My friend, I'm also running a carbon fiber bump helmet for airsoft, I'm running it with sordins, my goggles, a gopro, and things like that. However, mine cost me only 180 bucks new, but it just wasn't made by a proper "real steel" name brand like yours is. Now here's the kicker - One of my friends bought a bump helmet from Team Wendy that cost him 550 bucks, but his is made from some kind of flexible plastic, so I worry that his sordins wouldn't make a proper seal around his ears simply because the helmet flexes and doesn't build up enough pressure, and therefore I prefer my cheap-o carbon helmet over the expensive Team Wendy any day of the week. So when it comes to bump helmets, I don't understand the appeal of these very expensive name brand bump helmets. Maybe the rails and NV mount are of higher quality, but in no parallel universe does that justify the price honestly. Please enlighten me if I'm missing something!
May i add, get a surplus ACH, go to kustom ach(he has a website). He will cut your lowcut helmet in either midcut or highcut, or super highcut. All of your choice. Also, learn the difference of kevlar vs plythylene helmets. Oxide on youtube is a great source to learn from.
Yes. Damn.... I bought two ballistic helmets from my local surplus store for 100$ seven years ago. MSA IIIA. I miss the days when surplus gear was stupid affordable.
I bought a Kevlar ballistic helmet with a light attachment and new padding for $20 at a yard sale. It needed a new chin strap $35 on Amazon. Also a flak vest (no plates) for another $20. Vet recently discharged getting rid of gear. Nice man, I made a friend.
I just turned 18, and bought a new airsoft-15 with a red dot and 500 pellets. For now that’s all I can afford, but I’m excited to be getting into air soft
Good deal! I set my NVG up on a bump helmet as well from another company and am dealing with the M-Loc adaptors that are such a pain. The Arc Rails are the industry standard at this point.
My favorite helmet strap is the leather one the Marines use. I got my ballistic helmet for about $200 surplus and purchased my own accessories. Ur ballistic helmet also provides frag protections. Very important.
my level 4 plates are from premier love that company. I have a team wendy carbon but when I get a balistic im not going for a high cut. I want as much protection as I can get
@@Samurai_rabbit yea unfortunately need a bump after taking a bad concussion after a training accident & if you’re doing allot of work on motor bikes 4x4 even vehicles when you crash or brake hard the extra weight destroys the neck so for in combat full coverage Kevlar helmet is the way in my opinion
It is a nice helmet for the money but i dont have nods or anything fancy to mount so i got a ballistic military surplus for $150 will do fine for better than nothing.
For those who still don’t want to drop all those coins, try your local army navy surplus. Quite often they will have one or two MICH style helmets. Not all are rated up to 3A, some are, but they are cheap and will still provide adequate protection from most things
I am super happy with Premier Armor, my west is from them and it`s lllA+, incredibly happy with those and it was around 600 dollars pluss import to NO. I really want the helmet now hehe.
Im convinced that he buys new toys and makes videos about them just so he can make them tax write offs. I should do that for when I build a basement man cave, video reviewing the new pool table.
Then do it. No one likes the guy who is always telling everyone what he’s going to do or what he’s going buy next. In the end he never puts his money where his mouth is.
I bought a OpsCore FAST XP High Cut for just under $1,500 a couple years ago, felt that a ballistic helm would be more useful than a bump, and might need less counter weights. I’ll learn more when about NVGs when I get a monocular lol
Cody, your videos have changed so much since i first saw you timber frame in the off-grid property. And I miss the old content. BUT i do enjoy the content you currently create and i do appreciate the fact that you moved on and didn't stop yourself on creating the same contact like so many other channels.
What do you recommend for hoses for proho fire kit? Got 6 of the sprinklers like you have with bases and 2 gas 2-stroke water pumps. Pumps can use 1" or ght. Thinking toy hoses but not sure the best amount to get. watched the vids you did a month ago, and would love to see what is in the two boxes/totes in the first vid.
Just like a plate carrier, a ballistic helmet isn't always nessisary. If you're doing mountain things or night vision things helmets are still useful. If you can get both, get both. If you need both but can only get one go ballistic. If you honestly only need a bump helmet, then just get that
Can someone help me resolve my issue? I have a HHV Gen 2 + their pop in adapter and Walker Razors. I upgraded the pads which are supposed to have a better seal over ears in addition to added comfort. My problem is that they do not seal completely over my ears and does not provide ample hearing protection. I push them in as far as I can and have no idea how to make them fit over my ears any better. Any assistance would be greatly appreciated!
@MikeG: I’m not going to hate on him because he’s made a success of himself, by any means, but if you look at all the cool stuff he has, it doesn’t sound right when he says he can’t afford certain critical pieces gear that makes all the other pieces work.
@terrysaunders2026 That's exactly what was going thru my mind when I saw this video. Dude is sweating the dif between a $1k helmet that is "kinda hard" vs a $2k that is bulletproof, all the while overspending on a toolbox that could get the job done for about 400 bucks. Let alone the plethora of gear/equipment. His night vision setup costs more than what its attached to. It's like buying a full auto belt fed m249 and mounting it in the bed of a 2002 Tacoma, Taliban style.
People running ballistic helmets are counting on their adversaries being incompetent enough to aim at their head. Shrapnel, however, is a different story
when it comes to ballistic helmets, protection group Denmark makes a good high cut 3a~ish (because NIJ standards don't apply to helmets) you can also get an old military surplus ECH that gives very comparable protection to the high dollar OPS cores and such for like 350or so, get it high cut for like 200$, both options for sub thousand dollar ballistic helmets with adequate protection for pistol threats and some sub sonic rifles
This is my conundrum, I go back and forth, MK18 for NV, 14.5 / ACOG everything else, add a Rem 700 in a big boy caliber, Ruger 10/22, Rem 870 Police Magnum (pre Liberty group) and a handful of G9s, Done
If you’re not a door kicker, mk18 is mostly a novelty gun, you give up a lot of ballistic performance with a 10.5, a 13.7, 13.9 and 14.5 pinned is gunna be your best balance of performance, handiness, and lack of hassle with the corrupt institution of the atf, if you want shorter and want to keep some performance 11.5 and 12.5 seem to be the best balance. But the bottom line is, if you can get away with it for whatever task you’re doing, 556 likes longer barrels, 20 inch m16s are potent rifles and are not too long for most applications, especially for civilians.
@@that1electricianSir, 20in or not, m855 is stopped my numerous ceramic plates(not lvl 4 either). To each his own though. If you want to rock a 20in, cool. If you plan on having to use it in vehicles and structures, no thanks. Not that it can't be done, but its a pain.

