The fellow who owns the company is Israeli. The only part that really looks cheap is the suspension system. Not to hijack too much, but are these made off-shore? I have never heard of these and they seem somewhat "too good to be true". I have only used mine for light mounting so far. CSM Tactical makes a rail that I believe fits the 2001 cut helmets.Īs for utility of the rails they give you more options is all. The hole spacing for the suspension is different. Ops Core ARC rails will not fit onto a 2001. although the build-your-own ACH from OwnTheNight is tempting.Īs an aside, but are the side rails worth adding to say a MICH 2001? For those that have the OPS-Core, are you using those a lot? I still might get the FAST just for the cool guy factor. They're imported, and while the suspension system looks pretty good to me, it's not backward compatible with any of the others, so I'll pony up to the BAE models (also likely imported, but from Europe not Asia) if I'm going that route.Īs awesome as the accessories for the ARC rails look, the only ones I can really justify are lights (map reading), signalling devices, and maybe a camera (but that can interfere with NVG's anyway). The Kejo, as I understand, is HDPE, not kevlar. I'll rely on clip attached light (either my SF Helmet light, or the PrincetonTec MLPS and S&S IR V-Lite), so the simpler helmet (though OPS suspension and probably the older cruder PVS mounting hardware) is what I'm looking at. Without a need to run a camera (would just drop a GoPro on the front plate if needed) on the side, the ARC kits don't seem as necessary to me.
The pads aren't there as much for comfort as they are to minimize the G loading when something impacts the helmet (less brain damage). Those pads felt hard at first - dunk them in chlorinated water for a week, do a few months of workup and then go patrolling for a few months and the pads are already feeling soft - different applications, but the newer pads are generally better. I've budgeted myself around $2k for my armor suite, but I'm trying to get a handle on what the real price difference between these would be, and what performance difference I might expect to see (considering I'm already accustomed to the LWH weight and feel, and am not dissatisfied with that) The cut 2001 ACH is probably a lot closer in weight to the OPS-Core, and I already have the NVG mounting hardware for that (would just replace the padding and suspension with OPS-core and TW parts), so that's why it's such an attractive option. I'm pretty sure my low-speed unit wouldn't approve the FAST, otherwise it would be a non-decision for me as well. Well, my work LWH isn't really that bad, and for how little I think I'll really use the helmet in a sustained fashion, the ACH still looks like an attractive option. Yesterday I got a chance to see the new Brit issued helmet. Thus, the ACH may be more of an issue for those who rarely use one. Most people back home don't wear a helmet enough on a daily basis to get used to it. Weight is the issue with me, especially when wearing a helmet for long periods of time.
