Cheap Helmet vs Nice Helmet || What's the Difference? 

Now that's funny, maybe you should stop shilling shitty products. Just food for thought

I am too curious. Any additional details you're allowed to disclose would be appreciated.

@@Vi3t878 let me guess, you use traitor brand?

Hahahaha I remember watching this video originally and being shocked you would recommend such a dog water company

You should stitch Velcro in and on the pad so they aren't permanently stitched in but can be replaced to 8)

Playing soldier is expensive.

Hey guess what ? You can join the US ARMY as a Infantrymen and get issued nice gear for free! Omg I know mind blown! MIND BLOWN!

@@TheInfantry98 that gear belongs to the tax payer not you

@@TheInfantry98 I prefer to larp

TheInfantry98 actually grunts get pretty crappy gear compared to socom units

Agreed, you don't need a brand new shell you can just pick up a Team Wendy (or similar) liner and chin strap and instantly improve just about any helmet out there.

Need a survey of m-loc or ARC Rail

@@davidb9323 mlok is superior from a technical standpoint. It's a more durable connector system and at this point has as many if not more accessories available for it. The only reasons I would use ARC rails would be if I already had a helmet outfitted with them and therefore had accessories for them or if I had an opscore Amp headset because I don't believe those are compatible with Mlok but I could be completely wrong on the second point

@@death31313 Unity Tactical makes the Platform Adapter for M-LOK for Opscore Amp compatibility.

@@GB-01 I stand corrected, gotta love unity tactical, they make some really cool stuff. Thanks for the info.

this. i bought a hudis tactical helmet for like $230 because its a 3a ballistic helmet but the strap style pushes the helmet against my forehead too much. i could shave down the front pad a little or just buy another strap system. currently in limbo on what to do about that.

@@alphawolfgang173 Just get the 50 dollar skydex pads and straps or make your own pads using pool noodle foam and those velcrow wall strips. I did it with my helmet and it works great

@@deltashot5608 i dont need to be that cheap, lol, but i get your point, its very doable. im just curious what budget suspension system would be best for a fast helmet. i already bought some pads so its comfy on the head, i just dont like that the suspension i have pushes my head forward so hard, and the dial on the back caught on my vests handle so i either get a new suspension system without a dial or restrain my handle.

@@alphawolfgang173 i personally dont use suspension because i use a small helmet and the pads alone create a tight fit. The only thing i dont like is that the top pad gets painful after a while because it's constantly being pressed onto my head. Its better to use the smallest helmet that can fit you so you have the least weight on your head and the most stationary fit

5. the cheap helmet is probably a knockoff chinese helmet

I agree, have ran vortex along with Nightforce on my long range rigs the glass is not as nice on vortex but it is totally repeatable and does an awesome job.

But he's right. They're Chinese believe it or not. Not saying it can't be good but you're supporting them and waaaay over paying for what they actually made it for on top of it cough cough apple

@@unleasheth just like him supporting hard head veterans that make their helmets in China lol.

They will be American Made in the New year I believe

Made in chyna?? Ok, nvm.

@Archie I’m very aware of the retail merchandise “over here” that’s made in cHyNa, and make every attempt to avoid it. Sometimes I can, sometimes I can’t, but I try. You?

@@r.u.sirius7423 till u try brainin an invading chinese and his helmet works😂😂

I'd be surprised if it was really level 3A though

What suspension system did you swap it out with? im thinking about upgrading the padding, since the dial tension isnt great.

@@poortac5568 I recommend the Team Wendy or Ops Core systems.

That’s cause you have common sense and didn’t get paid to make this video like he did lol

Hardware aside, it's likely the same helmet produced in the same factory in China anyway as the HHV.

@@xXjOmAmMaXx really? Mmmmm

....and there is coincidentally a coupon code.

Cause….. it is. His video 6 months ago on that green one was “oh man this helmet is good for low budget” As soon as he gets gifted the HHV and gets a cut of sales. “Man that green helmet is dog shit. Buy this one instead!” At least your smart enough to catch that type of shit. Unlike the other 90% of his following that doesn’t realize this kid talks out of his ass 90% of the time. I figured that out 6 years ago when him and his friends were 3 years behind the curve. But his little fan boy base protect them at all costs cause theyre good at playing army 🤣

So I would disagree that it’s not an option at all, it will for the time being be my go to war option, and once I can spend money on a ballistic helmet, that will be my go to war option and the nightcap will fall into a low profile/edc/hiking role that I intended for it.

