All masks are air conditioned, the air flows freely through as you're suckin' it. They're also water cooled, as the sweat runs out the exhaust valve...

I wonder what you do if you get one of those irritating little itches on the end of your nose or in the corner of your eye while wearing this contraption??? Does it come with a "handy remote itch reliever" included with the package?
I would have thought that the sight of being confronted by an someone wearing one of these helmets would be enough to give a potential enemy a heart attack without a shot being fired.

I have never tried one, but I would like to. With all the body armor these days and the training to take head shots, this seems like the natural evolution.
How do you hear what’s going on around you? Are there microphones and noise canceling for loud sounds?
The exposed necks and back of head (left guy) in the picture make me wonder if it’s “Fake News” or an advertising pic. They look a bit bush league. Are they really SAS?

And the baddies always run around yelling "Feeling Lucky Punk!" with a Model 29 S & W 44 mag because they liked the Dirty Harry movies.
I think its getting to the point where the stuff a soldier has to carry around whether protective or not can lead to fatigue issues and increase the chances of heat stress markedly, one wonders what peripheral vision impact it has and if the battery goes flat then what off with the lid rustle through the pouch for a spare battery shouting "I got a Flat!" all the while baddies are sling AK, or dish dash rounds at you.
Nope send in the robots thats where its headed they already have the mule to carry extra supplies for the troops why not an active killer robot then the troops can sit in a bunker command post to eliminate the bad guys if your bot gets wasted just get another no more grieving families.
The other solution involves B1's and B52's and the general populace would not like the solution raining down on all the baddies hot spots mind you no one could go there for a few hundred years so thats one solution!

If the helmets emit an IFF signal you could set up one of the target tracking auto fire rifles we saw a few weeks ago to target the signals the helmets emit.
