I was reconfiguring my counterweight setup tonight and realized I'd never weighed my whole helmet.
It weighs 99 oz; or 6 pounds, 3 ounces. Buzz, your girlfriend . . . WOOF! What does your setup weigh?

My little scale is too small to handle the helmet, and the bathroom scale might be a bit coarse, but as near as I can tell it's 6.8 pounds or 108.8 ounces
I am thinking of mounting a spare 14 with GoPro on the side rail, that should get me close to 8 pounds

Wifes minimalist setup 62oz
5.5oz weight under the pads in the back plus anvis batt. pack but probably needs 2-3oz more to balance it out.  Mine is a little over 5lbs, I'll check later. |

Quote HistoryQuoted: How do you like the step in visor? Pulling the rubber perimeter pieces off helps keep them from fogging. Have worn them a few times while flying my ultralight that doesn't have a windshield; they did pretty good in the breeze. |

I ordered one 2 months ago from ops core. Last piece of the puzzle I need. |

Lot to be said for CF/polymer bumps ~ 1lb of weight saved ~ 1 x 5.56 28-30 rd mag, ~ 2lb saving, one extra litre of water or 2 x 5.56 28-30 rd mag - let alone saving on neck and weight distribution. Good, interesting thread.
