Hello There.……
Well lets see, because I don’t know where to begin? Should I begin with I have redesigned the entire helmet shell, lightened the makeup of it and use a “fluidic/dynamic truama reduction” insert I created, because of the instant the IED’s started up, the TBI *Traumatic Brain Injury situation skyrocketed. The fluidic system is “double duty system.” Not only does it protect, but it cools the head as well.
I’m a little surprised at Christian not mentioning me on this one? Maybe I didn’t show it to him years ago???? I think I did.
Best, Dave

I’ve worn the PASGT regular, and it was absolutely horrible.

very interesting stuff, I never really thought there was that much research and technology put into creating superior helmets, or trying to create superior helmets. The more they protect the troops the better.

Years ago I saw a helmet/shoulder pad combo being offered to the NFL (after a couple of infamous hits caused death/paralysis) and thought it would be a better alternative. The helmet/pads are one piece of hard material, with the helm not actually touching the head. The wearer wears padding on his head like an old time leather football helmet. It’s easier on the neck, there are some drawbacks to visibility but those could be easily overcome.

About Russian helmets,some of them look realy huge ‚but that is for a reason that much off Russia get harsh winters and these helmets are worn over the thick garmentso have to be a bit bigger ‚the other thing is that as they cant afford much the gear is made more robust and primitive ‚some helmets are titanium instead of kevlar so they last couple of times longer.
And about special forces you have to know that airborne troops are regarded as special forces in most armys,and russians have a lot of those and many of their so called special forces are more commando type than SAS and comando forces are allways much bigger in size.Some of these even have tanks.And russia is even more complicated in terms of Airforces , they have airforce for every branch army,navy,airforce and then some i think its like 5–6 airforces.

the striking thing about all the US army development is that they all ways find some imposible goals to make certain nothing changes ‚you know modern helmets don’t last even 5 years(material degradation specified by manufacturer),So you have chance to have every new batch updated even if its just 10–20% ‚but no some guy sets a standard that even the best can’t reach so until they do the keep buying the inferior stuff.Same with guns US army wants any new gun 100% or even 110% more effective than M16/M4 so anything that is just 50–70% better is not good so continue buying M4 ‚that is what politics and lobbyist get you expensive and inferior gear
