stewpidbear Posted December 29, 2011 Report Share Posted December 29, 2011 After thinning down the pads (their made of 3 layers of foam, I cut them down with a scalpal to roughly 1 1/2 layers) it fits me perfectly and I usually take a large to xlarge mich. The straps after the pad thinning also fitted as well. Overall very impressed considering the money. Quote Link to post Share on other sites
Megalomaniac Posted December 29, 2011 Report Share Posted December 29, 2011 Nice, good news at least for once I'm not worried that a bit of kit will be too big to fit me. Quote Link to post Share on other sites
Hartmann Posted December 30, 2011 Report Share Posted December 30, 2011 So none of you guys have problems with the size? No shop states that it is the M/L version, so they can sell more. I am PO'd big time since everywhere it is "one size" but TMC seems to have a L/XL version too. Being fooled sucks. Quote Link to post Share on other sites
stewpidbear Posted December 30, 2011 Report Share Posted December 30, 2011 To be honest very few suppliers state helmet sizes. Although on the packing for the helmet there is a tick box for different sizes there probably only everwill be one size fits all. As said after some modding mine fits fine and I take a large size if I can find one. Quote Link to post Share on other sites
TheFull9 Posted December 30, 2011 Report Share Posted December 30, 2011 Looking at that label, I get the feeling they've copied the real Ops-Core labels, or just used the same ones they produced for the clones of them. Colour options including AOR1, Multicam and bright red? Rings a bell. Â Could be wrong of course, they might well be making 2 different sizes and various other colours in the long run, we shall see.

Jimmypie Posted January 3, 2012 Report Share Posted January 3, 2012 My second AF turned up from JKARMY today, in a FAST box, all labeled up, the bubble wrap bag was the same as ebaybanneds but has a label with M/L and L/XL , this is the M/L, exactly the same as the ebaybanned one.

master_titled Posted January 3, 2012 Report Share Posted January 3, 2012 Picked up my Clye Percision Airflame from the PO today... The harness is super small! Â Same packaging, ordered from EBB. Quote Link to post Share on other sites
farrasdevell Posted January 3, 2012 Report Share Posted January 3, 2012 I think my 2nd should be arriving in the morning. Opscore Vas on order. Quote Link to post Share on other sites
master_titled Posted January 4, 2012 Report Share Posted January 4, 2012 Â Swapped out the harness for a Ops-Core L/XL H-harness and it fit's perfect now. Â I then, in turn, swapped the old harness to my Emerson FAST helmet's OCC-dial. Quote Link to post Share on other sites
frogfish Posted January 4, 2012 Report Share Posted January 4, 2012 Those airframes look tiny on you guys.... most people who bought the real one have to go for the L/XL so there is a bit more mushroom head going on there.... Quote Link to post Share on other sites
master_titled Posted January 4, 2012 Report Share Posted January 4, 2012 lol penis  I've tried on a real one, size large, and it was a good size to use with earpro. This doesn't work with my Lib II's. Quote Link to post Share on other sites
intinerious Posted January 4, 2012 Report Share Posted January 4, 2012 I gotta say, these Crye Airframes are not limited editions. I went to Kwong Wah Street today and there were at least 2 shops carrying the helmet; Shooter Gear and Guns & Vests. Both were sold at a reasonable price of $298 and $280 (HK dollars btw) respectively. I guess EBB are being *rickrolls* in order to get a massive pre-order overseas from you guys... Â They are about HKD 100 more expensive than the FAST helmet clones I've seen and the shells are about twice as thick as the FAST clones from what I remember. Actually the Airframe clones have a thicker shell than the real Base JUMP helmets I've seen in the Magpul Steel shop today. Â Overall construction from my brief experience (I didn't buy one since I just got myself a Flyye Wasatch for a very discounted price ) is very good considering I've seen a FAST replica having a cracked shell from the front side of the helmet to one of the holes on top of the helmet. The velco holding the padding in place comes loose very easily; it feels like the guys in the factory just licked the back of the velco and stuck it inside the helmet But I think with a dab of superglue the velco should hold in place. The padding is also very nice and for the slight premium over the FAST clone I'd say the Crye Airframe clone is very, very good for the price. I won't be surprised if they were sold for twice the retail price (~HKD 500) and they still have people buying them. Â However, one good thing is that I don't see a lot of people rushing to get these in HK. Perhaps not a lot of people know what the Airframe is. Before I went to Kwong Wah Street today I was expecting it to be sold out but I'm happy it's not Quote Link to post Share on other sites
Megalomaniac Posted January 5, 2012 Report Share Posted January 5, 2012 Anyone stateside get theres from EBB yet? They shipped it on the 24th and it left HK on the 28th and no status updates through USPS or HKP Quote Link to post Share on other sites

