Compared to standard pads, do these require you to use a larger size shell or not?

How does the outer material feel on your head? Some of them memory foam things feel cold and wet.

If I was to upgrade to the zero g pads, can the worm dial be installed with the zero g pads and no impact liner?  I know the back part of the worm dial harness has hook/loop attachments which go in the impact layer which is why I ask.

But so does the factory ops core OC dial.  I guess the only way I could get this padding setup is if I just went back to my old OC dial it seems.

Good to know, thanks. I was disappointed with the OEM pads that came with my Airframe.
