The friendly neighborhood postal-man dropped off a nice package for me today. My flectarn camo! 
When I picked up the box I was surprised at how light it was. Since my ebay win came with a metal helmet I thought it would be weighing a fair bit more.
Once I got it all unpacked though and put the helmet on my head I could soon feel its weight. With my head flooping from side to side I wished it was as light as my replica kevlar helmet. ;D
Helmet w/ helmet cover are great! The cover was pretty much brand new too so that was good. To test its ballistic qualities I had Ballista shoot me in the head while wearing the helmet. While it sounded like a good idea at the time it didn't take long for me to change my mind. With only one shot from my Beretta Elite the helmet left a nasty loud ringing sound in my ears for quite a while. Ack, even now I still swear I hear it.
The shirt/jacket was also of very good quality, hardly used at all either and fit like a charm. No complaints there at all.
But, all is not well with the rest of the package. The pants were a lot more faded than I thought they'd be, and they really stand out when compared to the helmet cover and shirt.
They're almost a misty greyish color rather than flectarn camo, so 2 out of 3 ain't too bad I guess. I'll probably have to order me a better pair as the lush greenery starts to sprout outside again. Till then, it'll do just fine.
I'll have to get some better pictures tomorrow, the ones Ballista took turned out a little bit too dark. *shrugs*
