A reporter asked Gordie Howe "Why is it that you don't wear a helmet yet you wear a cup"?
He replied"Ma am you can always get someone to do the thinking for you"!
Lol just thought I would add that.

I like escalators, because an escalator can never break; it can only become stairs. You would never see an "escalator temporarily out of order" sign, just "Escalator temporarily stairs... sorry for the convenience. We apologize for the fact that you can still get up there."

Two questions:
1. What's the shell made of?
2. Do you have a neck like a bull?

It's a PT Alpha Half Shell....made as a "bump" helmet for Mil and LEO.

I had it sprayed with bed liner.
All accessories are QD.....But I keep it set up as a rig for my NVDs.....way better than a "Skull Crusher" system.
I've been walking in the evenings to try to get back into some kind of shape other than round........it's working BTW.
But I usually go out around 9:30 or 10:00....and wear my NVDs.
I've logged about 100 hrs+ with this helmet....it's not bad.
The reason for the junk on the back....is for counter weight.....to help stop neck fatigue.
Running this set up in the front is the neck breaker....but I added a battery box to the back to balance....

Neighbor's wife: "Honey, call the cops. It's 10:00 and there's some guy out here with a helmet on."
Neighbor's husband looking out window: "Oh, that's just Echo2 out for a walk. Don't worry, his wife doesn't let him get too far way. She'll round him up pretty soon."
If I wore that I'd look like a turtle in about an hour.

The weird thing....When I go out....I have a bandolier holster with a custom MKIII 22 pistol.....a KBar LDK.....a Fenix 4Seven....and my helmet rig.
On the back of my helmet I have a red strobe going so cars can see me.....and when a car approaches me from the front....I pop on the Fenix angled downward.
I wear workout shorts and a tee shirt....mostly dark or neutral in color.....and my typical hiking boots.....and carry ID.
I have had 3 cops pass me on different occasions.....none have ever stopped......
I don't know if that is good or bad.....I'm leaning toward bad.
Nice set up Echo.
For urban areas, a helmet would be a great prep. Look at the Libyan riots from a couple yrs ago. People were tying all kinds of things on their heads due to the amount of rocks being thrown and tear gas canisters flying about.
Here's two Egyptian riot helmets. no joke.

I had a compass, but without a map, it's just a cool toy to show you where oceans and ice are.
I started this last week....

Dayum Echo, nice work. What do you use for suspension systems?

Velcro disc and a new Skydex pad system....I want the Ops Core ratchet chinstrap....but I have found one of the new Marine cross back strap type.
Nice helmet Echo. Make sure to post a pict when you get the suspension in. To me, suspension is very important. You don't want to wear the helmet if the suspension sucks.
I've taken a vow of poverty. To annoy me, send money.

How many batteries do you reckon you'll have to carry if something goes south?

I do not have a helmet, unless you count a couple bicycle helmets around the house. I do have a couple hard hats set aside, specifically in case of having to engage in a rescue after a disaster.
