The Base Jump does not impress me to be honest...

- The Base Jump’s shell is molded plastic instead of carbon-fiber used in the Bump.
- The standard NVG shroud is molded into the helmet shell, as opposed to the optional VAS shroud you’d add to the Bump.
- A new under-the-chin, single chinstrap option that offers a bit more comfort over the split, military-style chinstrap for non-tactical use.

Personally, I like to have the option/ability to change my NVG mount if needed - there are always new and better mounts being released. I also don't like the single chin strap - I found the original OpsCore split, military-style chinstrap to be much better and more secure.

There are also two Base Jump models:

Sports Model - $142 US

Military Model - $239 US

The Sport version has the uner-the-chin single chinstrap, the omission of NVG bungees and no Picatinny adapter.

In comparison, a AALPHA-HALF with a Picatinny rail and a OpsCore VAS shroud - $158 US
Isn't the Protech padded fit where as the dial thing is on the OpsCore?
