Dirty,
Are you talking about the NFTC helmet or the one the guys are wearing on the Hornet Sqns? If fitted properly, which mine is, I don't have too much of a problem with it (NFTC). However, it did take me quite a number of trips to the helmet shop to get it just right. Seems the parts bought now are much more generic or one size fits all in an attempt to reduce costs! Typical!! As I flew with British kit for the past five years in Saudi I will say noise reduction is better with the UK helmet but it was far too heavy.
Hueymeister,
Kneepads? Do you spend alot of time on your knees
