Can you post a link? I googled it and came up with nada.

I'm not feeling the look of the Rogue, myself. Look like some 2.0 version of an Imperial Storm Trooper.

I like some of the other styles, definitely marketing to our returning soldiers, aviators, and sailors. No problem with that.

I think it's Akoury. Try that and you'll find a bunch of video reviews, the site, etc.

Here's a link to their site: Akoury ak-88

Personally I hate helmets but if you must, go for the 1/2 but why spend so much on something you hate?

Carbon fiber half helmet is kinda like condoms with ejector ports! WTF!!@#$%