I used to watch this dude fix wood stoves
And axes
That stuff was definitely important, so is this!!
Both wood stoves and ballistic helmets are important to have
Sign of the times
I LOVE the diversity. What a good mentor for men.
I thought for sure that proho would be rocking a level IV rated toupee, but I guess this will work too.
My question is, how is he going to get that head of hair inside the helmet?
@@adamdeline2075The hair is what makes the helmet level 3A
A proper made toupee should be able to withstand category 4 winds, anything less is unacceptable.
@@adamdeline2075 Don't forget the 70's Porn mustache and sleeveless ballistic jacket-shirt.
Yes.
Damn.... I bought two ballistic helmets from my local surplus store for 100$ seven years ago. MSA IIIA. I miss the days when surplus gear was stupid affordable.
Yep. Did the same.
i just got one for $150
It’s much more in demand nowadays for… reasons…
I was going to say the same. I see them for sale for couple hundred all the time
got my ACH at a gunshow for 150💀
9:51 Just funny but "I have it in god's camo, m85"
M85 is Czech pattern. He meant M81. US M81 Woodland if you're looking for the same one
It's God's plaid.
Dude, buy a MICH from surplus for like $300-$400. They work great for what they are and they are guaranteed to at least be IIIA.

Need your head to function in order for the rest of the gear to make sense.
my level 4 plates are from premier love that company.
I have a team wendy carbon but when I get a balistic im not going for a high cut. I want as much protection as I can get
Where is the tinfoil port on that new helmet?
Line the inside. Must be tin, don't get fooled by aluminum
Makes me nervous when I hear, lightweight armor. How did they cut the weight down? Is it edge to edge protection or just certain parts of the helmet?
ProHo needs whatever keeps ProHo safe in whatever scenarios may come.
I'm building my own helmet for my armored wheelchair. It's rifle rated.

@@J...1Go Ter……oh Lord
Get a protection group Denmark. I have had a hi cut from them for several years and it has served me well. Cheers
I got mine from a military surplus. After the government spends loads buying it they switch up and offload the old stuff cheap.

@@TinyGoHomes 💯. You can find some great ach and mich helmets at great prices.

Yes, you do need a ballistic helmet. No, you don't need a ops core to have a good helmet. Also no, bump helmets will not stop a round.
an east coast man would personally stress test them

If you’re wearing armor you need ballistic headgear. It’s that simple.
Not bad for some East coast boys
