If you're left handed, read first!
TLDR: Yes, I would buy from them again.
My review might be slightly biased as I'm one of the 10%'ers of the world (left handed). That comes into play with the head harness, buckle. Unfortunately, HHV doesn't make a harness to put the buckle on the right side of the face (to get a good cheek-weld). And us lefties aren't going to get one with that big-*** buckle in the way. That is really unfortunate as the solution is simple. The plastic for the ratchet system simply needs to be mirrored, and BAM, lefties rejoice! So, us lefties must spend more $ and time to get an overpriced harness (looking at you Ops-Core) that will accommodate us. Huge deal? Yes, simple, inexpensive solution? Also, yes.
Lastly, (a minor gripe) some of the velcro loop for the padding were so off in their placement they completely missed the hook part. An easy fix though-I just repositioned the loop. (chalking that up to it being made on either a Friday or Monday maybe ;). Happy to support a veteran owned business, but they just need a little more focus on that front sight post.
These are ****, they're too stiff to move the ear pro off or to the rear, and when you do they pop off the earpro. Make a better design.
Hi Whiskey, you can adjust the stifness by the tension you but in the attachment screw, than loctite in place. Also if they are popping off the T-nut is not vertical in the slot! Ensure that and they won't pop off.
I couldn’t be happier with the bump helmet from these folks. It fits great and is very comfortable. The build quality is unmatched. You can tell they really take pride in their work. Shipping was extremely fast. I will definitely be doing more business with them in the future. Keep up the amazing work!
I got the basic HHV pads and am using them with the issued ones for maximum stability, comfort, and coverage. Highly recommend
Mounted it on my Hard Head Veteran bump helmet, very hard to lock into ears. Everyone on the SWAT Team watched your video, everyone having problems getting the peltor Comms to lock in. And once you do get them locked in, they pop back out while running the stress course on the range. It’s bad when you have to have another member of the team lock in your helmet Comms! For the price$$$$$, these need updating BAD!!! And the Sheriff isn’t happy that we can’t talk to someone on the phone, only by email!! Bad business!!! I need to return these, one more time, please call me at [****]. Thanks JT
Hi James, will get in contact with you shortly! You will want to bend the wires to get a solid fit first and foremost. The bump helmet will have flex to it, so when popping them in, simply push out on the shell with your thumbs to make this a little easier.
not the best not the worst good for the price
It’s a great mount system, it’s a fixed position and the only issue I’ve found with it is sometimes I have an issue getting a good seal around my ears taking a few seconds of moving the ear pro further on the wire and off but otherwise it works as it should, if you don’t need to have ear pro off with your helmet on then it’s a better choice than a two position pop in system and even then you can swing the arms to put the earpro rested on the helmet
It’s nice to deal with people that care
Just got my ballistic lid. Retention system is nice and customized fit with the padding provided.
Easy to mount, easy to swivel, allows for quick donning and doffing of headgear, would recommend.
I'm 51, in decent shape, can't run a marathon but can do most anything on days my body and I are in agreement. This was my 1st helmet, and I was excited to get it. I didn't know what to expect so I kept my expectations at bay. 1st impressions, the buying process, packaging and delivery were excellent, even a nice handwritten thank you.
I did go with the mid-range priced HHV made in the U.S. I bought a few accessories should the SHTF and have those nicely stored away (a HHV storage bag would be great). I love the way it looks; it took me some time over a few days to get the padding right; I do wish there were some type of instructions (or QR code) to reference. I got a package of parts and nothing more. I did figure it out, but basic directions would have been nice. Next was the weight. I wasn't prepared for the weight on my head. I put it on for 20 minutes and I got lightheaded and could feel the weight, LOL. So rather than moan like my old lady, the next day I wore it for 20 minutes, the next day 30 minutes, and today I just crossed over 60 minutes without issue. Bottom line, if you're not used to a helmet, there is an adjustment period to train your neck; again, some basic directions might be good here since HHV is selling to a lot of civilians. If I bought/added all the accessories that a good helmet has and I wasn’t trained to wear it, I can see some people being taken back.
After having this about a month and wearing it every few days, I really like this helmet and would recommend to anyone who asks for a quality American made helmet to look at HHV. Thanks boys!
It doesn’t let my earpro sit right when in use
Overall great helmet, no complaints. Very comfortable. Needs to have a different style buckle option. The magnetic buckle helmets have been banned in Airborne Operations.
Ordered this as an alternative to Ops Core and Team Wendy and I could not be happier. This is a solid, battle tested and HHV tested helmet with a proven track record. Great customer support and very informative and understanding. Very comfortable with the supplied pads and easy to adjust and add more pads (included with helmet) to make the perfect fit to your weird head. If you needed a sign to order this, JUST DO IT.
Fits great velcro is nice and sticky plenty of room for cables securement.
I like the helmet. The chin strap buckle is the best Ive see. The rear adjustment isn’t that great but once you get it set its fine. The side rails are lacking in options. Its comfortable and light weight. Its aesthetically pleasing. There may be better bump helmets but they are all way more expensive. This is a good helmet for the price.
Comfortable fit, great product, fast shipping, and incredible customer service. Well done and will continue to purchase HHV products.
Had to change the pads around a lot to make it right to me but once you get it dialed in super comfy system
It's easier to put on than you would have thought and looks better than the beaver pelt. FYI: I found out it's easier to apply them starting from the rear than the front like the instructions recommend. It is easier to line up.
Arrived supper quick. Easy to set up and get fitted properly. Great setup guides online by you guys. Will 100% be a returning customer for the rest of my and my families needs.
Got the helmet cover, fits pretty damn good. I'm a little.comfused with the velcro straps but sure it's all operator error. Love HHV and love your products. God Bless from Texas
