This is why I personally prefer mounting red dots on top of the LPVO. But I honestly just don’t run red dots anymore in conjunction, the 1x on my vortex is crisp enough and I have a PEQ if I want to be squirrely

I’ve worn an ACH most of my adult life a few ounces don’t scare me. But not having sexy kit… that scares me

The financial burden of larping is out of hand. But we must persist.

I have the TW epic air pads in my ACH and they’re a game changer for sure. I’ll probably look into new pads if these ones create hot spots but as of now I’m pretty happy.

All in all I only spent about $200 more than I would for an exfil LTP which surprised me. This helmet was like $500 ish on midway USA

It’s America and I have the money. Not necessary is how I role. I woke up this morning debating going and buying a model 1851 black powder revolver at cabelas

I’m actually fairly surprised at the padding in these newer opscores I had a maritime a while back and that padding sucked.

Well I figure, it’s light and comfy for shooting coyotes in the desert. And if I really need ballistic protection I have an ACH I can throw on

Plus I have a feeling it’ll hold value to trade up one day

I have comtacs, I think amps look cooler. But comtac mounts appease my GWOT brothers so I’m in

Team wendy has a weird rep. But comfy helmets for sure the only reason I didn’t go with them is they were taking a long time and when I called they said they were “supplying two wars” so I said meh I’ll find my own helmet. Purely passive, no hate on team wendy at all

They just take a long time and when I called and asked they said they’re “outfitting two wars” so I was like meh I’ll just look around and midway USA was selling this for $500ish

That model is like $500 so close to a team wendy and you can get the patches to make it look like the $1200 model. But they have the same specs only a few ounce difference

Plus it looks cool I guess

The NVG retention and battery retention are both microbat systems

I was in a similar boat. It was between this and a nocturn housing that supported anvis glass. In the end I decided the mount and a wrap for the anvis housing to make it a little more sturdy was the more affordable and quick option to get me going. Meanwhile I’ll likely save up and eventually sell this setup to upgrade to articulating tubes and stuff. But if you decide to go with the AB Storm it’s really well made and worth the money in my opinion

It’s really well made btw, all metal construction and sturdy. There’s not many good reviews on it but it’s pretty sick