Had an hhv balistic then upgraded to a team wendy and id never go back. At least change out the pads and put the cam system in your hhv

@@outlawkaz6715 upgrading team wendy prolly won't happen due to their politics; pretty sure it's them that support leftist causes but I could be wrong. Anyways do you have a recommendation recommendation on a pad system?

@@DeplorableKitty So supporting Chinese communists is ok, but supporting US leftists is not? Gotcha!

@@nalinification Bro, everything is made in China now. We can't compete at the moment. Unfortunately, our "leadership" on both sides of the aisle sold the American people out long ago.

@@nalinification they're the same thing, so support neither.

Weren't they found out to be Chinese made ? I remember reading something about it

@@goose33 yea I heard that too. heard the same about hhv

No traitor products

@@VSO_Gun_Channel what did they do? I just seen it as a good ratchet system, thanks.

@@VSO_Gun_Channel holy sh!t I just looked it up, I had no idea they were backing the hildabeast and all the anti gun dems! I thought I was up on this crap, I’m still pissed at Ruger because that POS Bill Ruger supported the Clinton AWB in 92, and Bills been dead for like 25 years. Screw Wendy. Maybe that’s why that ratchet was in the bargain bin lol.

The stock pads suck. Switch to 4D Zero G pads.

@@jhalscott Thanks.

I converted my CVC shell and it’s fucking dope, now I have a fairly large head and wish I could’ve snagged a medium cause the large shell is huge but I just used some 4d pads and fits snug

@@braxtontompkins7737 I got the large as well for the same reason. Adding padding is easier than making your head smaller.

Looks like he has shitty helmet pads. He prob wouldnt buy the good ones since theyre made by team wendy. Which is his perogative

Your original option was right. These kids have been faking the funk for the last 10 years. If you watch his last video and watch this one it’s obvious he’s only happy to sell this one cause they gave it to him and he gets a cut of the sales using his coupon code. They’ve always favored the companies that send them product or a check. And like his last one they talk out of their ass. He buys his first brain bucket and acts like he’s been using them for years. Then not even 6 months later makes this video trashing that helmet he said was a good option not more than 6 months ago.

@@mrmidnight32 I was out of line in what I had originally said so my apology for that was sincere and necessary. But, not being a rich man or one who gets products sent to him for free I have to be reasonable. I appreciate his sales pitch. But I'm just here to get ideas and see testing. Just like my vehicle situation. Would I prefer a Raptor 6x6 to my beat to hell 92 Dakota? Well, yeah. Who wouldn't. But I'm a single dad busting my ass to get by one day at a time, slowly building up and upgrading my kit as I can. After much research and pricing my options I bought myself and daughter each an ACH for under $200 combined. 2 helmets for less than half the price of one of his. It stops the same calibers and covers a lot more area then the tiny, high speed one's everyone seems to fancy these days. If things really do go south one day I think I'll be glad I have my ears and nape protected and my poor mans steel 11x14s for my chest. I'd rather look uncool and live to fight another day than to leave behind an overpriced corpse when the SHTF.

@@KyleKalevra I won't argue the ACH, I used one for years until switching to an Avon. But steel is just not good, it can be defeated by m193, you can get good deals on ceramics these days.

Best thing about the PASGT helmet compared to all the variety of FAST helmets is it actually covers your head, the side exposure of the FAST helmets is out of the question for me, if I could afford it I would just get a devtac ronin

@@c03_psychie20 From my understanding, the SF guys prefer the high cut because having good hearing and awareness is going to prevent you from getting shot a far greater % of the time than the amount of times the extra inch and a half of side protection is going to save you. There's also the consideration that neither the high cut, nor the low cut helmets are rated for rifle rounds, which is the majority of the weapons encountered. So why reduce your awareness when odds are the weapon hitting your helmet is likely to punch anyway?

