The issue LWH and MICH with Surefire earplugs have worked fine for me for years. Now that I finally have my own PVS-14 and acquired a MSA Sordin 75305 model, my standard cut MICH won't fit over the Sordins. (I know the neckband version is designed for better interface with helmets but I got my Sordins in a trade from my buddy, current prices for new are too high IMO) I would love to get a more modern high speed Kevlar like the Ops Core FAST but $1000+ for a helmet is way too much for me. Looking around, I came across http://www.hardheadveterans.com/ but no reviews from anyone yet. These helmets are configured just like an Ops Core but at half the price, it is very tempting. I don't doubt Ops Core's quality as I use their excellent X-Nape chin strap on my MICH and of course all the high speed units that use their helmets. However, besides weight, what makes the Ops Core worth the $500+ premium over the ATE? And does anyone have any experience with the ATE and HHV as a company?
