Pads Information:
Team Wendy - two part foam pad covered with a thick non-porous
plastic
covering
with external cloth covering. One part of the foam is fairly pliable
and
the other is
rather stiff. The cloth covering is two colors: black and green
or grey and green.
There may
be markings on the pads such as ZAP or an NSN
number. These pads are
fairly
stiff to the touch.
Oregon Aero - two part foam pad covered with a thin semi-permeable
coating
with
a cloth cover. The cloth covering is two colors: black and green. There is
an Oregon
Aero size tag on each pad. These pads are very flexible to the
touch.
MSA - one part foam pad with mesh layer covered with cloth
cover. The cloth
covering
is two colors: black and green or black and gray. There may be
markings on the pads such as
an NSN
number. These pads are somewhat
flexible to the touch.
Skydex - two part pad covered with fabric. The cloth
covering
is two colors: black and green. There may be markings on the pads such as
Skydex or an NSN number. These pads are fairly stiff to the touch.
Interesting Test: Take the trapezoidal or top round pad
out of the helmet. Lay it on a hard surface (parking lot, bar, floor,
etc). Punch with your fist (or your buddy's fist). Start with a
gentle punch. If you can't hit as hard as you can, then you probably have
a pad system that we didn't send you. This works best when you have pads
from several different manufacturers.
