No kidding - hopefully no one is buying those, maybe the used helmets if you're just wanting to hang it on a wall or for whatever else you might want, but not to stop anything more than a bump on the head. Hell a bump helmet is cheaper than those Chinese "ballistic' helmets.
There are many options, some are used, some are new, pricing can be $65 for a PASGT - right now - but those are used 1980's model helmets. If you want new and certified and don't want to spend $700-$1400+ this is a decent option. Not everyone wants or even needs a 30-40 year old helmet for $65...
This is a fair point, it seems to be a more niche product. The helmets are what I’m interested in. The vests are a newer product, they are NIJ certified though and most of the other options particularly in that price range are not. I’ve spoken to several people and most prefer the hard armor...
Yeah I do agree that that video is lame, clearly is just some YouTuber doing a review but for a Dupont standard Kevlar shell that's NIJ Certified (not just compliant) given the price point?
