What buyers complain about
“Absolute garbage”
“Also, the mounting screws were way longer than they needed to be, so just have that expectation whenever you purchase this”
“Too hard for real combat helmet”
“Not actually comfortable”
“These aren't very thick so if you need something thicker you need to look at something else”
“I did try to remove them with limited success since the adhesive leaves behind a sticky residue which matts the fuzziness down rendering those pads effectively useless”
“doesn't fit very well”
“How about don't pre-install anything since someone obviously doesn't know what they're doing or gasp tge concept of velcro”
“Not incredibly sturdy nor do they appear to be able to handle any load over time”
“there are no instructions”
