I run a set of Skydex pads inside the helmet. There is currently a directive out that the installation of "alternative" suspension/shock protection is not allowed in the CF, but I've been in a bad armoured vehicle accident before and know that the stock styrofoam padding is not up to snuff.

Was told to take it out once by a passing REMF officer to remove them but he wasn't in my chain and I knew he would forget about it so I just left them in.

For earpro I wear a set of electronic ear cups w/ noise suppression that wire into the crew/radio intercom. They go on underneath the helmet and the ear cups are big enough to let them slide under.
