Will you get more premium versions of the FAST helmet in TAN?

Received mine in an order today, a black 'carbon' version. Intended to use it for both mountain-biking, and airsoft. Overall quality build of the helmet, i'd rate at just 'satisfactory' .. but i do have high standards - typical cheap b*stard..
I would strongly suggest to anyone considering purchasing one, with a melon that is on a largish size, to either wait until a buddy has one and try it on, or go in-person to Huang's outlet and try one on for fit when he's open Saturdays. Apparently i'm a deformed mutant, the way this is fitting - it definitely is fitted for a M-L 'Asian' head - and not my Caucasian gourd. I can get it on, but have to remove the two upper-most pads on the inside to join the chin-strap together with them adjusted out to their max - and even then, i better not contemplate opening my mouth *ever* while it is on (my team-mates might be thankful..). I've got some heavy duty re-sewing/re-working of the straps, and possibly the inner liner itself to do over the winter, to make it satisfactory. In comparison, i've got a cheapo $40.00 replica 'costume' PASGT helmet that fits much better than the FAST, as it currently stands. Additionally - no way in heck is a ComtacII PTT replica set sourced from his site going to fit on under the helmet, in/around the straps, the way it fits - as i read someone on the forum on a thread that i can't find now, advising on the fit compatibility of the ComtacII's to the FAST helmet. I'll be doing a mod mentioned in this thread to mount the speaker direct to the rail as shown here: http://airsoftcanada.com/showthread.php?t=132671 At least this will keep me busy with something to do in the coming dark and cold winter...

I found the same thing I do love the helmet, but the straps to the back of the helmet are to short for my head. I contacted Ops-core and purchased a new M/L retention system with an XL chinstrap ($70) and also ordered a pad kit ($40) as well. Hopefully, all this stuff will fit in the helmet. Delivery date not until new year, but will let you know how it works. If all works out I will put the replica retention and pad set up for sale for anyone who might want them.
Perhaps I should have just bought an Ops-core base, but I wanted the balistic look.

Anyone have any photos of these replicas next to other gear in same lighting conditions? Would like to see how the tan looks next to some CB/CT gears.

So my package of genuine fast helmet parts arrived from Ops-core on Friday and everything fit perfectly on the clone. A nice thing is the pad kit included a variety of different thickness pads so between the new pads and the longer straps the helmet is a much better fit. I think if I were to buy a real fast helmet I would purchase the LG/XL helmet, I think it would be a better fit for my large melon, as it stands I have the dial set to just about as large as it will go and the helmet is snug with a little room for adjustment. Maybe Huang could convince the supplier to make the larger helmet for our North American sized frames.

So, a few days spent disassembling and reworking one side of the headphones, and using a spare mount from the Surefire clone that i had received in the same order, and now i've got what i needed. I left the mount itself unpainted until i took the photo's.. black on black doesn't show up all that well. It fits my 'headspace' perfectly well, with some adjustability built in. The whole headphone speaker setup quick-removes by simply loosening the two hex head bolts securing the Surefire adapter mount to the rail, when comms aren't needed.

I assume it's the southpaws that prefer the right-hand mic setup so it doesn't interfere with cheek-weld?
