Hmm. Interesting bit about the hoods, I'll have to look around for an assault suit.
I'm not much of a helmet **** so excuse my little knowledge about them.
The assault suits are a difficult find, I managed to pick one up on Ebay a little while back, since there was a guy who had three or four. They're gone, now, though.
About the helmets, I had heard from someone else before calling them "CVC shells" as opposed to the whole thing, which would just mean the outer shell. I have a CVC sitting around (anyone wanna buy it?), and that would be kind of hard to achieve.
Here's my assault suit. They come in different colors, black, navy blue, more bluish, purplish blue, etc. I'd love a black one...
You can find more in-depth pictures if you look around.
