I'm no expert but does a baseball cap provide the same level of protection?

[@GarandThumb]

If it looks cool yes. Make sure it's operator but not too operator. For example, multicam hat is too much. LA hat, or NY hat is too casual. Now, LAFD, NYFD etc etc is the perfect level of operator. Also if it looks dusty - the dust acts as level IV ballistic protection.

Well done, very comprehensive IMO. Brings back memories of much larger heavier helmets I wore for 12+ hours on patrol. You younger fellas have some cool kit.

[@themanwithnoname9894]

The Crye Precision AirFrame is very nice. The light weight definitely helped out with my back problems. I also had fewer headaches at the end of the day from breaching than I had with the MICH helmet. That opening at the top really helps out. Another draw back from the AirFrame is that it falls short in the crush test than the Ops-Core and MICH. When you put it on you feel like Dark Helmet from Spaceballs. But it also looks cool! So super plus there. Didn't stick around long enough to get the Ops-Core. But I started off with the old helmet with just a chinstrap and old suspension band, then up to the Marine Corps modified headband suspension band, then to the MICH. The AirFrame was like a gift from the Gods! Money well spent on that one. Great Video.

I really like what he says at the end about wearing your helmet for prolonged periods of time, I want to say I am not an operator, and I have never worked with operators, however, I have spent the last 6 years working on the flight gear for fighter pilots including their helmets and oxygen masks and at home they’ll fly a few hours at a time a couple times a week and be super happy with how their helmets and masks fit and then we’d go out on deployment and they’d have to wear their helmets and masks for much longer intervals and after one or two flights they’d start coming to us to get things refit because they start noticing hotspots where it’s causing discomfort. But of course Plaid Daddy reviews operator level equipment for guys who are only going to be operating at the local airsoft field.
