I'm not laughing at you. Alot of money for your application. Are they practical, What about a radio headset?
It is the CGF Gallet; the same company that makes the MICH helmet. Canadian model.

You can't wear those under a helmet. Tac 6s are cheaper, slimmer and have a longer battery life.peltor tactical 7
Same helmet basically. head crusher.
The Com-Tac 2nd Gen will probably work, but I am not going to know until after teh Shot Show.
I have Sordin Supreme Pro's, and I made a comparison with Peltor year ago when purchasing them. Peltors were slightly cheaper, but Sordins had superior sound technology with almost no cutting out when in loud noise and better sensitivety. They are actually useful whilst hunting, as they reproduce the sound very well.
I can recommend them to anyone who needs hearing protection with which you need to also hear very well.

oh, i didnt know he wanted to wear them under the helmet.I use the tac 7 at shooting range and for dynamic shooting. If he has to wear them with an helmet,i think your choice is right. AS for the battery life,I'm quite satisfied with it,it lasts long time anyway.
We had Peltor Comtacs in the service. They faired very well, even in -20 degree celsius weather. I used rechargeable NiMh batteries in mine and they would last for over three days if left constantly on. Durin the 5 months I used mine, none of the Comtacs we had in our company failed.
Just make sure you clean the padding every once in a while or it will get mouldy. They will fit under most kevlar helmets, but can get a little uncomfortable after a while.
when comparing the two, was one more slender than the other for use under a helmet and did one have better hearing protection as a stand alone set of ear protectors when turned off?
I have not used them with helmet so this is just educated guess, but I should think that Sordins will fit without problems as they are slim. They do have quite thick part that goes over your head, and I would guess that it will hurt after extended use if it is between your head and helmet padding.
When comparing noise reduction, just by estimate they are more or less equal to slim basic model Peltors I have as my no. 2 protection in case if I have a friend in the range.
Sordin has the reduction figures at their page, so you can compare the models.

I own both. IMHO I find the Sordin's a better fit, but the Comtacs have better sound quality.
Based on your experience with both, and had to choose only one of them, which would it be and why?
Try Earshot, about $120, compatible with 2.5mm. two Nuclear Weapons Eng. and a Doctor made them. Very clear. Tel.#785-675-3917
