GBRS GROUP- Knowledge Transfer Helmet Edition

Cole and DJ talk about the importance of proper helmet setup and a few pro tips to get you started when setting up your own helmet system.

Love this down to earth easy going talk, the more it is like this the better, the clearer they are, the best to listen. I like this not extremely packed videos, it's like they invited us in the living room. They are out of the box, and this is what makes what they share unique.

[@murasakiiro447]

For my job I have to wear peltors under an ACH quite often for extended periods of time. This is some great advice for me as I do get those really bad peltor migraines. I guess I need to keep messing around with it. Keep the vids coming it's very helpful 👍

[@inlandbhsk8r]

Leave them in the helmet under the dome pad, that’s what I did

[@VosperCDN]

Running over the heads under the helmets was interesting to see - didn't expect there to be enough room even with the padding across the top removed. (My IRL experience with helmets ended back in 2000, when I got out.)

[@LOLNestor]

[@JJO117]

Pretty help full information for anyone who uses these. The Australian Army Infantry use Team Wendy helmets with Wilcox shrouds and mounts to connect the dual tube L-3 PVS-31A. I had a watered down soldiers 5 on the mount and NVG to get qualified to use them. so I was always wondering what half those knobs on the mounting systems do.

[@atlantaswelder]

NiCE! Thanks for sharing! Seems like the more i dig into the topic of coms the murkier and more expensive it gets. This helps

Good timing on this video, I'm in the process of getting a helmet setup and its frustrating trying to get it perfect. I'm running a single PVS 14 and trying to get it lined up perfectly with my left eye has been a challenge.

[@065Tim]

Every time you put your helmet on it is slightly different. So you need to adjust every time. Even with ops core fast SF, Wilcox mount and pvs31.

[@chrisdc1689]

I agree

[@ruanjacobs9900]

Good idea however I doubt they will share how they rocked it in the teams especially during their time in Devgru. Maybe they might share some tips from their earlier days in other seal teams but Devgru way of doing things is a no go I think. If they can share then you can bet your ass I will be paying close fucking attention.

Great information 🔥

[@Nick-hm9rh]

i think a product what would solve the Shroud issue would be an extended dovetail. the g69 or whatever where the mount+shroud are one Piece are cool since its lowpro but have fun breaking your neck due to there being no break away. the normal Opscore mount has the Pvs31 sitting to faar forward. so just a dovetail (the piece on the Nods that slots into the mount) thats just somwhat longer so the 31s sit further back would sord that out. only would need to be like half an inch more or so. maybe something yall can send towards Wilcox or whatever.

Them talking about the break away function reminded me of the time the mount came off just from the bungee rention during training and it left a cut under my eye cause i forgot eye pro. Now I don't use the break away unless situation calls for it, or if I have eye pro

[@Bonafided]

Always making hunting awesome

At 6:35, what was the helmet and nods mount..? Was the nods mount a G24, I thought they were break away only? I dont recall hearing it.

[@peterk814]

What brand helmet is that multicam one

[@AKlover]

Perhaps it is A stupid question but I'll ask it. Why not A fell face helmet? Or A gorget on the front plate for neck protection? Armor still too heavy leading to too much weight on the neck???

[@Tripplebeem]

Are ballistic helmets also good for impacts such as a fall or car crash, as well as stopping high speed projectiles? I've always wondered.

[@065Tim]

Not really. They are not designed to have some sort of dampening like motorcycle helmets. They do soften the blow with good padding but won't prevent high energetic trauma.

[@sam.fisher6928]

What pouches are attached to the old FAST MT at 9:20 mark? It looks like the Ops-Core FAST Mesh ANVIS battery pouch with unknown tourniquet holder velcroed/tied above it; any clarification would be appreciated!

@GBRS Group I have scrolled through the comments. I don't know if anyone has asked, but what is your take on umbrella torch mounts on the back of your helmet? You have a battery pack, counterweights (sometimes at least), cable routing, a tourniquet (which is interesting; never seen that done before, but it makes sense.)
