Nice. Will definately get one.

Definitely worth waiting for, especially if the suspension systems exactly matches the real one.

do you know the approximate price on these yet?

Coooool

Jesus Christ that's about time, they were announced on taiwanese forums a year and a half ago.

not in those colors I hope lol

But I like the pretty colours...

.

BAH! I'll keep my MICH in Multicam (for now....hmmmm, I am such a multicam whore :( )

Will they have an OCC dial style liner?

You're just a whore, period.

Awesome

very cool indeed. would like to see the real pics when availible

Nice! Do we have an accurate-ish ETA and price estimate? I know you said june, but in case it changed or anything.

Also which colours will it be available? I hope this one will be...
http://static.guim.co.uk/sys-images/...uate-a-011.jpg
Basically the original shade of tan which was almost grey-ish, but with the CB velcro.


AND with color-matched bungee cord.

horrible colors

I hate it when I ditch an impression since I can't find the helmet and literaly 6 months after, ACM make one ^^

Those helmets look really good

That's what I'll be attacking at the end of the summer (MSOB will be done, and the car purchased)... if you want to make it a 2-man team let me know! :)

Hmmmmm. That could be an idea.

Pay it for me and I'm in :D

Meh, I'll stick with my real Ops-Core FAST Base-Jump instead. There's a reason why they cost as much as they do that no knock-off can hope to fully replicate. Though the replicant doesn't look all that bad considering, but I'll reserve my final judgement for when I can actually examine the suspension system and the materials used on the clone.

'Fly

(note: stock pictures shown, haven't taken a decent pic of my bucket yet but you get the idea anyway)

The Bump and the Ballistic are not the same thing. This is a clone of a Ballistic.

Yours is different (Vent holes, NVG mount that is casted in., etc)

Agreed.
I have one on the way (damn 8-10 week lead time)
Also I can use the Base-Jump as a bike helmet as well. Can't do that with the ACM

I never said they were the same thing. I simply stated that if given the choice, I'd go with the Base Jump instead, and that's what I ended up doing. If you actually check the documentation from Ops-Core you will find that apart from the vent holes (nice to have), the materials and the molded-in NV mount vs. the VAS shroud, there's really no appreciable difference between their ballistic Bumps and their Base Jumps except for the (hysterical) price of course. What I was on about however was the likelihood that the clones will probably not be able to replicate the quality of the OEM retention/suspension system. That and the shell material of the clones will not likely be as robust as the OEM's either. However, from a purely cosmetic point of view, the history of Asian replica manufacturing indicates they will probably succeed quite admirably with it and for most airsofters, that's plenty good enough.

Caveat Emptor...


'Fly

+1 to what FlyGuy said.

Buy a real Ops-Core or just get a Protec.

I agree, but what's the price on it?

I'm an airsofter, not an operator. I won't bang my head jumping down of an helicopter or rappelling on the side of a building.

I have nothing against a Bump helmet and if I could afford one, I would take one anyday.

Gosh..

The Military Base-Jump is only 239$... not a bad price for an excellent piece of equipment

Better than I thought. The website I was looking was quoting it in the 500s.

Will it be possible just to get the strap. That would fix 90% of the issues I have with my helmet.

I'm a whore and most of my current gear is real. I do when I can.

But if I'm doing an impression, what I need is something that looks like the original... so no, the bump won't do it, and I'll still take the 60$ clone over the 250$+ bump. That being said, I may end up buying real straps and real pads for it.

That's what I mean. Keep the clone shell, and pimp it with the real steel stuff. It's available on their website IIRC

Ya probably for the FAST Bump (Carbon Shell)
the FAST Base-Jump has a polycarbonate shell

My take on it: if you want it to actually function with REAL kit, get the base jump. If you want it just for looks, no function, no NVG... get the replica.

Replica Norotos systems don't work with the kit, same thing goes for the VAS shroud, it will never be 100% to spec. I would never trust a 4000 dollar nvg system to a 10 dollar china mounting shroud/arm.

That's why.

So there's 3 versions?

Base-Jump 200$
Bump 500$
Ballistic 900$

?

Anyway if you have 4000$ for a PVS14, you probably have 200$ for the real arm ;)

4 versions, actually.
Ballistic (980$, without shroud),
Carbon (previously known as "Bump"; 593$ without NVG shroud),
Base Jump Military (239$, integrated shroud),
Base Jump Sport (203$, integrated shroud).

