might find the 3oz weight savings worth it, but my helmet loadout is not there yet. Once again, my experience is very limited, but in hindsight, I’d pick the ATX over the regular Airframe and enjoy the peace of mind that level IIIA protection confers. Ideally, I’d get both. One for breaching/CQB, and one for nighttime or long-term use.

I went almost 6 years in the military without knowing that. I thought it was one of the coolest attention to detail bits of knowledge ive ever learned! I haven't heard anything yet but im sure there's a story out there!

Yes there is. Military Helmet Corner on instagram has a picture of an Airframe that safed a dude

They should have sizing charts

@@LegionPreparedness I guess what I was trying to get at is do they run small or large I'm at work so can't watch video really if you explained that But yeah ill look at the chart too haha

Sorry for all the comments But this would be my first helmet Do I NEED to get the pads with it? Or are they just an optional accessory Basically on your opinion what should I order with it? Thank you

@@goose33 you’re all good that’s what I’m here for and the helmet should come with some inexpensive pads, however I would look at team Wendy epic or epic air pads and the boa chin strap system. It’ll make the helmet fit and feel more comfortable

@@goose33 I’m honestly not familiar with their new system for sizing. When I originally bought the helmet they had small / medium and large / extra large. So to give you a better answer you’ll have to look at their sizing chart because of the independent size options they have now. When I bought it they ran a little large. My best recommendation is get the measurements as close as possible and double check team Wendy sizing to get a near perfect fit. It’ll take a little research but you should be able to match everything up as close as possible .. worse case scenario crye has a fairly good customer service system and if it doesn’t fit well when you put it together you can return it and get a different size

I’ve heard of the study where they looked into how much pressure gets vented out the opening but I have not seen the data to know how true that statement is

@@LegionPreparedness do you know anyone who has used one in operation

@@ElMachoMucho myself and about 5/6 other guys have all used this operationally it’s a phenomenal helmet as long as you invest in good padding!

@@LegionPreparedness Thanks for the input and don't stop putting out awesome vids

Lol