@@oddeyeus2365 I own a PASGT helmet and it does not hinder my awareness. My point is that they use the FAST to attach things to it, but it offers less protection and has much less of a chance of a bullet ricochet, you could always get a headstrap to attach things to it rendering the FAST useless and only dead weight. In terms of rifle rated helmets, they do exist, but then the SF guys come up with brand new excuses even when the better(yes, yet heavier) gear can increase their chances of survival

@@c03_psychie20 That level of arrogance is pretty hilarious and impressive. 1st, how would you know if your awareness is hindered by wearing the PASGT or not? Have you gone out and actually tested it? Have you run through combat scenarios against real humans wearing the helmet vs not to see how much it affects your performance? How much it affects your ability to hear what others are saying to you? What ear pro do you wear under the PASGT? Normal plugs that reduce your hearing and make communication with teammates more difficult? Or do you slap a modern electronic ear pro on under it? How long did you trek through rough terrain in that setup to see just how bad and uncomfortable wedging ear pro under a PASGT is? Just because your own brain tells you that you aren't affected, doesn't mean it's true. Everyone likes to think that they are at peak performance. You're the hero of your own story. 2nd, I am going to trust the judgement of the thousands of SF troops that have spent millions of man hours down range with their lives on the line over your opinion. What reason would they have to "come up with excuses?" Yeah I don't think so. You know we have extremely extensive body armor setups, with plates for the torso, kevlar all around, shoulders, crotch, etc. Notice how you don't see that much in the field anymore? Because it sucks to wear it and move around in it that long and begins to degrade combat performance. Just because something is more protective doesn't mean it increases your overall chance of survival. Combat is dynamic and there are many factors at play. More armor is not always better. 3rd, Missions and mission necessities change. PASGT may work great for the situations that you are in or think you are going to find yourself in. It's a fine helmet. I own one, as well as an ECH, and a high cut. If I'm going to be vehicle borne and have no intentions of disembarking besides getting from A to B, I grab the ECH because the odds of getting hit from the sides and having glass flying are much higher in a vehicle situation and the weight and communication becomes much less relevant. Every helmet has its advantages and disadvantages, you can like your helmet and be confident in it, but don't trick yourself into believing it doesn't have its own drawbacks and doesn't hamper your awareness/hearing.

@@oddeyeus2365 what I said is just the protection ALONE and based off just wearing it, all those other factors will obviously have a much more complex affect based on the situation like you mentioned, so long story short take my opinion into account when staying in one fixed location for a long time wearing that form of protection, when moving and having to do many things over long hours...that's a different story. Also a perfect example where all that lightweight gear, awareness and communication goes out the window is the Niger ambush, that is is the standard equipment the soldiers prefer and was also the cause of their death. When I said the thing about excuses is when there is a possibility of creating better stronger armor but also lightweight to match the needs and still perform the same can be made but they'll create a new excuse not to wear it which actually means they're happy with the gear they already have regardless of the situation and what it requires

No traitor brands here

Oh ya because it didnt click down all the way and it was at a moment where it wasn't good for sound vs hearing.

Too heavy and bulky unless you want to waddle around in 100 lbs ceramic or 200 lbs steel

There is already the helmet

Look into galac tech armor

Me too, they are legit.

that back face deformation will get you killed.

@@SkintSNIPER262 what are you talking about bro, back face deformation?

@@anonymouscitizen2732 you're spending money on armour and haven't done a single ounce of research?

I don’t care where it’s assembled. Team Wendy is traitor brand

Team Wendy is at the low end $1k. Chinesium is at the low end sub $200.

@@VSO_Gun_Channel what do you mean traitor brand? I want to get a helmut and want to know the best bang for the buck. I do not want to go cheap but do not want to break the bank either.

@@VSO_Gun_Channel I must have missed something then. Do you have a video or something as to what happened with team wendy? Sucks to hear they are a traitor product. 😕

@@heathenmotosports3412 They hosted a rally for Hillary Clinton back in 2016 where she advocated rolling back 2nd Amendment rights. Plus their owner, Dan Moore has donated to the Democrats so not surprisingly they pissed off a lot of their customers.

They got blasted for that a long time ago and recently moved production to Texas.
