Why couldn't the Armoured Corps get this as a crew helmet instead of that abomination bike helmet that was rolled out?

As far as uncovered ears, having suffered a fair amount of hearing loss and permanent tinnitus from my time in, I'd be much happier with a helmet designed to integrate active hearing protection than a couple more inches of ballistic coverage.

It’s a trade off, the active hearing protection is a game changer in terms of being able to communicate. We run a very similar helmet and I’ll take that trade off any day.
