Hikepros.com Level IV Ballistic Helmet 

Bit of a correction on your statement about helmets not being designed to stop pistol rounds. An NIJ IIIA helmet is designed to stop up to a 44 magnum fired at around 1400 FPS. This information should be published in the open in what's known as a V50 Ballistic Test, and a Ballistic Penetration Test. While there is (unfortunately) no NIJ Certification for ballistic helmets, you should still be able to obtain NIJ test results from any manufacturer, as all helmets should be tested against the NIJ Standards. Your results with the subsonic .22LR are indicative of a fiberglass helmet wrapped in two individual layers of aramid. Those two layers of aramid are more effort than most of these knock-off brands usually use. You're also shooting near the crown, which is supposed to be the strongest point of the helmet because that's where the material is the strongest. It's a shame that Google and Meta allow these companies to falsely advertise their products in this way. We've been speaking to them about this for what feels like ages now. Always check for publicly published NIJ test results from an accredited 3rd party lab when you're looking at helmets. If this information isn't freely available in a PDF format from the accredited lab, chances are the tests were never conducted or the manufacturer is concealing information. Very well done video Mississippi Mud.

So, if they claim Level IV and it fails that badly… shouldn’t they be held accountable? Just curious

I was looking at ballistic helmets and saw those pop up. I remember thinking to myself, that has to be an absolute scam. Good to see someone actually test it to see how bad it actually was.

Thanks for saving my $$$ and maybe a life...

This channel could be the start of something great, keep it up man!

9th Garden Precision recommended your video. Damn good info. Thanks for posting.

I'm glad I saw this. I was thinking about buying one

Thank you. Please continue posting videos.

Just as I expected,I was skeptical considering I had never seen any helmet above lvl 3A and at just $200 I knew it had to be too good to be true

Thanks for the honest evaluation.

ive always wondered what these helmets could do ive owned one for like 2 years not surprised with the results

One of my friends just bought one of these, unfortunately didn't look for reviews first. Sent him this video. You might save his life.

It's cheep Chinese fiberglass. But, either the $1000 kevlars ,or this,will let a rifle bullet whistle through. It's a place to hang nods and lights etc that doesn't cost a fortune.

Excellent review. He many tacticools right now are thinking uh oh lol. The price point itself gives it away. I wouldn't pick up a IIIA for $199 and expect it to save my life.

Thank you 🙏 you saved me 200 bucks

You saved me some money.

Man. Thanks for making this.

Seen again just because. Fing HILARIOUS 🤣 🤣 🤣 🤣

Thanks I appreciate it

Ordered 2 today before I saw all the negative reviews.tried emailing 10 times to cancel ,no reply.hopefully it's a decent bump

Thanks!

These helmets are more for mil-sim and maybe just mounting NV to do some training. They still serve a purpose without breaking the bank, but definitely ain’t for life saving.

I needed a new helmet for rappelling and climbing. Another frie d had one of these. Works well for bumps. Not really going for a ballistic aspect.

You have potential to have a 500k follower channel. Keep posting. Nice jacket btw. What is it?

Well perhaps Chinese heads are much stronger lol Thanks for spending 199.00 for us

Thank god I saw this before buying it

good video dude 👍🏼

I thought you was going to shoot the team wendy to compare lol

It’s hard to believe anyone who knows anything about armor and guns could believe a helmet would be a level 4.

Wonder if it’s level IV airsoft. Over 400 FPS but under 450.

Dang just bought one I mostly bought it to mount night vision on can’t really afford a 1000+ helmet so figured I’d give it a shot now regretting my decision.

Da provare con gli 6mm BB’s da Softair…bucato anche da quello 😅😂😂

They say u buy twice if u buy cheap

They now go by Tachelmet

Hey, I'm going to be using clips from your video on this company. I will leave a link to your channel in the video description. Quality content brother thank you for showing what a scam this company is

you just saved me money, thanks bro

Hey Mississippi Mud do you mind me using this video to send to the BBB if needed … no joke .

High cut and low cut helmets are level 3a meaning the can stop 22,9,45,357,and 44 with a direct hit the ones that are not ballistic are the bump helmets

I ordered mine practically for airsoft don't really regret it got the ach helmet. How long did your take to ship

Cheers I knew that was way too good a deal.

Thanks for saving me a lot of money and possibly my life, going to Ukraine in April

ROFL. I bought #4 of these for $100 ea. My intent was to have a helmet to protect my head from normal things but didn't want a typical hard hat. I hope these offer the same head protection. (video idea) As for combat protection, First Sargeant (1997) shot our US Army-issued helmet at the range and the 5.56 at 25yards went in and through the helmet. The object in a fighting situation is NOT to get shot Period, as even bulletproof $1200 helmets offer zero face protection. Plus this helmet was cheaper than Amazon's airsoft helmet. LOL

Longfris are $200 and they'll catch handgun slugs all day long. Don't ask about BFD though.

Hello please help me i buy today one helmet 7.62x 51 level VI hikepross is good or no i am in army which your opinion?

Why do we allow cheap Chinese garbage to be sold in the US? Especially when there is a safety consideration involved. I saw them advertised on Facebook even. I think Facebook should be held accountable.

Why does mask can Mimi use these if they supposed to have the best stuff?

I have heard of a bunch of people buying these to donate to Ukraine to help . Perhaps that's why we are seeing the uptick in advertising 🤔 bet they're making a boat load of $ off people that just want to help but don't know anything about it

Damn

" Now granted, they probably won't shoot you in the top of the head..." Some Letter Agencies might disagree.

Not SO cheap. I mean, you can buy a small sheet of titanium for 200 bucks, and beat it with a hammer to a sort of shape. You would waaaay better with that than this.

Who could've guessed? A 179$ helmet doesn't work. Wowee. Color me shocked.

Why did you blur out the word Chinese?

It's a Cheap Airsfot Helmet for $199 Chinese are always lying about products.

Regarding your recommendation at the end, are you sure it will stop an Airsoft round? 😂

Lol they claim it'll stop 308

Hello, I'm looking for where to buy ammunition, I need for the war in Ukraine. can you give any advice?

Expensive bike helmets lol

There’s really no such thing as a level 4 ballistic helmet yet to my knowledge

It is a helmet for lvl 4 facepalms.

Thanks for saving my life with this chinese junk helmet

Hikebros should be sued and put out of biz.

Why did you edit out the word “chinise” before calling it chinise crap?

Looked at one of their helmets on their website. They copied the Team Wendy description word for word on one of them

Suppressors do not slow down bullets

This isn't even lv ii

🤣 🤣 🤣 🤣

MADE IN CHINA
