Hard Head Veterans Bump Helmet Review

[@USMC-1911]

Man those helmets have come along way from steal pot helmets we used but at least you could cook in them or heat your water up to shave .

[@WeaponizedAutismiii]

Well, AR500 wants to bring back steel pots

[@sunnycat69]

I just ordered a bump from HHV Saturday shipped Monday in the lords color ODG 💚

[@dtna]

Thank you. I was wondering why I would need a helmet. But a bump helmet would help with search and rescue. I currently have a mountain climbing helmet.

[@jonsingleton203]

The bump helmet let's you run Night vision and comms while being lighter kevlar helmets are over rated anyway if your in a overt combat scenario wearing body armor your being shot at by rifles that go straight through it . They are more too stop fragments from explosives not bullets

[@road_king_dude]

5:45 Me strangling my little brother when he touches my gear.

[@frank12830]

I have that bump helmet, it’s now my new doorstop.

[@jaimemartinez3866]

lol

[@TiberiousGib]

Thanks for the review, i've been looking at these for a little bit!

[@Lynxdefense]

Been wondering about these. I’ve seen them all over Facebook, thanks for the review!

[@dansage3665]

Better off getting a proven helmet like the ACH for half the cost, or get yourself a high quality ballistic helmet from Opscore, 3M or Team Wendy.

[@909cobra]

Thanks. Great review. Ordered the bump helmet

[@jakeells66]

I know this is an old video but I just want people to be aware of your analogy, calling it a "tactical hard hat", does not mean it is rated for construction use. That being said I have spoken with the company and they are currently working on an ansi certified helmet and boy am I excited for that!

[@tumbleweed0u812]

I Wonder why they done away with the quick cam adjust system in the back?

[@mtnride4930]

Just ordered one to use with my PVS14 hope it works, if not back it goes.

[@SUAVEWILL]

Do you think this bump helmet will be good for airborne operations?

[@t1ddys]

I love those fellas, great product at a great price for their ballistic helms

[@azrael3030]

Awesome review definitely cool ass helmet going to check them out

[@michaelw.urbansr.8617]

check out your site and no link for the Helmets? Guess im going to have to look them up myself?lol

[@Dixie9mm]

Are they berry compliant? I would use the bump for training stuff that doesn’t require 3a. but not the ballistic, would like to see what the back face deformation is like. It may stop a bullet but the helmet may end up embedded in your brain.

[@tomsoki5738]

NIJ ratings also include deformation requirements so if it’s actually tested and confirmed 3a then your brain will be intact even if shot with a 44mag

[@rudyruiz9615]

so this is just a fancy skaters helmet?

[@Bobbylee1963]

So the bump helmet is a M/L and the ballistic is L/XL ? I have a 23.5 head like you and would rather have the M/L any thoughts?

[@danielbabcock7004]

No the bump comes in M/L or L/XL You can message HHV on facebook and theyll tell you which one to get. 23.5 is the top end limit in size for the M/L

[@Tobes-88]

There’s a reason why ops core, team Wendy, crye cost so much. R&D, testing, engineering, etc. there’s a reason why those brand helmets are much lighter. They’re also made in the USA. That money goes right back into the pockets of US citizens. I don’t know about you but if you ever have to use a ballistic helmet for real and for long hours of use I don’t want to be saying “Gee, I’m glad I saved this much money by skimping out on something that meant to protect my brain or my life.” Saving a buck to get something in your hands faster doesn’t always mean it’s right

[@dirites]

How do you get a ballistic helmet? I tried and was told I had to be in law enforcement, military or security.

I know this is old. But I’ve got a Galvion Caiman and an Ops core ballistic for any serious stuff, but also an HHV for running through the woods with nods

[@bombsaway6340]

Where are these helmets made? Can’t find any reference to origin on the HHV website. Not buying anything made in China, no matter how cheap.

[@tomsoki5738]

Assembled in China I’m pretty sure, I think OPS core is us made so I’d go with them

[@StratBurst92]

@@tomsoki5738 So is Team Wendy which I chose over the Ops-Core.

[@zehnsechz]

I keep asking when and where you are using these helmet to test them.

[@shanek6582]

Man $200 is crazy for bump helmets, I know all the manufacturers charge high prices for them but they’re just injection molded plastic.

[@VictoryOrValhalla14]

Pricey but there good kit.

[@TheJBerg]

I'll just paint a bike helmet and call it a day. Maybe clamp on a rail for a lamp while I'm at it.

[@abbybonilla4511]

Ops-Core, Team Wendy and Crye are basically the Gucci brands for helmets. Top dollar just for name.

[@Tobes-88]

Eddie Bonilla no that’s not it all all. Do you understand there is a cost to engineering, R&D, testing? I don’t recall HHV having any government contracts not just here but across the entire world. Also, do you really want to cheap out on something that would protect your body?

