For me, the helmet isn't so much about head protection as for the realism of the game. There's only so close we can obviously get to real combat with airsoft, but every little bit of the game counts if someone is looking for realism.

Some people go to great extent and expense to have 100% real-world loadouts and accurate uniforms to replicate the combat units of their choice. As part of that, some people choose to wear helmets to replicate that look. In my case, I've chosen the CF soldier and part of their combat loadout is the helmet. So I wear it as part of my loadout.

Yeah, I don't believe in spending hundreds for all issue stuff, but I will get something issue here and there.

PS-I have no problem with someone get all issued stuff, I'm just talking about myself.

I'll tell ya what...sweat your balls off for a day and soak through the shirt and vest and then you'll be having fun

I can't wait to get out there with my gear and just have fun.

Update: I just picked up a pair of Cadpat gloves and another mag pouch.

Couldn't really tell with all the shit hanging off it. Looks good regardless, though I'd still look into upgrading.

warbird · July 6th, 2008, 22:29

Yeah, it's pretty heavy, and old...lol. I'm still not sure if I want to blow 150$ on a helmet though, when I can maybe get a MICH(replica) with a Cadpat cover. Keep in mind, University is coming up very, very fast for me. I kinda picked a wrong time to get into the sport...lol. I don't even have a good gun yet, so I'd prefer not to get expensive gear now. Maybe later.

Anyways, thanks for the comments.

A helmet isn't necessary. It's just a matter of preference, really. And like you said, a MICH replica with CADPAT cover will fill the role quite nicely without breaking the bank.

warbird · July 7th, 2008, 18:02

Yeah, I've got to use my money wisely.

Me in my Gear... Summer 2004,

Me with no sleep for 38hrs, and about to go out on a live fire-X.

JoWade · July 15th, 2008, 00:59

38 hrs then a live-fire ... Not bad.

That was your QL3?

Neg. that was just a reg Ex. The best one that I'v ever been on but just a Ex. At that point in time I had just finished my BMQ and SQ about 4 days prior, then they shipped us out to Pet. It was a long summer without seeing my Fam and friends, and the bad part was that our bus on the way home got into a wreck.. Talk about a bus of pissed off troops. LOL

warbird · July 19th, 2008, 16:20

I was actually thinking of switching, would be cheaper too...lol.
I also just bought a Cadpat hydration pack from CPgear. Very nice, and well built.

Yeah, but my gun isn't worth much...I'm hoping on getting an M4 and turning it into a cheap C8 version.

I can't wait till next year. Damn! It's gonna be fun.
