Kiwi,

I recently purchased a pair of Bolle T800, and I also plan on replacing my standard issue PASGT with a RBR combat MK3. However, after reading your post I'm having some reservation with respect to the combat mk3.

One thing you had mentioned is that when the T800 is worn from within the MK3 helment, there is no interference with the helmet's head harness buckel.

My quesiton to you is this: if there is no interferenc from the head harness while wearing your gogggle inside the helment, why should there be interference when the T800 is worn over the helmet - In therory the face gasket should still clear the helmet's buckel system (the only difference is having more slack in the goggle while wearing outside of the helmet}. Could you please elaborate?? I a bit confuse.
