Vic-3 AVC Helmet.
   (Ver 1)

 

This helmet looks to follow the same design as the DH-132 and DH-132A. It is possibly the "B" model. I am told it is the "digital" version and is not compatible with the AN/Vic-1 or 2 system. But then I have also been told that it is compatible, so who knows?

Looking closely at the helmet it appears to be a very high quality product with "Bose" brand earphones, reportedly with gel filled ear seals. The compact mic comes complete with a fitted wind shield (foam sock) and although dramatically different to the older model retains the same quick fitment design.

I don't have any further pictures, so I do not know whether the selector switch is still positioned on the left ear cup or not.

Padding is thicker (hotter?) than earlier AVCs.
