Fast SF finally came in (4 month wait), got everything moved over from the maritime, so now my brother gets a late Christmas/early birthday present of the maritime. I tried to like the OCC dial, but ended up changing it out for an h-nape chinstrap. It just fits my noggin right, I guess.

Similar profile to the H-Nape, and a little bit more low-profile for adjustment, but you can keep the fit band. The H-Nape was a huge improvement over standard ACH suspensions, but at this point I almost can't go back to non-fit band suspensions. Helmet mounted comms help with stability, but I spend a lot of time in situations where helmets are required, but comms and sometimes even hearing protection is not with a lot of heat and humidity, so it's nice to be able to roll with a high cut and have it be perfectly stable without even having the chinstrap buckled. Seriously, if you're wearing an XL and you get the Worm Dial and don't like it, I'll buy it back from you at retail. ![]() ~Augee |

With the right sized pads (in my case, a mix of 1/2" and 3/4") the helmet fits snug as a bug. These days, I've got a beard, and I buckle the chinstrap under my chin instead of being over it, so I don't really feel it as much. Plus, I'm in Alaska, so I don't deal with heat and humidity very much. ![]() |

Finally have what I think is a good first setup.I welcome any constructive criticism.

@Evintos
Gorgeous setup 👍 How do you like the Caiman? I just ordered one today, like to hear what someone actually using one thinks of it. |
|
|
Wow, thanks for all the info and for answering my question! 👍 Good to get some feedback on the AMP too -- I have one of those on order, should be here next month. Couldn't decide between the Caiman or an Ops Core, so in typical arf fashion I got both (carbon versions)
![]() ![]() Was also cool to get a closer look at the applique. I don't plan on ever getting it; if I need a ballistic helmet, I'll just use my Revision mid cut. Still, I was curious how the whole thing interfaced and what the coverage looked like. Thanks again for all the info! |

View Quote The AMP is without a doubt the best headset I've used, and I previously owned both MSA Sordins and Peltor Comtac IIIs. I've used the AMP on machine gun ranges and artillery firing points. NFMI ear plugs seem weird just playing around but they are the absolute coolest thing when things get loud. Wearing regular plugs under the Peltors was workable but sounded like wearing ear plugs on the range, nearby voices and radio calls were muffled. With the NFMI plugs it sounds like you're listening to the world through ear buds even when there are loud things happening around you. |

I was going to place an order with Ops-Core last night but it appears the MT is no longer available and the SF was $1900. Even with the discount, it was more than what I has previously paid for MT helmets in the past.

Took 4 months. I already had a maritime at the time, the SF was mostly to make the maritime a hand-me-down to my brother, so the wait didn’t bother me at all. I just treated it like an NFA item - ie pay the price and forget about it until you get reminded by a shipping notification. Interestingly, I ordered another ops core helmet for my wife also directly through Gentex, about 2-3 days later, and it showed up about a month or so before the SF. |

I originally chopped my large ACH because ear muffs are uncomfortable. Recently got a surplus extra large ACH that fits much better with ear muffs. Decided to deck it out and make it my primary. Now I can pull a pod off my mod 3 and do nods stuff with a friend if I had friends!
