I meant thhe big gap between the two side holes and the helmet itself. I noticed that if you slide the mount up a bit, so that the side holes line up more or less with the top one the curvature all of the sudden starts to match and it's flush against the shell; I think it's the little bit of flair around the bottom edge of the pgd that is keeping it from seating all the way due to interference with those two pointy bits in the plastic of the wilcox in the middle of the bottom plastic edge + a small bit from the top edge of the outside of the top hole. Assuming you'd noticed the same I guess I was currious to see if you'd sanded them down/ taken a bit off the top and had any decent luck.

I didn’t put anything but the factory PGD pads in it. I tried a bunch of different configurations for the factory pads and it just sits too high no matter what I do. I’m happy with how my my HHV fits at this point. To each their own.
No, you have to look at the manufacturers back space deformation specs, if they make them available. Different helmet manufacturers see different levels of backspace deformation.
Injuries of the head from backface deformation of ballistic protective helmets under ballistic impact - PubMed
Modern ballistic helmets defeat penetrating bullets by energy transfer from the projectile to the helmet, producing helmet deformation. This deformation may cause severe injuries without completely perforating the helmet, termed "behind armor blunt trauma" (BABT). As helmets become lighter, the...

This might help you decide on how much backspace could be required. https://www.hardheadveterans.com/pages/best-ballistic-helmet
I just got the 2 side scews started than screwed in the top. Once all 3 were started I finished tightening the top leaving the sides a little looser to conform to the helmet. A couple weeks later I tightened them up. Alls good.
I’ve been running the original shroud with $30K worth of dual Skeets and KVC bridge. Rock solid.
hmmm, wonder if hhv is quoting their numbers from 9mm or .44.
for reference here's the pgd's latest test results from Jonas, said he couldn't send the whole sheet since they split cost with another company and it's their name on the report, this is the bfd table though:
Yeah, I’m pretty pleased with the finish.
I’m on the hunt for a decent helmet bag now to keep it in decent shape since it’s a nice finish. Not going to baby the thing but I’d like to keep unnecessary scrapes and dings to a minimum.
Big thing is don't get shot in the head with a .44 maghmmm, wonder if hhv is quoting their numbers from 9mm or .44.

That.....that would be me..... with a G24. Sucks I'm the only one with a slightly sloppy shroud. Honestly, it wasn't that bad but I'd rather error on the safe side, and a Wilcox isn't that much.
Tight lock up with a Rhino 2 here. Counterweight installed and it makes a big difference in how tight I need to make the boa. Almost don’t need any boa tension now.
Mine's got a good bit of rattle with a g24 also. Still got to sand down some plastic on the Wilcox and get it on.
Got my first taste of blacked out night driving in this bucket tonight. I may just have to live in this helmet it’s so comfortable. I’m trying to come up with something negative about this helmet and I got nothing other than the waiting for it to ship.
Bulletproof zone got the majority of our orders with their discount code and they had them drop shipped from the factory in Denmark instead of having Denmark send it to BPZ and then BPZ sends it to the customers.
So, last night I confirmed that the HHV ARC rails are not a direct replacement for the PDG rails, or really a replacement at all.
Just my experience

My Agilite order arrived. The cushions (pads) in this PDG are like wrapping your head with marshmallows. Pretty darn comfy!
I can try to get some more tonight. I don't really have any zoomed out pics at the moment.
Incase someone wonders about the Arctic Tab (because it is uncommon), I wrote the USARAK Arctic POI which is called CWIC (Cold Weather Indoctrination and Certification). I had another name for it but the USARAK Deputy Commander didn't like it when he figured out what the acronym was (he didn't have a sense of humor Anyways, I earned it and I absolutely loved it up there so I put it on my personal kit. https://soldiersystems.net/2020/04/...b-now-authorized-for-wear-in-us-army-pacific/

If I can ask, what size helmet and cover is that? I have a large helmet (giggity) and wasn’t sure if the agilite has corresponding sizes since they are different companies who may or may not agree on what size “large” would be.
Seriously? Damn. She's going to send you on all the errands now.
Thanks for the pic of the invoice. Not to be a copycat but I think I need that agilite cover on my life.
Damn, best of luck with the insurance people and extricating the car out of there.
