[ARCHIVED THREAD] - M/L in Ops Core FAST Base Jump- what size in WENDY Exfil ?

Posted: 4/20/2014 4:55:08 AM EDT

I measured and ended up with the M/L in Ops Core. If my head were any larger it wouldn't fit. I'm using the small pads and the helmet fits without being loose with the tightening system wide open. The helmet is not uncomfortable, but it would be with the thicker pads. Anyone have a good suggestion for a size in the Wendy line? Anyone tried both and have a preference?

If you are on the verge of needing a L/XL, but the M/L still fits when its let all the way out -- go with the L/XL. Especially if you ever plan on wearing a thermal cap underneath, or electronic ear pro. I have worn both the TW LTP and the base jump extensively, and in my opinion the LTP is much more comfortable. From what it sounds like, you're approximately 1/8" shy of the ending point for the LTP. I would go with the larger size. However, measure your head to get a better idea.

the internal padding on the base jump along where the top of your head would be in the helmet. it just leaves something to be desired, and starts to give me headaches after about an hour of continuous wear. I dunno though, maybe I just have a funny shaped head. I don't have any issues with comfort from the TW LTP.
