Hello Gents,
So I tried searching for this topic here but could not find it.
Anyway, I was reading posts from a military FB page and saw this. The OP was talking about our SF soldiers now slowly adapting to the Ops-Core ballistic helmets.
Any truth to this? First time I've read about Comtacs or Sordins having Kevlar lining. I tried Googling for a source but could not find one.

... The high-cut helmet (which exposes the ears) was not made for aesthetic purposes or to make the operator look cool and badass, it's to accommodate tactical headsets for the individual operator to communicate with each other, the team leader and the TOC during a combat operation. The shells and liners of the headsets are constructed of Kevlar, Aramid or/and other bullet/shrapnel resistant material, effectively replacing the portions that were cut off from the previously low-cut helmet. Without these headsets, large portions of the operator's head, left and right sides, are left unprotected.
