Route the wire through the vent hole and between the pads and the shell. You can tape it in place if you want.

Nice set up!
Yeah a couple of my friends were like “wow $5K for that set up! Holy shit bro” I laughed and said that most guys spend double that. My set up is nice but still very much budget comparatively lol. |

He was the first first grader I’ve seen with an auto and could actually tell time. |

I watched the Garand Thumb video. It got me to thinking. I decided to experiment with some helmet scrim made from some cheap netting I had bought for Halloween decorations a few years back.
I’m not sure it’s going to stay, but I have a night hike with some guys this weekend and thought it see how bad it catches on stuff in the woods. Attached File Attached File Before scrim: Attached File |

Originally Posted By Yumago: Getting back into the game, anyone play around with the Team Wendy Epic Specialist yet? Yes I know you don't like TW, TNVC View Quote Yes. It's an excellent helmet with excellent features and an excellent price point. I have an ops core Fast SF and Fast SF bump. My biggest hang up with the TW products used to be their proprietary rails which sucked ass in my eyes. The new Arc compatible rails are fantastic. There are also no thru holes on the TW specialist. It's a pretty neat construction process. The only reason why I haven't purchased one for myself yet is because we are hoping to have them issued soon. The Modular Bungee Shroud on the ops core products is the best shroud and retention system available. The Specialists shroud is decent but the bungees or eye hooks as I call them need to go. If it were my helmet, i'd tear those bungees off the second the helmet was in my hands. Given the price point, I'd say just go get it. I don't think you will be unhappy with the purchase. Lastly, I think TW is offering a better "warranty" than ops core. I think the "shelf life" of the TW product is ten years but don't quote me on that. |

The new Rail definitely makes it look like a winner in my book. Probably going to order one in a couple weeks. |

Ops-Core RAILINK with FAST SF with modified Ops-Core OEM helmet cover (cut in the back to expose the “Hot Shoe” for the Battery Pack+) and DIY Battery Pack tether cannibalized from pieces of an Irregular Defense bungee kit and leader-wire—I love my dummy cords, and since all power is now supplied through the battery pack, I felt that it was a pretty critical component to keep from getting lost.
