AOR2 Fabric!

Are those 15s real?

FAK I'm jealous :)

Nice job as always Ferro.

I wish!

:) phew.

Still looks fantastic. If my lid didn't have a water transfer camo, I would paint my helmet digital like that in a heartbeat.

What's the pouch on the back for? Strobe? Counterbalance?

Counterweight/balance when you run NVG in the front, it balances the helmet.

What's inserted in there to act as the counterweight?

Custom steel plates. Scrap metal plates.

Good to know...

I'm starting my foray in to the helmet sickness... Looking to source a real Base Jump Military, now. Seems like the Multicam version is backordered by about 10 weeks everywhere. Anyone know of a Canadian source?

Alternatively, I'm considering an Urban Tan and adding on the Multicam mesh cover. Anybody know the price of the cover? I haven't seen pricing on it anywhere yet.

Lanny is correct - they are counter weight pouches.

I run a PVS14 and when its connected - it makes the helmet front heavy.

To counter the weight created on the front of the helmet by the PVS14, you add weight to the back of the helmet.

Most counter weight pouches use lead weights.

I personally just went to my local metal shop, and had them cut to size some weights from scrap steel. I have a thick "heavy" weight and a thin "light" weight. I normally combine the two for the perfect counter balance.

Thankfully all newer systems use steel plates now, really dumb idea to put a big chunk of lead up to the back of your skull for long periods of time imo.

+1 I always thought the same thing :)

Where did you get the adapter to mount the sordin to your helmet
