Never knew this was a thing, but it’s good to know how to run hearing protection through a helmet. Thanks!

@ShortStackSurvival 2 года назад

I’m glad you learned something new. Thanks for watching and commenting!

I was sceptical at first but you did an excellent job showing why this is the way to go. Also, this might have just pushed me into replacing my HL Impact Sports with Sordins. Thing is, I have the HLs integrated on a fast helmet for airsoft purposes and Sordin's custom wiring made me hesitate. This might just do the job without me hacking an expensive piece of equipment into bits.

Thank you! I have a hard time dedicating a pair of ear pro to a helmet especially when they cost so much and will be used sparingly. I prefer to have something that is quality and serves many roles. The cherry on top is that I find behind the head hearing protection wayyyyyy more comfortable than traditional style over-the head bands. It was a nice surprise and I will run them from now on and just keep my impacts, walkers etc as backups or loaners. If you have the money, give sordins or safariland a try and like you said, it will keep you from destroying a perfectly good pair of Ear-pro.

This was an incredible video. I’m not sure why this information isn’t discussed more often so thank you for putting this out there.

@ShortStackSurvival Год назад

Thank you so much! I’m glad you found the video useful! I decided to make the video because I was fiddling around with it for a long time and finally figured it out. I’ve seen several RU-vidrs wearing ear pro and then they put their helmet on and cut to the next scene. That way is super uncomfortable - it puts a ton of pressure on your head. At least this way, it’s super comfortable and doesn’t take much time to set up.

of the two helmets in this vid, what do you like?

@ShortStackSurvival 8 месяцев назад

I prefer the Hard Headed Veterans helmet especially now that they offer made in USA 🇺🇸 options. Sadly when I bought mine this was not the case, but I take solace in knowing that I supported a company that eventually brought their production to the states. With that said, depending on what you can afford I say the Ballistic Armor Co. does a fine job and is comfortable. I highly recommend doing some research on both, compare manufacturing standards, NIJ ratings, coatings and colors, rails and accessories etc. before buying. Hope this helps!

It seems that the neckband system isn't a good fit for helmets at all. Perhaps the best option is to use the overhead version with a gap in the cushioning. Peltor's arc rail adapter isn't the best choice, as it tends to pop out when in awkward postures.

@ShortStackSurvival 10 месяцев назад

I know it seems like a pain in the ass, but once you get the neckband system adjusted it is very comfortable with a helmet. I tried using my traditional over-the-head hearing protection with the helmet and it was a extremely uncomfortable for me. With everything costing so much these days, I was looking for a helmet/hearing protection solution that didn’t break the bank and didn’t require me to cut apart anything like on some dedicated rail systems. This is definitely a solution for me until I can justify spending more on a helmet mount set-up.

@NoKnifeNoLife Год назад

Finaly! I've spent a lot of time trying to fing video about neckband earpro with modern system a la Team Wendy. Thank you very much!

@ShortStackSurvival Год назад

Awesome and you’re so welcome! I’m so glad to hear that! I definitely struggled trying to figure out how to integrate it the first time and after a bunch of fiddling around I figured it out. My hope was to save people time especially if they don’t have the fancy helmet mounted ear-pro yet. :) thanks for the comment!

@matthewwagner9350 6 месяцев назад

Consider adding Velcro (fuzzy on the ear pro, scratchy strap coming down from the outside of the helmet. You could then put your ear pro on after your helmet and use the Velcro tab to hold the earpro up.

@ShortStackSurvival 6 месяцев назад

Ooohh good idea! I’ll have to play around with it and see if I can make that work for me! Thanks for the suggestion.

@SonOfMoses7 Год назад

Can this cause damage to the sordid supreme pro wiring? I want to put them in my helmet I’m just scared I’ll destroy my sordins

@ShortStackSurvival Год назад

I have the behind-the-head sordins and the way they integrate with the helmet there should be zero issues with wiring. If you have the traditional over-the-head sordins, I have seen several videos showing how to integrate them and it does not appear to affect the wiring. Either way, just keep an eye on the condition of the wires as you use the helmet and if you see any signs of wear, add some electrical tape to that area.

Just an observable observation, when trying to place helmet over behind the neck ear protection, why didn’t you just loosen up the straps and then re adjust them. Would have been more comfortable. You’d be able to rock them with no issues, as i can run normal head band sordin’s with chin strap adjustment. Just my two cents…. Btw nice lid HHV all the way

@ShortStackSurvival Год назад

That was one of the first things I tried, but the metal bar that runs behind the head on the Sordins is exactly where the helmet cinches down and at least for me, is super uncomfortable. I have a small-medium sized head so maybe different body types can get away with that sort of set-up, in which case I say rock on brother. Thanks for commenting, it helps people get a different perspective on how to set up their helmet.

@BRYAN-pt4gv Год назад

@@ShortStackSurvival I had to test it lol, so i wore my buddies behind the neck ear pro and i can see what you mean, as I too wear a medium lid, it was a little too snug. So I stand corrected!

@ShortStackSurvival Год назад

@@BRYAN-pt4gv Hey no worries man, I’m certainly not perfect so maybe I was missing something. Thanks for commenting and taking the time to test stuff out!

Hey ! Your the first person to show this to me :D. Thank you ! I have been throwing it on top. And then tightening the buckles... Also I loveeee my PGD pads ^^

@ShortStackSurvival Год назад

You are welcome! I tried just putting the helmet on over the top of the ear pro and it was soooo uncomfortable. That’s when I messed around with it for a while and realized if you run the strap through it works pretty good, no more hot spots! I’m just running the original pads that came with the Ballistic Armor Co and Hard Headed Veterans helmets. I’m not sure if they source them from PGD but they are pretty comfy.

@luuk8973 Год назад

How does it fit when you put the ear pro on after the helmet

@ShortStackSurvival Год назад

It doesn’t work, they fall down without the head strap on. At least for me this is the major issue I had.

@@ShortStackSurvival I was going to go the permanent attachment route with my TW Bump, but this seems like a decent alternative.

@ShortStackSurvival Год назад

@@jakemerica I was debating doing that too, but hard mounting expensive hearing protection seemed a little excessive for something I probably wasn’t going to be using all that much. This way, I can use them at the range and if need be, integrate them into my helmet. It’s a solution for now, and it beats emptying your wallet just to have the Gucci operator set-up. I figured if I get to the point where I’m consistently using the helmet and getting into night vision or something I can mount them later.

@jakemerica Год назад

@Short Stack Survival Totally agree. Currently only have a set of Walkers. May pick up a set of Sordins with the neckband and do what you did.

@ShortStackSurvival Год назад

@@jakemerica Walkers are awesome for the money, but I definitely have to admit the sordins and the safariland liberators are really nice. The cool thing about the liberators is you can swap out the suspension system and even upgrade them to comms later (you have to send them into safariland for that and it cost $$$$). I have been busy with my new job lately, but I’m working on a video showcasing the msa sordins and safariland liberators. Bottom line, if you can get either one on sale, I wouldn’t hesitate. The behind the head is now my absolute favorite suspension system because I can wear them all day 8hrs+ and it doesn’t give me hot-spots like traditional muffs do.

Gotta protect the bread basket, I didn't even know that hearing protection came like that or integrates into the helmets I dig it! For me finding a super sized bread basket protector would be hard but good to know how to integrate stuff into it. Great job, good to see your having fun with it

@ShortStackSurvival 2 года назад

Thank you! I can only imagine what size would fit on a big-boy head, probably XXXL. You know what they say about big ballistic helmets…..they are a lot of bang for the buck.
