A lot of SSD readers like to ski and snowboard and a lot more are Oakley fans. At SIA, Oakley unveiled their entry into the snow sports helmet arena. Under development for three years, the Mod 3 and Mod 5 helmets incorporate a modular brim system so the wearer can choose the correct interface ti get a tight seal between helmet and goggle. Additionally, the chinstrap is magnetic, the liner is removable and it’s got a BOA fit system.
Passing this along for ARG Tactical.
ARG Tactical is coming out with a new helmet line. We are running a contest to give this new high cut helmet a name. If your name is selected, you will receive a new helmet in the color of your choice with rails, carbon fiber filled shroud, upgraded 4D Tactical Zero G Helmet Liner and the new Boa dial system. When submitting your entry, please do so via email so it is private. We don’t want anybody using the same name. Enter your name and reason behind the name to:
The helmet will be NIJ IIIA certified and will pass US MIL STD 662F for V50 fragmentation. Looking forward to all the entries.
Once a name is chosen, we will put out pictures of the kit and name the winner publicly.
Note to SSD Readers: Don’t post here.
I had a chance to catch up with Orion Design Group. They gave me a peek at a couple of new items in their Lupus camouflage pattern.
In addition to this Lupus helmet cover for the Crye Precision AirFrame helmet, they’ve got a MOLLE Chassis for the S&S Precision PlateFrame.
TNVC is hosting MTEK, makers of the Flux helmet. This NIJ IIIA features an undercut rear lip. Additionally, that’s an M-LOK compatible rail which also accepts O2 masks. The helmet is boltless, meaning no bolts protrude through the .186″ shell. Yep, that’s the thickness of a carbon fiber shell, but it’s ballistic. It also weighs just 2.2 lbs.
There are a whole slew of innovations surrounding this helmet so check their site out.
The Exfil SAR Visor installs on the rails of the SAR Tactical and SAR Backcountry. It is rated to both EN 166-2B and ANSI Z87.1 to protect your eyes from wind, debris and water.
Make sure you stop by booth #8111 to enter a chance to win the Ops-Core Tactical Hydration Counterweight System.
You’ll win the helmet, THC and beverages. The drawing will be at the end of the show.
How about a stock Grey shade for your Ops-Core helmets? It looks like it’s going to happen.
