Thanks much, because of how I run, there's lots of different stuff on my helmet. I run inside the ear, hearing protection, and run a good set of ballistic shooter glasses. My helmet only has a white light because that is what works for me. It's about how you are running. The equipment must fit what you do. There are times I must ditch the helmet and go forth.
I looked forward to these more than I look forward to my dad coming back from buying that pack of cigarettes he went to get from the store........25 years ago
I will give you something highly relevant that no channel has done. I want to see SBR .308 rifles in different lengths with AP ammo against threat level 4 and 5 body armor the stuff you will see on battlefield or on pros in order to solve the question how short can we go with .308 in AP and I specifically mean Armor Piercing like you were loading up specifically to fight a modern equipped team in a single engagement so no cost spares. We are not trying to be thrifty just MO Power all the way!
That had to be the best gear review I've ever seen on RU-vid short informative non of that lame salesman like pitches just honesty. Love your Vids Buck!
Man i subbed to you a few months ago at 13k, and youre already at 50, thats wild but well deserved. You are one of the motivators that made me walk into that recruiters office and sign back up into the infantry. I knew that not at least TRYING to get my ranger tab and scroll would eventually destroy me as the years go on and that door starts closing. So thank you, really.
I’ve had an HHV helmet for about 6 months and I agree. It’s a great helmet, but it needs something like the cam fit system from team Wendy. The ability to micro adjust the strap tightness is such a game changer.
@@JavierHernandez-fq4hu they have a snap adjustable band that mounts to the front strap screws and passes thru the rear pad. At 19 bucks I might try it.
Buck I got your book Monday night and read the whole thing yesterday. The part where you talked about being in the kitchen making fries because you didn’t have food crushed my soul. I’ve been there man, even without knowing you I feel like I’ve known you my whole life. Seeing your own home and feeling anxious and scared was all too familiar for me. Thank you so much. I passed the book off to my girlfriend. You’ve done so much for me. This book was life changing!! I’m taming the dragon and accepting I’m broken. A lot of work to be done still! Thank you 🙏🏻
YES. Team Wendy is the stuff! Never had an issue with it on my ACH or otherwise, totally fixes a lot of the issues! Buck, by the way...your book is spot on! It should be in the LEADERSHIP isle!! The beginnings of you are a mirror image of my own path. Something I tried like hell to keep a secret for decades. Thanks for being real, for being raw and not holding back. Real stuff, man. Appreciated. Have passed the book to a brother who is hurting, I have no doubts it will enlighten....as I said...LEADERSHIP. Too bad Amazon does not allow for 10 star reviews.
Great review! Thank you. Yes-would definitely like to see you do more reviews. What’s the best gear you like to wear to train in the rain? Best IFAK kit/set up? Thanks!
I picked up a HHV bump helmet... I should have just went with the Team Wendy Bump helmet because now I'm going to get the Team Wendy Chin Strap to fix this issue I have when mounting my nods that you mentioned. Great video, wish I would have watched it sooner.
My issue is I need a small helmet size a lot of company’s don’t offer that besides HHV does anyone know of any other good company’s that have ballistic helmets in small thanks
Hey brother, you should do a video on packing a ruck based on ta-50 and shit during sfas. And how to add weight when needed with what you have to meet the weight standards.
I have a 1st generation HHV ballistic helmet and i took it to Afghanistan while contracting. It was comfortable and was overkill for the job i was doing. of course, a few guys had their own fast helmet with electronic ear protection. We did a lot of comparison from each helmets guys brought such as an OpsCore, Team Wendy, HHV, and the army issued ACH we got. Me personally, I would get an OpsCore or Team Wendy (bye bye stimulus money haha) but my HHV gets the job done. No, I didn't add any electronic ear protection/comms, nvg mounts, lights, and etc. just plain and tan is all i need for now.
Not going to lie, my favorite part of the helmet is the chin strap magnet. Genius. My favorite place for my beard to be is on my face, not in a chin strap getting ripped off my face if the strap pulls the wrong way. Keep up the reviews man, the tips and tricks (helmet tape!) are awesome!
. Cool lid, but I'm still rockin' an old MSA ACH TC 2000 (w/ TW H-back strap and TW Epic Air liner) Regardless of what you buy, spend the money, get Team Wendy straps and pads. Your head will thank you.
Long fix for the fitment issue: rehang the all 4 straps from the 2nd eyelet. This will shorten the entire strap system and allow you to use the slider buckles more effectively. I like to lock down the back set with tap so they dont pop open.
