Does This Cheap $60 Ballistic Helmet From Temu Work?

[@PhantomLlamasDen]

What other Body Armor products/ideas would you like to see on the channel in the future? Let us know!

[@Gregiorp]

You guys see the budget red dot Olight is making called the Osight? I feel like that's right up the cheap alley for content.

[@PhantomLlamasDen]

We’ll have to check it out! Thanks for the suggestion!

[@MorrissaurusRex]

Net thrower. Test it on someone running

[@PhantomLlamasDen]

lol!

[@adrielburned6924]

7 yrs Army. I can't wear ballistic helmets or plates. I just have my 3A soft vest with a 2A insert, and my bump helmet. I will just put a sticker on my helmet asking to not shoot my head. 🤷💚 Loved the video. First time watching.

[@adrielburned6924]

Forgot to mention, I can't wear them cause they are too heavy. Several spine surgeries.

[@PhantomLlamasDen]

Welcome! Thanks for the comment and for serving!

[@Z10R]

LMAO there are some air guns that hit harder than 22lr that helmet won't even protect you from a high velocity pellet. That thing is SUPER trash👎👎👎.

[@MorrissaurusRex]

Looks like you could survive a hammer fight (silver lining?)

[@PhantomLlamasDen]

It’s SOMETHING to note. Maybe we’ll test for ricochet or explosive proof properties… oofta…

[@melvinhowell5469]

Wow...that's criminal...

[@PhantomLlamasDen]

I will say the same helmet is now sold and labeled as “explosion proof” or “impact resistant”. But this was definitely sold as 3A for quite a while… And I know a TON of people were buying them…..

[@billm2078]

It might not even stop airsoft.😊

[@PhantomLlamasDen]

My gosh I’d hope so. Lol stopped a hammer though!

[@NONEYAZ]

How About Testing The: "Safe Life" 3A Plus Body Armor!?! That Can Supposedly Stop High Threat Special Handgun Ammo Like: 5.7X28mm +P+ Rounds, And Possibly Other High Velocity Rounds Like; Liberty Ammo 2,000 Plus FPS Ranges, And 12 Gauge Shotgun, Steel Slugs And 00 Buck, Etc, That Penetrate Most Other 3A Vests On The Market! Pa-Pow, Amen! 😎 🙉🙈🙊 🇺🇸

[@PhantomLlamasDen]

LMAO. Brilliant! 🤣

Matt here… I appreciate them. I do. I just dead pan you back.

[@BC-qb2if]

Isn't Temu financially backed by the Peoples Republic of China? The reason for low prices and cheap shipping?

[@PhantomLlamasDen]

lol not just financially backed. It IS a Chinese company. All the “Made in China” stuff a person buys on Amazon or in brick and mortar stores…just direct from their factories/warehouses instead of through other companies. It’s honestly eye-opening how few things we buy anymore are made in the US… 😞

[@BC-qb2if]

@@PhantomLlamasDen I understand that many of our goods past and present have come from China. Temu seems different. They price things so low, not to make money, but to crash the market, crush their competitors.

[@jaxturner7288]

There is an in depth video about Temu on a channel called moon I believe. It explains how their goal is to manipulate the market and gather data from their app. Supposedly it is just as intrusive as tiktoc. Total spy stuff. And they explain how they destroy American companies because of their shipping exemptions that make them able to ship globally at no cost to them because it is 100% subsidized by the shipping charges we/ American companies pay in western countries. It’s pretty much like welfare but for shipping.

[@jaxturner7288]

Edit: upper echelon is the channel with the video.

[@Hardsofter1]

Thats an airsoft helmet lol😂😂 Edit:no hate but someones hotta tell him.

[@PhantomLlamasDen]

No hate received! We totally agree with you. BUT when it is marketed as a ballistic, explosion proof, AND 3a Bulletproof helmet (what the listing was), you know people are buying it and trusting it. Most of us know not to trust this stuff, but some people still will. Cheers!

[@Hardsofter1]

@@PhantomLlamasDen oh i didn't realise i saw a same looking one marketed as Airsoft lol.

[@PhantomLlamasDen]

Oh I guarantee you they’re nearly the same thing. I will say it seemed more resistant to blunt force, but that’s about it lol

[@zeddmysterYT]

hmmm...Getting weapon-based equipment off of Temu. I completely forgot that they sell things like this.

[@no-barknoonan8798]

Lol nothing better than importing defense articles... I'm sure it's all legit, no ITAR violations here.

[@PhantomLlamasDen]

Lol

[@PhantomLlamasDen]

You should look at the lawn mower mufflers they’re selling now. BIG NOPE. Don’t like that!

[@johnniecameron8829]

It's not a ballistic helmet ....it 's an airsoft helmet

[@PhantomLlamasDen]

It was marketed as a ballistic 3A helmet. Clearly it is not. That said, it is not one of those cheaply made ABS plastic airsoft helmets. It’s just not a ballistic helmet as it was originally advertised.

[@warbuzzard7167]

It's a foam bicycle helmet with tactical-colored paint. Probably wouldn't even protect you from a ricochet.

[@PhantomLlamasDen]

Surprisingly not foam/styrofoam. It’s some mix of PE and fiberglass. Just not much of it. Heh.. It’s sad to see the people that have left positive reviews even now calling it 3A…

[@Agent-cu5pv]

Its a bicycle helmet, not a ballistic helmet.....lol.

[@PhantomLlamasDen]

Essentially. Regardless it's marketed as ballistic and 3A, so we had to test it lol

[@W9HJBill]

Made in China ... 'nuff said.

[@salteabutwhy2939]

Temu is literally aliexpress rebranded. Nobody is surprised.

[@PhantomLlamasDen]

The people that have bought this thinking it IS/WAS 3A probably are surprised. Lol

[@tacticalnewbe5745]

I did, it said US, should have known it was trash, just had a ballistic sticker, with no paperwork in testing or etc, so I'ma say it's a expensive bump helmet, my knowledge on stuff like this is evolving so lesson learned.

[@PhantomLlamasDen]

We all start somewhere, regardless of the subject. No judgment here.
