TheFull9 Posted January 15, 2012 Report Share Posted January 15, 2012 Agree with that, it can look a bit small compared to older designs, but on the other hand this the only helmet I've ever worn that doesn't give me insane shroom'age. I look an utterly ridiculous in my issue mk6. Quote Link to post Share on other sites
druid799 Posted January 15, 2012 Report Share Posted January 15, 2012 I was one of the other two scurmishing with the bear and I concure , was realy comfortable to wear for nearly a whole day . Only ditch it so I could wear a bush hat as the sun had dropped lower on the horizon and wanted a bit of shade for the vision . Highly recommended it , if your in two minds over it .

johnc2k Posted January 17, 2012 Report Share Posted January 17, 2012 Anybody tried a real Crye helmet cover on it yet? Quote Link to post Share on other sites
TheFull9 Posted January 17, 2012 Report Share Posted January 17, 2012 I will be, though I'm pretty certain before I've even bought it that it's not going to work right out the box. It seems to make use of certain velcro attachment points inside the RS Airframe which aren't featured on the TMC version. Quote Link to post Share on other sites
sigma3 Posted January 17, 2012 Report Share Posted January 17, 2012 The cover comes with all the velcro you need, male and female. Got mine right here. I haven't fitted it yet but will let you know tonight/tomorrow! The only thing I'm worried about is sizing being off. Quote Link to post Share on other sites
TheFull9 Posted January 17, 2012 Report Share Posted January 17, 2012 Ah, well there we go, problem solved. Didn't expect the cover to come with the extras, though for the price I suppose I should've expected it really. Quote Link to post Share on other sites
stewpidbear Posted January 17, 2012 Report Share Posted January 17, 2012 In use! Â Â Had it on all day with no problems whats so ever. And as a bonus very easy to attach a lower face mask to. Â (With thanks to Russ at DV for the photo. Quote Link to post Share on other sites
sigma3 Posted January 18, 2012 Report Share Posted January 18, 2012 Affixing real-deal accessories to the TMC AirFrame. Â Here you are then... Â Â Â Medium-sized Crye helmet cover fits correctly and was a drop-in, no problems or modifications. It is a little on the tight side, however, so if you've modified your helmet to make it a bit larger (I think I saw a tip for doing that on here), then you might think about going for the Large. Can't really say how that would fit. Â Rail-based accessories feel a little more wobbly than I'd like. Ops-Core Picatinny rail piece fits well and I'm not too concerned with it, but the Ops-Core Contour mount is shakier than I expected and doesn't lock down very well. This could just be because of the tiny tab that was broken on it out of the box, and I intend to send it back for a replacement, but I'm not sure how much difference it should make. Not super impressed with the quality of that particular piece so far, although the adjustable angle is useful (and I've already done it here). Â The Ops-Core VAS shroud fits fine and everything else is as expected. Quote Link to post Share on other sites
master_titled Posted January 18, 2012 Report Share Posted January 18, 2012 FYI, they are supposed to be a little tight. I've played with a real CP Airframe and cover, both in large, and it was quite tight. Â It'll slack a little once it's broken in. Quote Link to post Share on other sites
TheFull9 Posted January 18, 2012 Report Share Posted January 18, 2012 Gucci lid sigma, good stuff. Do we reckon the RS rails themselves will go on alright? Quote Link to post Share on other sites
master_titled Posted January 18, 2012 Report Share Posted January 18, 2012 They do. Â My buddy's airframe with real rails: Quote Link to post Share on other sites
TheFull9 Posted January 18, 2012 Report Share Posted January 18, 2012 Sorted then, thanks m_t. Finally I can put something together worthy of the D&G'ness of the Helmet picture thread. Quote Link to post Share on other sites
Megalomaniac Posted January 21, 2012 Report Share Posted January 21, 2012 Nice thats on the list for mine, with the Skydex pads it fits my noggin much better, but for use with NODs I'd rather run a real occdial liner. Quote Link to post Share on other sites
kilo_64 Posted January 21, 2012 Report Share Posted January 21, 2012 (edited) Tried to cannabalize the ACH OCCDial liner onto the AF. Â IT DOES NOT FIT! Â Reason being is that the AF helmet wraps around the back of your neck head much lower than a ACH would so the dial itself has no clearance in the rear due to the shell.

validtumoralarm Posted January 23, 2012 Report Share Posted January 23, 2012 Just got mine from J.K Army today. Came wrapped in bubble wrap in a nice sturdy box. Everything seems to be of good quality, including the plastic, and straps, and the shell itself. I have three gripes. -The straps don't always stay in place when adjusted. I can loosen them if I work my jaw around hard enough. -The glue on the pads is awful, as has been noted. A few of the pads on mine were bouncing around the box when I opened it. -It sits pretty high on my head. Â The jury is still out on whether or not I like this. It certainly looks cool and I'm going to hang onto it at least until my VAS, Peltor ARC mounts, and Crye cover get here, but I may pick up an FMA FAST copy to decide which I like better.

Ballistic Tsunami Airsoft Posted January 26, 2012 Report Share Posted January 26, 2012 I ordered a clone Shroud on ebay and it fits well. About 20USD shipped and they had it in tan too. The seller was from China.  My setup so far, pics to come: - Helmet - ebairsoft Zsordins - TMC half mesh mask - unfortunately the mask doesn't allow me a full seal on my sordins  - JT Spectra paintball goggles (i wear glasses) - HD contour helmet cam mounted on top, mohawk style  It fits well with the zsordins but now its harder to aim down my mbus (iron sights). I really like iron sights too... Quote Link to post Share on other sites
Ballistic Tsunami Airsoft Posted March 28, 2012 Report Share Posted March 28, 2012 (edited) Helmet in action from 4:09 to 5:02. I wore both a-tacs and pmc uniforms in the video.  Headwear: - airframe of course - metal mesh half face mask - revision asian locusts goggles with rx inserts - hd contour velcro-ed to the top - Z tactical sordin headset   Edited March 28, 2012 by Ballistic Tsunami Airsoft Quote Link to post Share on other sites
