I have this helmet. It's really great, however I can't figure out how to mount things to the rails. They look like "inverted" 20mm rails, it looks like I could attach a rail to it but I can't figure out how to attach for example my Tachyon OPS HD helmet camera to it easily and securely. Any Ideas? Do you mount anything onto yours?
@ilovepinkfloydyay I've actually removed my rails since I don't plan on mounting anything for a while, but they work using small accessory pieces. I think EBB may have some, if not then Ops-Core will. There's a few types, but they all slot in to the sides of the helmet and then provide a mounting system at the other end, like a small stretch of 20mm rail.
@CKinnerley Aaaaaaahhhh yeah I see them now. Thank's man, I think I'll pick up a few from EB. It took them like 3 weeks to deliver the helmet, I wish I'd ordered them with it, now I'll have to wait another 3 weeks hahah! Unless I can find somewhere in the UK that stocks them...
@BruceBufferFTW Can do if that's what people want, there is one review already available although I'm watching it at the moment and it's not bad, but he's got a few details incorrect.
@LukeMiller94 Considering how many inferior replica helmets are out there which cost double the money I heartily agree with you. There's a lot of low quality Ops-Core clones in UK stores right now which cost around £80, where as this one costs less than £40 and is built to a far higher standard.
I got my AirFrame lid yesterday.I've been picking up a lot of Helmets recently to try & get one that doesn't cause my glasses to fog up.The most recent i've got were the copy OpCore lids,i think i prefer them over the Air Frame lid.I'm lucky that i have a lot of spare Helmet pads knocking about to make sure this Helmet is comfortable when wearing my Sordins.
@ThEgOdOfAiRsOfT Not far off, 2008 Field Parka. I usually wear an issue DPM field jacket every day in work and I wanted something similar for airsoft in a more modern camo pattern, so the Helikon was a good option. Quality isn't as high as Crye/5.11 etc but then this stuff is a lot cheaper, so it's good value for money when it comes to 'softing.
@CKinnerley Yes i agree although i just use it for cadets now that were allowed to were multi terrain pattern. why do you guys still were Dpm parkas. your raf right? because our atc cadets are allowed to wear MTP i do :P
@ThEgOdOfAiRsOfT Not everyone in the UK's armed forces have been issued MTP yet, and if you've not been issued with it, you're not allowed to wear it about. Even if I was allowed, not much point spending loads of my own money when I'm eventually going to get given it anyway and I have a free supply of unlimited new CS95 stuff.
@CKinnerley Fair point :) CS95 is nice as well . i still use it for airsoft and when i go to airshows in england im from northenr ireland. nice videos btw i based everything i got at christmas after the gear videos you make
im sorry chris, i despise of helmets, hot, heavy, restrictive view, straps everywhere. BUT in air soft its what floats your boat isn't it! glad you like it :) Troy Industries ball cap for me :)
@TheJaaysog Well that's the good thing about this one. I've had a couple of others and this one's definitely not heavy. The gap in the top lets the air flow, no vision restriction and as you see in the video, the straps sort themselves out. I'll still wear a cap most of the time because I've had similar experiences to yours with other helmets, but this one is a huge step forward from every single other previous design.
can you please send me a link to where you bought yours in m/l i cant find any

@olafleifson They are, though there's no equivalent of that in the real world so I'll be getting the Crye helmet cover myself.
