Howdy,
On myventure into the Death Watch cave on TC, some members of the group pointed out they could no longer wear both their composite helmet and their rebreather. Upon examining the rebreather, you will see it actually takes the "eye" piece that is otherwise only filled by the Special Edition goggles. I remembered a post from TH way back when saying that the armor hole seemed to be the rare occasion when it hit this hitbox. So now, it appears as though they have coded helmets to cover the eye hitbox as well as the head. From most reports, this seems to be curing a great many complaints of the armor hole, though there have been a few abberrants that could be caused by all kinds of stuff, though not necessarily an armor hole. Just figured you guys might like to know to inform your customers -TGD

I've never been able to wear both at the same time on live. Equipping one removes the other. If the Armor hole was in the helmet, it wouldn't always hit health. The goggle/eye slot used to be an issue as I understand, but was covered a few patches back if I recall.
I've heard rumors of the current armorhole being the weapon slot (i.e. only occurring with weapon equipped).

I looted a rebreather in the Geo cave yesterday. I put it on and my helmet got unequipped.
On a side note. Armor holes is not only restricted to helmet. Seems to hit health quite often.
For a very long time I didn't use any clothes under or backpack, but thatdidn't improve it either.

The eye piece hole and post that you are referring to is old and outdated info and was one of thier first attempts at fixing the armor hole bug. This is not the fix that is on test center right now.. The armor hole bug that we are currently experiencing on the live servers and was fixed on the test servers.. Is due to the weapon, it was discovered and tested out by many players in the Jedi forum that unequipping your weapon seemed to result in the armor hole disappearing.. This pointed the dev's in the right direction and if you read thedevelopment forums you will notice that TH said that this was the case.
However, i will say i am very very glad to hear this time the armor hole "Bug" may in fact be exterminated.

Ok I knew that they fixed the eye hole a while back, but I believed the "weapon-holding" case was resulting in the eye hole opening again. I guess the important info is the armor hole is going away

Rebreathers spawn in the containers within the geo caves, they are not tradeable or droppable and only prevent the poison clouds within the caves from effecting you when you are wearing it. I looted my first rebreather on the day the geo cave opened and they have always unequiped my helmet when I wear them.
The current armour hole bug (which is fixed on TC atm) is the result of having a weapon equiped, or so the devs have led us to believe.

Anyone ever consider that this may not be a bug? Perhaps a possibility of an opponent finding a weak or unprotected spot in the armor from time to time?
I know back in the days when armor was worn, it was important to be able to hit exposed areas. Say...driving a dagger under the armpit or between the seams.
I can also see where equiping a weapon may cause the opening to increase. It's common for a fighter to wait for an opponent to make a move...thus creating an opening in the defense.
Considering they're making efforts to correct it...this must not have been the intention. Just thought I'd throw it out there.
