Hey Guys.
I've recently gotten into the sport and am trying to learn as much as I can as fast as I can. However I find that asking is always easier than guessing or trying to hunt for ours online for a explanation that only half gets me what I need.
About 6 years ago a friend of mine got out of the Marine Core and gave me a whole bung of his stuff. Included and Interceptor (woodland), Marpat and Dessert Digies and some other random stuff. Most of my gear is currently OD to match the vest, but I'll be picking up a new Ciras in Coyote as it is a good crossover for all camo.
I have an older helmet which is made of Kevlar but is far to heavy and unnecessary for Air soft use. Besides that I'm looking to update my stuff some and really based most of my decisions on the type of gun I was lucky enough to pick up. I have new a VFC Scar-L. I know the marines don't use the scar so I have wanted to make a progression to a Multicam load out and uniform
With that, I think its time to update from the ancient helmet I got from him back in 2001.
I've gone on all the sites and seen many different prices. I see a lot of terminology and styles but I hate to admit I'm still clueless. Obviously I am all about safety and with most new designs I missing ear protection. But i see that offset with a set of headphones which I do admit is nice looking.
To the point. I started this thread to see if you guys could not only explain why and how the new helmets have what they have but also help me decide and take a route towards one or another. I guess a good list of why you use what you use would help. Also remember that I would like to be able to use it as a crossover since some days I may still use some of my older stuff.
Thanks
Alex
