I absolutely love it.I've had other helmets that were cheaply made and did not feel as balanced nor comfortable.I can wear that helmet all day long without any complaints
I purchased the GEN 2 just because it was within my budget, and believe me when I say you get your full money’s worth on this helmet. The added pads for comfort and the weight is the cherry top, for an all day wear!
I bought this helmet roughly a month ago and i finally unboxed it and got it fitted this week. The helmet itself fit as it should and feels solid. Now for the problems, the paint came chipped along the entire front lip, and several places along the sides and back, for a total of 8 spots. Not a major issue as I plan to train with it and it'll get dinged up. Would of been nice to come in pristine condition, but like I said it'll get scratched anyway. The next issue that bothered me slightly more is the rail system came uneven, with the left being much lower and even protruding beneath the lip of the helmet itself. It also had several screws put in at a severe angle on that side of the helmet, where the mount was lower. I was able to adjust it back into the correct place, but I would hope quality control will catch that in the future. Several of the glued on camo patches for my gen 3 came bubbled, but otherwise seem stuck on there pretty good, again disheartening for the cost I paid for this helmet, but I can live with it. Overall it's a structurally sound helmet, but quality control needs some serious work. I rated it 3 stars after the issues because of the payment plan offered, it helped balance out the negatives although saving up might not of been a terrible idea...
Thank you for the review. We are looking into ways to get the paint to stick better on that rubber u-channel that protects the edge of the helmet shell. It's meant to flex, but of course paint doesn't like that. Noted on the rails and thank you.
These don’t stay tight and are very cumbersome. TBH this entire M-Lok rail system has been nothing but a pain. Can’t connect ops core amp arms to it or any standard earpro to it. The plastic M-lok rails aren’t strong enough to hold ear pro to it for an extended period of time.
Hi Roger, Ops Core Amp Arms(with adapter) and the majority of standard earpro will work with our system. Please shoot us an email or message us on socials for help! Also ensure the M-LOK T-Nut is vertical in the slot, if not they will not hold.
I'm blown away by the craftsmanship on this helmet. Excellent product and customer service, fast shipping and best of all made in Texas. Highly recommend.
Love the helmet overall. The adhesive for the pads are weak, but I can fix that. I can’t get past the Mlok……swapping them out for ARC after a week of ownership.
While very attractive and low profile compared to other options, these simply do not work. I really hope they keep trying as we don't get anywhere if we don't try new things.
Hi Matthew, can you let us know what wasn't working for you? Most common issue is that people do not realize that they need to bend the wires to fit their headshape as every head is different.
Low Profile Rail Adapter Kit -Fits ARC, Peltor, 3M, and other helmet headsets.
Fits super snug after I worked the padding around that darn helmet snugs up super well don’t budge even with NV on the front
After too much research I settled on a HHV Bump helmet to mount my NOD on.
It’s very comfortable. Very responsive company, although I have NO issues.
It’s solid, comfortable, cool, and delivery was prompt. I’ve already recommended this company to my friends. Very satisfied
Great as a bag, or sling bag. Room enough to have nods mounted, or stowed in included case. Also able to mount thermal case on molle, however there is enough room to spare to stow inside should I desire. Bag exceeded my expectations.
Pop Out Rail Adapter Kit -Fits Peltor, 3M, and other helmet headsets.
Overall, it is a good value for the money I am not crazy about the pads but its comfortable my NVD Wilcox mount fits perfect, it's very light weight that's what I was looking for
It does what it’s supposed to do. Only issue is the **** it optionally attaches to is under Velcro which required me to use an exacto knife to expose. However the Velcro alone is adequate. Instructions would have been useful.
This is an excellent helmet. Suitable alternative to the “team trendy” fad.
Same quality, half the price.
Used the helmet for hours the other day doing rope work and was not disappointed in the comfort and breathability. 10/10
Arrived quickly, even during Christmas time. Using it for for work on the border in South Texas. Love it so far, and might have to buy high cut too!
Very grateful to the great team at hard head veterans! The new kevlar fits great and came with extra replacement pads which is very appreciated! Would definitely recommend them as a resource if you are in the market for helmets and other gear! Haven’t fully outfitted it yet but it seems pretty rugged!
Rail adapters are great, haven’t battle tested them yet but they feel solid.
Hard Hat Veterans gets it. I purchased the Tactical Surfer Patch in numbers. As a surfer, former SWAT cop and current Team Sergeant. I hand them out as a "you're extra special to me" kind of thing. Hard hat Veterans are super cool guys with super awesome customer service.
Was able to run ear pro cable through it to secure it better for a better fitting helmet with the nods
