I picked up a helmet from HHV. First one delivered the retention straps were screwed in the wrong spots and so were the NOD platform. After some emails back and forth I was able to get my helmet replaced. The new one is cherry and fits like a glove. Seems the one I got was made on a Monday or something. Anyway, great helmet and support was very responsive. 5 stars recommend HHV!

[@AbelCompanyArms]

They definitely have great support. I had to send one back to a size exchange and they turned it around quick.

[@jadedclone6728]

Glad they handled business well. I've been looking into these.

[@Gunthusiest]

I find the ballistic rating on popular helmets to be totally bizarre. Most scenarios where a helmet is actually needed, the enemy is almost 100% likely to be shooting rifle rounds at you anyways.

[@DirtyGixxer]

Maybe that pistol rounds close range mimic results from rifle rounds at range? could be wrong tho.

[@f.b.l.9813]

agreed

[@RusskiyMed]

I would worry about debris from mortars and explosions more than a guy with a rifle who dings my helmet from 500 - 700 yards away.

[@Spazzycat14]

Pretty cheap for a ballistic helmet, but DAMN that's steep.

[@armon8399]

Even if it could stop a rifle round it wouldnt matter cuz it would break your neck

[@sebastiansaxon]

One of the guys I was deployed with was shot in the helmet by a 762, and the bullet traveled the entire length of the helmet, exiting out the back. At certain angles it will protect you from even rifle rounds.

[@highbrass3749]

Doubt it.

[@CopperJacketTV]

Remember that at long distance even a 7.62x39 will slow down quite a bit and if it falls below the energy threshold for this helmet it would stop. A 7.62 at 950fps is essentially a 45acp in terms of energy transfer

[@Commanderhurtz1]

If you look at videos of guys that have been shot in the head in Afghanistan, almost none of them had broken necks.

[@Liionhawt]

If your head is 23” in diameter ain’t no way it’ll fit in that helmet. I’m going to guess you meant circumference.

[@patriot7260]

I'm glad I'm not the only one who was curious about this helmet.

[@cmoore4546]

I got mine in. I used guides on how to measure. I wore a small in the Marines and measured in between sizes so I ordered a medium and after the several months of waiting a medium/large is what it says on it and will not fit correctly. Just my experience.

[@0fficer47]

I have both the ATE and ballistic armor co. Helmet and im torn between the two.

[@patriot7260]

I ordered this helmet 8 days ago. I have no email yet letting me know they've shipped it and every time I check it just keeps saying "we're getting your order ready". Does anybody know if this is normal or if I should get into contact with HHV? I'm only asking because average shipping time says 3-5 days for HHV but it's been nearly twice as long.

[@michael2m000]

[@sophicsage]

Yeah that’s a deal breaker for me

[@coltharris8471]

David Medina the materials used in the helmet are 100% Kevlar aramid sheets made in the USA and shipped to China where they shape the helmet. That’s all that’s done in China is the shaping. They also have a HHV American employee who is the head of the QC department in the plant there, and they are tested yearly to maintain the same manufacturing quality certifications that are held by the companies that make DOD contracted helmets for the troops here in America. I’ll buy American all day long, even if it’s a little more expensive. But when Ops Core is gouging their own soldiers and officers for 1000%+ profit margins, I’ll gladly take my money elsewhere.
