My son Ben has done a couple of afgan tours. He had mk7 on his first tour second tour mk8. He has told me he and many others wish they stayed with the mk7.
The virtus helmet is extremely hard to come by because they rarely come legitimately through the correct channels of disposals. The MK7 helmets are easier to get and you may be looking anywhere up to £100 for one. Best places to look is a UK surplus store or online
Two questions one is have you served just a random question because I am interested not trying to call u out for being a walt and what is the nvg mount called for the mk7 and the head band
No mate not served. Appreciate the question in the friendly sense. Unsure of the exact name for the bracket but it’s the same as the one for the mich series of helmets and it’s designed for the rhino nvg mount. The headband is just a cats eyes band
Unfortunately I don’t have a picatinny rail to add to the helmet but it would literally just use the same mounting screw as the one that holds the nvg mount on
Unfortunately not. I’ve had a look online too and can only find the instructions of measuring from source (virtus). I think my helmet size is M and my head size is 58cm. I would expect a small to go up to 55cm and a large up to 62cm but don’t quote me on that. Hope this helps
If you have Instagram send me a message because it’ll be easier to do it that way. If not don’t worry I’ll try and get something sorted to show you. Can be a pain in the backside to do when you’ve got layered scrim on

Yeah I’ve heard a lot of people say that. Please pass on my thanks to your son. The MK7 is a brilliant helmet
Have u noticed mtp has gotten a shade darker since afghan
Yeah, it’s to make it fit into more darker environments but the main function is it’s IR signature properties and how it disguises it
Really miss the DPM.Ive been looking for a helmet, and have always liked the UK style helmets and kit. How much is one of those helmets?

Can you do a video on how to attach a Picatinny rail to the side of the helmet?
Unfortunately I don’t have a picatinny rail to add to the helmet but it would literally just use the same mounting screw as the one that holds the nvg mount on
@@allykitreview121 alright cheers mate 👍
I wonder if it is possible to attach the visor onto a fast or airframe helmet
How do you get the scrim under the NVG plastic on the front?
Just unscrew it and remove it from the helmet. Put scrim on. Make sure the screw holes are still clear and screw it back on
Where do you the Virtus helmet?
Should have bought the M92
Do you have a size chart available for the virtus helmet?
I.e what size m is in head circumference.
Unfortunately not. I’ve had a look online too and can only find the instructions of measuring from source (virtus). I think my helmet size is M and my head size is 58cm. I would expect a small to go up to 55cm and a large up to 62cm but don’t quote me on that. Hope this helps
Cool video dude
Cheers mate

Please could you translate to English

Awesome. Thank you very much.
Could you upload a video of unscrewing the screws on the revision taking the night sight stand off to put the scrim on?
If you have Instagram send me a message because it’ll be easier to do it that way. If not don’t worry I’ll try and get something sorted to show you. Can be a pain in the backside to do when you’ve got layered scrim on
@@allykitreview121hi mate can you please send me a video on how to r move those screws feels virtually impossible lol
Where you get the night vision band?
Hi I think I got it off eBay. Search “night vision helmet strap mount” or something similar on google and it should come up with a few things
Looks wary