SteevoLS Posted January 5, 2012 Report Share Posted January 5, 2012 I got mine from EBB something like 7 business days after it was posted. Quote Link to post Share on other sites
frogfish Posted January 5, 2012 Report Share Posted January 5, 2012 I don't know what's up with them but shipping ranges wildly I've gotten stuff in three days on free shipping and smaller bag of sling keepers I ordered arrived after a month. Â The Base Jump shell is extremely thin, comparing it to anything other than a skate helmet isn't a fair comparison. My Airframe has a thicker shell than the FAST Ballistic I owned, but it (the airframe) is also noticeably lighter. Â It's not a very popular helmet design, most people I know like the weight and the comfort, but hate that it looks like something out of a Sci-Fi comic. Quote Link to post Share on other sites
druid799 Posted January 5, 2012 Report Share Posted January 5, 2012 heres mine , crye "type" mount from ebay and a mich2001 cover from ebaybanned . cover was too tight over the mount so i had to mount it over the cover ; Quote Link to post Share on other sites
TheFull9 Posted January 5, 2012 Report Share Posted January 5, 2012 Did the mount go on alright? I'm going to install one but I'm never likely to mount any sort of NV to it so I could use a cheap option. Quote Link to post Share on other sites
druid799 Posted January 5, 2012 Report Share Posted January 5, 2012 (edited) piece of p**s mate no problems at all , the three holes in the mount have bit of play in them so the screws mated up nicely . got it from here ; http://www.ebay.co.uk/itm/150719455166?ssPageName=STRK:MEWNX:IT&_trksid=p3984.m1497.l2649 Edited January 5, 2012 by druid799 Quote Link to post Share on other sites
TheFull9 Posted January 5, 2012 Report Share Posted January 5, 2012 Sorted, cheers mate.  Your cover's looking pretty decent there considering it's designed for an entirely different helmet, good option for those who don't fancy paying nearly £50 for the Crye.

druid799 Posted January 5, 2012 Report Share Posted January 5, 2012 Cheers , trimmed a strip about an inch wide by about 6 long off the sides , stuck some sticky backed Velcro inside for the straps to attach too pulled it all in nice and tight behind the rails and mount then tightened them all up and job done ! . No way I'd get a real crye cover at that price , stick with HKs finest ! Quote Link to post Share on other sites
RIOT1980 Posted January 5, 2012 Report Share Posted January 5, 2012 (edited) Does someone knows somewhat closer of the L2G05 Mount for the PVS15 and the mounts for the helmets...?

Megalomaniac Posted January 9, 2012 Report Share Posted January 9, 2012 I'm really disappointed in mine, I think I'm the first to say, its too big, unless I just don't know how to adjust it. I cant get it to stop from rotating on my head like its just too big. Quote Link to post Share on other sites
master_titled Posted January 9, 2012 Report Share Posted January 9, 2012 Probably need better pads. The ones that came with them suck. Quote Link to post Share on other sites
Scuffer Posted January 9, 2012 Author Report Share Posted January 9, 2012 I'm really disappointed in mine, I think I'm the first to say, its too big, unless I just don't know how to adjust it. I cant get it to stop from rotating on my head like its just too big. Yup, I think you're the only person i've seen say it's too big :s  Deffo go with M_T's suggestion, new pads and maybe a new, real deal retention system. I'm sure with them you will be able to correctly adjust it and prevent any movement. Quote Link to post Share on other sites
