tomster Posted June 10, 2010 Report Share Posted June 10, 2010 Isaac, wow that looks amazing. It's unlike anything I've seen before! Super HSLD. NICE! Quote Link to post Share on other sites
Grantfallen Posted June 10, 2010 Report Share Posted June 10, 2010 That really is a work of art. How much abuse does the water transfer hold up to, I have no idea how easily that would be scratched or if it would peel off, but to be honest I think once it's had a bit of wear and tear to it the helmet will look even better. I've never seen the V lights before, I need to check those out. That's the best helmet I've seen in a long time. Cheeers Quote Link to post Share on other sites
Titleist Posted June 10, 2010 Report Share Posted June 10, 2010 Thanks guys. It's very durable. I mean it'll scratch if whacked against stuff, but I put velcro down in the wrong spot and I was worrying that peeling it off would rip the surface, but it didn't. It's got an automotive grade clear coat (matte) on it. The V-Lites are purely for safety. When I shoot night matches with other shooters its so they can see my head position (I wear colored chem lights on my plate carrier so they know where I am down range as I don't want to catch a 5.56 or 7.62 in the back). The middle V-Lite is an IR version. Works like a simpler version of the MS2000. Pretty awesome lights. I'm really happy with it came out. I don't think there's anything I could or should add to it.

tomster Posted June 12, 2010 Report Share Posted June 12, 2010 Lovely helmet buzz! I like the mike lite! Where did you get it? Quote Link to post Share on other sites
buzzsaw Posted June 12, 2010 Report Share Posted June 12, 2010 Thanks, I like most of your gear... The light is just a standard Petzl Tikka I think...naughty me for not using one with red filters! Quote Link to post Share on other sites
tomster Posted June 12, 2010 Report Share Posted June 12, 2010 Thank you too! But I meant the mike lite under the microphone of your libs. Quote Link to post Share on other sites
buzzsaw Posted June 12, 2010 Report Share Posted June 12, 2010 My bad, I didn't read your first post properly. I have NO idea about the mike light. It came with them when I bought them! It isn't very bright though, so I can't see the point personally, but it looks cool! Quote Link to post Share on other sites

Titleist Posted June 12, 2010 Report Share Posted June 12, 2010 It's designed for pilots to provide a low level of ambient light for reading maps and other information. On a combat helmet, probably not so much. Rangers used them for a short time before the SF Helmet lights became available. Quote Link to post Share on other sites

binarypunisher Posted June 15, 2010 Report Share Posted June 15, 2010 They also make IR versions of them to interface with NVGs. They are called "mic lights" or "lip lights" because they are designed to sit on your mic and be activated with your lip...when you are flying at 1000 mph you probably dont want to be fiddling with a handlight.

greensta Posted June 30, 2010 Report Share Posted June 30, 2010 So after a long time i finally got my helmet sorted out. These were just quick snaps so i didnt add the surefire helmet light for the pics. My idea for this helmet was to copy (with some artistic licence) the helmets worn by SF in the germany snow pictures seen on milphotos.net. i still need to sort out the wires as the LPBP wire is really long (currently rubber band held). comments welcome.

Fatal Posted July 1, 2010 Report Share Posted July 1, 2010 Why don't you flip the battery pack upside down and run the wire inside the helmet? Quote Link to post Share on other sites
tomster Posted July 1, 2010 Report Share Posted July 1, 2010 My wires are bunched up under the goggle retention straps. Quote Link to post Share on other sites
Luis21 Posted July 1, 2010 Report Share Posted July 1, 2010 Very Nice!!! Real MS-2000? -Luis Quote Link to post Share on other sites
greensta Posted July 1, 2010 Report Share Posted July 1, 2010 @FATAL i would run the wire under neath but my headsets makes the helmet sit tight, and that is with it dremelled and filed down inside; so i think the wires would just add to the problem. @TOMSTER looks great dude.

tomster Posted July 2, 2010 Report Share Posted July 2, 2010 Thanks, yeah real, the MICH is repro unfortunately. Quote Link to post Share on other sites
Pkekyo-Nor Posted July 2, 2010 Report Share Posted July 2, 2010 The MICH for my 75th Ranger Rgt. impression just stepped it up a notch. Just need the actual mount now. Oh, and I have a resin ANVIS set incoming Quote Link to post Share on other sites
Grantfallen Posted July 2, 2010 Report Share Posted July 2, 2010 Where did you get the ANVIS set from? I'd be very interested to see the set and see how good it looks. I know that if it was boss then it would be yet another addition to my wants list. Quote Link to post Share on other sites
