Agent47 Posted October 2, 2004 Report Share Posted October 2, 2004 Its...a baseball cap...on steroids...meh. Link to post Share on other sites
doc_newstead Posted October 2, 2004 Report Share Posted October 2, 2004 Not a bad idea. Baseball caps are often used by SF's for practicality (as are trainers; check out wannabe's site for proof ) Though to be fair, not *too* hard to make one yourself. I was shocked to see that you can baseball caps in DPM... Shouldn't they be cricket hats? Link to post Share on other sites
Crandall Posted October 3, 2004 Report Share Posted October 3, 2004 it just looks like a regular baseball cap thats camo. doesn't seem like anything id spend my money on. Link to post Share on other sites
Tripod Posted October 3, 2004 Report Share Posted October 3, 2004 crandall, they just put a plstic insert in it so that you don't have to worry about head shots. Nothing fancy really. Link to post Share on other sites

Brick Posted October 4, 2004 Report Share Posted October 4, 2004 These are not a new idea and have been around (yes in cammo versions as well as high vis versions) for around 30 years (first one I remember seeing was my dads when I was around 5, 28 years ago. Link to post Share on other sites

alark Posted October 4, 2004 Report Share Posted October 4, 2004 We also use these at work on New building sites, instead of the standard Hardhats which look dumb Still, might aswell wear a yogurt pot on your head cause they aint exactly very thick!!! *AL* Link to post Share on other sites
Arnie Posted October 5, 2004 Report Share Posted October 5, 2004 Got one of those new caps here with me now (thanks to Nigel at AirCombat). Not bad bits of kit. Whilst they aren't going to save your bonce from falling girders or i-beams they do afford quite a bit of protection from stuff like branches and projectiles. Obviously severe blunt trauma protection isn't what they are designed for, but for debris and the odd flying BB they will certainly help. The cap is slightly thicker than a normal cap as it has to contain the plastic skullcap on the inside. Link to post Share on other sites
rhino Posted October 5, 2004 Report Share Posted October 5, 2004 Does that mean there'll be a review on it? (always on the lookout for something useful) Link to post Share on other sites
Arnie Posted October 5, 2004 Report Share Posted October 5, 2004 Most certainly. I'm fresh out of much spare time this week, but I'll do my best. Some quick shots I've just taken of it: http://www.arniesairsoft.co.uk/reviews/air..._4013_small.jpg http://www.arniesairsoft.co.uk/reviews/air..._4014_small.jpg Link to post Share on other sites
Blackspot Posted October 6, 2004 Report Share Posted October 6, 2004 My friend has one made partially with steel mesh. It has good protection. Link to post Share on other sites
Pegasus 1 Posted October 8, 2004 Report Share Posted October 8, 2004 how comfortable are they though? and also is there a good chance that you will get very hot wearing one of these? Link to post Share on other sites