Besides the colors (red is only for the "Sport", the differences between the BJ-Mil and BJ-Sport are that the Sport is made overseas while the Mil is made in USA.

Also as we couldn't see it well in the other picture I posted:
http://www.ops-core.com/images/produ...T/FAST_BAL.jpg

Please tell your suppliers to make it the correct color with matching bungee... the one you've shown sucks.

The difference between the sport and mil versions of the Base-Jump is more than just where is manufactured.
The sport has an "under the chin" chinstrap, mil has the usual Chincup.
The sport does not come with the Mounting rails that the mil version does.
The sport doesn't have the bungees.
Also the sport only comes in Black, Red, Green and Tan. No Multicam or MARPAT versions.

Yep, however the vas shroud with a breakaway, you would want that to be spec also -which the base jump provides! :)

The suspension system in the prototype spy picture is from a real fast helmet. I was told the suspension system is very complicated to make . This is just a prototype. There will be bump and ballistic versions and different colors.

Suspension system will be the same as real one. Making is different for sure. There will be a couple of different version too, different material, different making, different prices for different group of people.

Shit, it's out already?

YouTube - Airsoft Night Op Review - Ops Core, ATACS, G&P Sentry, PVS 14, PEQ 2 & TAG Phalanx

Hmm... any news? Price and ETA?

Looks good on the video, but I'm on the verge on DIYing one... can't wait :(

I saw it advertised in Airsoft International magazine for 80 GBP at http://www.g1098supplies.com/ but it's not on the website yet.

Hmm....

I kinda want one....

Yeah it's been there for a couple months now. Still highly prefer the ballistic version.

SO do we have an ETA when these things will be available in canada... The GF has been wanting a combat helmet but does not like the fit of my IBH, so I figure i'll give these a try. If she likes it then I'll go for a real one. I ain't forkit for a real one if it's going to sit on the shelf

*edit*
Scratch that, looks like it does https://www.dingodogsairsoft.co.uk/s...%3Dlatch.mc%26


While it looks the part I wonder if the replica is going to have the good retention system. I have a real one and the dial band system is amazing. Best fitting helmet ever with it.

Any word on these babies, it's been quit some time since we've had an update?

I asked him in his sales thread;
Only answer is Price will be 130-150$

No ETAs, so I guess we'll have to wait

I think I'll get a mich instead

New release date is middle of Sept.

Well, was so long I bought a FAST Basejump.

Thanks for trying though.

Price? and colors?.......please

That doll is creepy as hell... something about those eyes man...

Anyway, how are the straps on this helmet?

I bought the IBH Helmet from your website last summer and it never feels like it's sitting properly on my head... always kind of feels like it's off to one side ever so slightly, like one side of the straps are just a little too long, and I can't quite compensate...

Or get the helmet to feel right.

says on his site for 65 or 75 bucks..

This airosft version is replica of the ballistic version fast helmet, not the base jump version.

The airsoft version comes with 2 sets of picatinny adaptor. The price is $115 - $120, 4 colors ,BK, OD, TAN, FG( which is the color shown above in the pictures ), multicam versino will be next month.

Two styles , one is the replica of the ballistic version and the other is the carbon version( a little bit cheaper $100 - $110 )

I will have the firs shipment this month, PM to pre-order one if you want it for sure( $5 cheaper for pre-order )

It's the eyelashes - mannequins with eyelashs are creepy, like women with unibrows. :rolleyes:

What are the sizings? One size fits most (guessing since you showed the front adjustment knob)?

Really liking the second one with the ventilation holes. More suitable for airsoft and especially on hotter days for cooling.

Is it going to be light weight material instead of fiberglass?

http://96.0.237.254/catalog/images/bk1.jpg

Ballistic version is 1KG, carbon version is 0.8KG, Size L

Did they change the pad's in it as well or they still the same from the other pic's? I have an IBH right now and the pad's are not the greatest. Whats the final E.T.A. on these?

Not that I'm a South Paw,but do you offer left handed ones?

(buckle on the right instead of left cheek)

Where can we order one?

From Huang. Check his website.

Hey guys,

Where do you buy the adapters and such for the side rails on those helmets?

Like goggles swivel clips, etc...

Thanks :)

Goggles, you can go with ESS.

For the FAST helmet, you can get quick release rail for the face guard.

As it is sad and it is joyful simultaneously!
Our team models division DEA FAST and very much there was no this helmet!

