I have been using the Helmet for a couple of weeks now as a replacement to the ACH. Love the price for the same protection rating, but the only problem I have with it is the included circle Velcro stickies. After placing them on and holding them down for about 60 seconds each, they still fall off. Other than this, I have no complaints!
This helmet is great! The straps need to be adjusted at the mounting points and the padding is only slightly off but those are minor details. The cover I bought for my HHV helmet fits great on it. Definitely recommended these helmets to others. Now on to ordering accessories!
I like the helmet, seems stout. I ordered the multicam version and all of the multicam, like in the photo, is made up of stickers placed on a Tan helmet. Now it wouldn't be so bad if the stickers weren't placed so far apart and positioned in a rather non-uniform manner. The stickers are ****-eyed. Also, the hook and loop on the cushions was a little weak, it really showed when using the extra padding that was provided. The pads don't stick very well. Otherwise, if seems pretty good. The hat is a nice touch. Additionally it came with the MLok trails when it would've been nice to have the an option to attach ARC hardware and attachments
Used for work, got lucky and was able to use it the day I received it! Much lighter then my issued helmet and great upgrade for comms and fpv drones.
The HHV is a very great helmet! I swapped the retention system with the team Wendy and it makes a great combo with the gen 3 helmet and pads!