I read the book and I have to say... It's really good man. I'm going to be honest, this is the first book I read in like 10 years, that should say how excited I was to read your book. 10/10
The new Gen 2 OpsCore helmets they get are around 1,900 compared to the older gen 1 which are are 1,400. I bought that helmet and I got the team wendy helmet strap after I got it. Solid Helmet at a great price.
I'm a support guy for group and I dont get any of the cool Gucci gear that yall get issued to you. I have to choose to either run army standard issue gear or spend my own money and be more comfortable. I'll spend my own money because a lot of army gear is just crap.
I have that exact helmet. I got the botach turn strap for 40 bucks. Locks into place just like a team wendy for half the price. I'm not in war so it does the job! Lol! Good review Sean! Keep them coming!
What's your opinion on them using a cheap chinese manufactured helmet as the base, adding their own suspension system, and then selling it to you claiming it to be a superior product?
Bearded locks haha. Yeah reviews would be awesome. For exp. Like what boots shoes clothing gear to wear wheather it be down range or at home. Sick vid keep it coming bro.
Buck, what do you think about the Salomon Speed Assault? I find them to be very comfortable (especially having neuropathy), lightweight, breathable, good ankle support, great tread design, dry out very quickly, speed laces are very quick. I'd like to know your opinion on them though. This review came out at the right time. Several people that I know are looking to get helmets and then add the NVS.
Buck..Your helmet review puts high tech tactical into perspective .Not your father's head gear anymore. Definitely checking out your book. Thanks Brother!
My only gripe is that HHV should give you the option to get the ARC rails instead of just the mlok. Only for the reason that i feel like more accessories are available comms, lights, etc are available for the ARC rail
I’ve has my HHV since the first gen 2 helmets came out. I totally agree with his review. I got a team Wendy cam fit helmet strap and it changed the helmet 100%. Helmet sits nice and won’t move when locked down. I’m a LEO and the ACH helmets we have are miserable compared to the HHV.
You were dead nuts on when it comes to replacing the chin strap. I spent the coin and replaced it with Wendys CAM Fit Retention System along with also installing Team Wendy's Comfort Pad Replacement Kit. Light years ahead of what HHV was cheaping out with.
I bought the bump helmet years ago. Works great for my needs. My biggest complaints are the strap adjustment as you mentioned and rails. They are a pain in the ass to accessorize.
Didn’t want to spend $600+ on ear pro so I bought the Howard Leights sport to install but HHV’s Mlok adapters were oos. HHV recommended the Unity Tactical Mark 2.0 adapters and their Mlok Mtec plastc hardware to mount it to the mlok rails but it didn’t work too good. So I ordered the 3M Peltor arc headset adapters and HHV Arc replacement rails on Ebay.
Read RISING ABOVE; from page one I couldn't put it down. Great book brother. I will definitely recommend this to anyone that is trying to find their place in life. Truly inspirational.
Good shit Buck. I am in the market for a helmet presently for my trunk load out bag. I also read the heartfelt comment by Outdoor Outpost and will be looking to pick up the book as well. Semper Fi Brother!
It's nice to see a good in-depth review with the actual pros/cons for once and not just someone shooting the piss out of it. Hope to see more gear reviews from you soon. Thanks for the laughs too btw.
I have just ordered your book from amazon i really like your videos and my son loves watching them as he is thinking of joining the British army in two months and he wants to join the special forces in the future.
I just finished your joint podcast with The Lead Wasps and enjoyed that one man. I'm curious though, did you ever have moments of distrust with the ANA? I can't remember who at the moment but I remember a SF guy who lost his leg and a few brothers to a rogue ANA guy. Oh and your book should be here Monday!
Nicee review brother. Love this helmet and I’ve been seeing a lot of good reviews. However their lead time is a pain in the ass. I hope they can have more stock so we don’t have to wait too long .
I'm more worried about the ballistic protection. I heard from Mikey that the cheaper ones are basically the Chinese made ones which don't absorb as much.
i've seen independent tests on these and yeah, apparently they seem to be Chinese made and does not meet the advertised protective levels, for example if you buy a level III HHV helmet, in actuality, it performs more like level IIIa.
awesome video I have had old helmets back then Mich mostly or no helmets 🤣 but I like ops core bump helmet That knob on the back is awesome wish I have helmets like this back in 1985 - 2008
Alright buck I am trusting you. Just bought everything you recommended. I wish you had the video shooting the piss out of it before buying it. Oh while you are the expert! Don’t tell my wife.
