4D Tactical helmet pad retrofit kits are widely regarded as the best aftermarket helmet padding available. The pads are made of soft memory foam, they make putting your helmet on your head feel like putting a cloud on your head. The outer material is sewn together so it will not tear like glued pads from other manufacturers.
Many other brands of helmet pads are not as soft nor are they as spacious and as a result give the user uncomfortable pressure spots over time. This problem only gets worse as headborne systems become heavier with the addition of night vision goggles, mounts, counterweights, ear protection, ballistic protection, etc.
These pads do stiffen up in the cold, however your body heat will warm these pads up in a matter of minutes and they will offer a mild degree of insulation in cold weather.
The 4D Tactical Caiman Retrofit Pad Kit offers the most technologically advanced suspension systems available. This technology was originally developed for the US SOCOM and other Tier 1 first responders around the globe. The suspension system (padding) is a rate and temperature sensitive material that conforms to the wearer’s unique head shape.
The 4DT Caiman Retrofit Pad Kit leverages all of the existing 4DT Retrofit offerings in a Direct Drop-In replacement Pad kit and replacement nape pad.
Sizing: The kit comes in one size, and is designed to provide the same fit as the original retrofit padding, to be used in conjunction with existing EPP base layer