What is a good budget helmet that can survive 7.62x51

[@VictoryOrValhalla14]

I was hit twice in 2006 in my front plate, DO NOT skimp on armor. Save an extra $200-300 for good kit it’s worth it. Good armor is a life saver.

[@VictoryOrValhalla14]

Noli Me Tangere well it depends on the angle I suppose, spalling is an issue regardless. In my case I took one dead center and about an inch above the bottom of the plate on the right side. The only thing I’m certain is armor saved me and I’m a huge advocate for it.

[@thehebrewyisraeliteinstitu1868]

Bro’s. A little help. I have a 3Xl large head with lots of black hair. Can anyone suggest a Bump Helmet that would be favorably to me. Thanks in advance 🙏🏾👍🏾👈🏿

hey bro where can i purchase that exact flag

[@1000Mountains]

Doesn't that chin strap jack your beard up pulling on the hair

[@road_king_dude]

No strap it.

[@VictoryOrValhalla14]

Just put it under your chin like a single strap, don’t use it like it’s supposed to go under up your lip and chin.

Do you know if this is legal in CA?

[@dixy2k]

I don't see the point in having/wearing a bump helmet. Either a ballistic helmet or nothing at all.

[@dansage3665]

darkjedi351 aside from soldiers and private security, who’s getting hit over the head w anything?

[@dixy2k]

Why not a bike helmet? I saw videos of freak accidents at the range in which a bump helmet would not help. Some were luckier than others. Why would anyone wear armor and only a bump helmet?

[@warriorhealth2172]

Clearly you've never served in the Military. We used to hit our heads in the Humvee's all the time.

[@hatework4282]

I wear a bump helmet everyday, we just called them hard hats where I work.

[@combativetvpilot7720]

Damn tho, 199 for a non ballistic helmet why would people buy these? it's only 100 more for a fully ballistic helmet i'm not saying there's anything wrong with these helmets but i don't have the money to drop on gucci gear like this that really provides no advantage

[@BlokeBritish]

thr r cheaper versions of the same model on ebay. not the same material of course

[@quarterpounderwithcheese3178]

I ask myself why I would need a bump helmet over a ballistic helmet and it goes back to the same philosophy of why I'd need a chest rig over a plate carrier. If I'm pulling a slow paced guard duty shift in a dangerous area or I'm in a frontal assault against an armed person or people, chances are I'm gonna need it. If I'm in the desert or flat hills or large rooms with no cover or concealment against armed combatants that can easily target me, chances are I'm gonna need it. If I'm gonna jump out of a car or truck, guns blazing in the street, without the need to worry about a pack to carry and just my main arm and side, chances are I'm gonna need it. But if I'm in a densely packed jungle, forest, suburban street area, and/or I'm backpacking with 30lbs of gear on me, and/ or I'm on a stealthy, hit and run, shoot and move, guerilla style tactical op, chances are all the extra 20-40lbs of ballistic gear are gonna go is slow me down and risk getting me killed. As a civvie, odds are you're not an armed security guard in the ghetto or a riot, kicking in doors of gangbangers or insurgents, or getting in an hours long gunfight on a 6 lane highway, so you don't need level V protection to soak up 50bmg gatling gun volleys against you like a literal bullet sponge. If you get ballistic protection as a non-combative civvie, it's to LARP. Plain and simple. Even in a crime filled area, dressing up like a COD Juggernaut is only gonna get you molotov cocktailed because you deserve it instead of doing what any normal person would do and just vacate the area.

[@oakleave]

I definitely agree with you but with one caviat. Some people don't have the option to vacate a trouble area, at least, not quickly. Maybe they have to care for loved ones who may be elderly or have an injury or disability. You may even have to pass through a dangerous area to get to loved ones. Maybe you just didn't get the memo in time, but totally agree. Most civilians do get this for Larping, or for functional fitness training. Even law enforcement officers who get protective equipment have a statistically low probability of seeing a return on their investment which is a good thing. Although body armor is designed primarily for the military, it is protective gear. When not in the carrier, you can take one of those plates and put it in a back pack if live in a dangerous neighborhood, or if all goes to hell, you can take all your cool mall ninja gear that actually makes you look like a dork when your out of shape, and put it on loved ones to better protect them. That I think , may be worth the cheddar if you have it.

[@ICEgoalieWARRIOR]

You're either over exaggerating for effect, or you've never worn modern body armor. Either way, anyone who knows anything about combat is probably going to ignore everything you said . smh.

if you made an option with a traditional rail system and quick adjustment system in the rear, i'd definitely get one. until then i'll stick to other brands, even if they are a bit more expensive.
