The HGU-56P was not a heavy helmet but if they found a way to reduce the weight by 24% this thing must be light. Just for TF160th guys for now... It will be nice to have peripheral vision back and not look like Darth Helmet from Spaceballs! Goggle still weigh a ton, though. I still used a weight bag for years (making it worse) as it felt like tightening the nape strap method instead just made the helmet super uncomfortable (like squeezig my head all flight). I know there's a new set of NVG's that's lighter but don't think the military is using them: Anyone former USMC that got to use the TopOwl helmets? Would imagine it's fairly heavy. |

Not a bad looking helmet. The weight reduction will help a lot. |

Got yer attention! Why is everybody so tribal anymore? If you don't like the looks of it either don't sign up for service or just don't purchase one. It's like a kindergarden on here. Personally I don't give a hoot what it looks like, if it's quiet and has good communications component and weighs nothing what's not to like (price be my guess) I had an old SPH4, yes 4, that weighed a ton, probably have neck issues because of it (well, because of the FS/DOI requiring it!!) doing slingwork with a headset is a lot less tiring on the old neck, nevermind cooler in the summer. |
