Fast Helmet coming this Summer

[Conker]

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$

?

[Conker]

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:


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.

Hmm... any news? Price and ETA?

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

[Conker]

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

I kinda want one....

[Conker]

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