I wish someone made arc rails for team wendy helmet as a aftermarket replacement.

[@meatsmudge5349]

Thanks for the video and all you guys do. Super appreciated. Definitely gonna skin out my SF do this mod.

[@ikemouser2580]

But doesn't the "skateboard" liner inside the ops core helmet provide additional deformation protection? I want to remove mine to test out the new HHV lattice pads. Currently running a fast SF with 4d pads and TW suspension.

[@arthurfranco9191]

Very great tutorial! I too run BOA & 4D Tactical pads for extreme comfort, not to mention the benefit of mitigating a TBI.

[@starkindustries127]

do you recommend getting a size larger in the opscore ballistic helmets if planning on using team Wendy's liner system?

[@daconqueror101]

I have a tacprogear scout helmet. They are no longer made. They were on sale. It came with Ops Core mounts, I gutted the pads and suspension and replaced them with Team Wendy. I ended up with a cheaper off-brand-but-still NIJ certified helmet with Team Wendy comfort and Ops Core mounts. Best of all 3 worlds.

Finger guns earned my like, lol! Also, helmets are something I'm starting to look into, so I appreciate the info.

[@despacito111]

Good stuff

[@ilovefreeski]

Any idea which model performs better in terms of back force deformation and ballistic performance between the ops core fast sf and the team wendy exfil sl?

[@timmarshall3651]

I’m bracing myself for all the feeling I’m gonna hurt about that LUX LINER😂

[@andrewspratley6548]

I’m torn between their Pad Set that has 1/2 inch padding and their 3/4 inch. Do these compress down a lot? I have this gut feeling that the 3/4 brow isn’t gonna work for me and I don’t know why.

[@ivaniuk123]

Isn't that lux liner there to help with shock absorption just in case you were shot or got a big blow to your head?

[@Carlitos21600]

You guys should do a detail video with steps on doing this upgrade. Thanks guys keep up the good work

[@maj.kamper9314]

Can you swap the rails to the team Wendy helmet? I’m sure rails and other ops core stuff are cheaper than another ballistic helmet.

[@rudy8146]

I've been attempting to find a ballistics test of the TW EXFIL ballistic helmet. Any help would be greatly appreciated.

[@dleal0313]

Great vid. I have an HHV helmet (pre MLOK rails) with TW liner and BOA suspension. Looking to upgrade to Ops Core SF. Did you guys use the same sizing for your TW internals when put into Ops core shell? Or did you have to change sizes for internals or shell to make the combo work? Thanks!

[@awsomedude9111]

Are you talking about the $2,000 Ops core SF helmet? Ouch

[@robbyfukinawa4285]

Will any of these options work with an Ops Core Fast Carbon High Cut?

[@OnMyGrizzle]

Maybe a dumb question but what 4d pad kit did you use after? not sure about compatibility after the liner was taken out.

[@perpetualconfusion5885]

Me with my PASGT high cut conversion I did with a Dremel 😭
