With warmer weather comes the swap back to the carbon helmet until the ballistic's needed again. Been really digging the Thyrm VariArc mount for the x300v for being able to point it any which way.

I also ordered everything separate from the helmet, because I figured the helmet would take longer. |

Have a Carbon on a separate order. Your order sounds just like mine lol - NFMI Tan AMP, earplugs, arms, and multicam wrap. I'll touch base with OC and see if they have an update 🤔 |

Weird pressure points? Or what issues are you finding? The RAC arms doesn’t provide enough compression and the ball pivot allows the edge closest to the temple to open up. The housing of the NFMI ear plugs are so large and dig into the bone structure, giving you a massive headache. Sound quality isn’t all that enhanced with the plugs in either. I’m even using Smith Boogie eye pro to alleviate compromising the cups to seal. |

I have my AMP mounted to an Ops-core Maritime and haven't had any issues with fit. I will admit however that the NFMI plugs are a bit big. If I don't have them in just right they push against the cartilage in my ear and get to be painful after a while. If I get them settled in just right its not an issue. |

For those of you running Peltor Comtac III ear pro, did you buy a version with a standard metal headband and somehow remove those parts to attach to your helmet? It seems like some Peltor models are also available without the whole headband assembly, but seem rarer.

View Quote In addition to the poster above me, you can also find the version that comes with the peltor adaptors. I got these cause they come black anno'd instead of chrome wire. I just take off the old headband and keep it in case I need to make them head mounted again(which may happen if I break down and buy the AMP) I just don't have a radio that connects to the downleads yet. |

I could never get used to those sidewinders. Useful admin lights for a plate carrier for sure, but I've never mounted one to my helmet and never plan to. I'd rather just stick with Princeton Tec.
