You can to a lot by sewing accessories onto the hook pieces, like; glint, NODs bungie spots, even glueing a button light onto it. And for the love of John Moses Browning: go out and break it.

I need a battery pack/Power bank anyway for my Thermal. So I just chose a size that fit in the batter retention system from ferreo concepts. And Matched the weight I needed for balance. What I really like about the LTP is the retention system. Its is super stable. And very easy to adjust. But I had to shorten the chin straps. As my Head is huge. But my chin is not.

You don’t have as much of a point as you think you do when chest rigs are literally a thing. Mission set determines gear and it often makes sense to sacrifice ballistic protection for less weight. If I’m preparing for some level of societal collapse and not an invasion from another country, I can do with less protection from specific low level rifle threats and shrapnel. I don’t see myself running into indirect fire if I just need to scavenge stuff at night. Also, I say low level rifle threats because that’s all it’ll protect you from. Low level rifle threats that have lost a lot of energy through distance or ricochet, because helmets are almost exclusively 3A when ballistic.

Whats the likelihood you actually benefit from a helmet when rifles are extremely common? If you get shot in the head with anything but a pistol caliber you either get so much deformation you die or it goes right through and you die. All the stories of the GWOT of dudes “tanking” ak rounds were shots that wouldn’t have actually hit their head in the first place cause they were above or to the side of the dudes head. And with high cut helmets that are kinda essential for modern earpro you dont have protection from much unless they’re shooting straight down at you with a handgun, or at your head while you tie your shoe.

I picked one of these up about 9 months ago. Getting it directly from Gentex was a mistake. They make them on order so there is always a big delay. Aside from the 3 month wait and the extremely mid customer service from Gentex it is the best helmet I have ever worn. WAY better the Team Wendy.

Buying stuff from Gentex is a nightmare. They give you an estimated lead time which is usually on the low end of reality. Also I think they charge 25 bucks minimum shipping which for something like a counterweight or helmet cover is ludicrous.

Can you do a video on hearing protection? You have mentioned it a few times and I'd like to hear your thoughts in one place