I rejoice because there was such tremendous replica of a helmet of which I dreamed so a long time
And it is sad because I have almost completed a replica of FAST Helmet...
Did it on the basis of IBH, planned to establish original chin strap Ops-Core X-Nap...
Some photo, IBH

And it is the first variant of Ballistic Helmet based on a Mich 2001:

But now I look forward occurrences on sale of this Replica! Looks is simply more tremendous!!!

The fast system you are referring to is not the same thing as we are discussing in this thread. Also judging from the photos of the G3C it appears to be designed to work with the MICH/ACH family of helmets and not the OPS-Core FAST Carbon/Ballistic/Bump family of helmets.

The rail systems are different. Revision has developed something similar to what you have shown for the MICH/ACH helmets.

The replica that is the topic of this conversation is based off the OPS_Core series.

and

http://www.ops-core.com/images/produ...T/FAST_BAL.jpg

Errr, I should've waited. I'm thinking of getting the Bump :p.

No. Those are the IBH and MICH2001. The FAST ain't there yet. Based on the UK price (where they call it the "LATCH", and whose reviews says it's crap), it should be around 150$.

Ballistic style $120, pre-order price is $110
Carbon style $115, pre-order price is $105

I will upload to my site tonight for pre-order. ETA is end of the month.

Hmmm.... the revision helmets looks more like a ballistic motorcycle helmet than a miltary helmet.

Like the carbon version. Is it really carbon?

I doubt it. carbon fiber isn't cheap!

It is NOT. I should say carbon style version and ballistic style version. Just put down the order to factory and they should ship in a week or so.

The helmets were uploaded to airsoftdepot.ca for pre-order.

Is large the only size?

YES, fits head circumference 56-62cm

Like everybody I'm very excited that these helmets are arriving. One quick question Huang, I did send you a PM to preorder a helmet should I also go to your website and preorder or is the PM to you enough? As well, there are a few accessories I want to get to go with the helmet should I order them now so I know they are put aside for when the helmet arrives?

any adjustment if your head is less than 56cm ?

On the real one the adjustment is done via the knob. This one looks to be the same so there is a limited amount of travel for adjustment and so you can not adjust tighter without somehow modifying the harness.

It would be nice to find if the knob can be modified to adjust to a medium and possible a small.

If it can not, then only peole with large heads can use it.

That may require modifications to the loops that holds the adjustment band the knob's attached to. If the loops are fixed to the helmet, then the knob will only let you tighten it as far as the loops will allow.

You may be better off fitting additional helmet pads to take in the slack (maybe the MICH pads, since the FAST pads are thinner than the MICH ones).

You guys do know it's asian sizing, and 56cm is pretty much a S/M in hats, and that's pretty a bit small.. If you wear New Era fitted caps, that's like a 7.

These helmets are going to look nice on the fields for sure.

Huang, do you know if dark earth will be available in the future?

I wear a 7 1/2 to 7 3/4 hat. I am wondering if someone can link me to this helmet in tan for purchase? Thanks

lazy people these days ;D

http://airsoftdepot.ca/catalog/produ...oducts_id=1045

I wonder how they cheek the weapon with this... jaw protector.

Huang, you want to bring in some serious order volume, get a company to copy the Crye Airframe Helmet;

http://www.2centtac.com/wp-content/u...3/IMG_0964.jpg

You Don't

the chops are for exposed top gunners in vehicles.. weapon is mounted..

Add-on for the Fast helmet. Do you guys like it?

+1 on the Crye Airframe

There was a discussion of making this. Allwin was planning to make it but gave it up. If the fast helmet sells well, the factory may consider the airframe as next project.

is there any chance of making a smaller size? yes this large size may be adjust to fit some smaller head but the helmet itself is still big and some of us would look like those guys from power rangers.

I am so lazy it is unreal. I would like to get a full seals loadout, have the money, just too lazy to even look around. If someone has spare time and wants to build me a very nice loadout for about 1200 -1500 send me all the links! :mrgreen:

Sure I can find those links for you for 1200$. But then you'd have to buy them yourself :P

PLEASE DO! I want to get a nice loadout going. Preferably tan colours. I do not need a gun though. But i want a sort of imitation of seals, or USMC. Just wanna up the cool factor. Already have Oakley assault gloves and Swat boots! lol...Help out an oober noob

Well send me 1200$ and I'll give you the list.
