Bump Helmets/Ballistic Helmets

[easy rider]

The need for a ballistic helmet is limited to certain contingencies, the majority of which most civilians will never encounter.

The same holds true for body armor.

Preppers continue to amuse me with their claims such equipment is vitally necessary...

Apparently you hadn't heard Biden throwing down the gauntlet.

Iffin youre going to wear a helmet a ballistic one is a really good choice as it offers a LOT more protection without much if any weight penalty vs a non ballistic helmet. $$ matters though and I go for good soft armor first, then figure out if you want a helmet or plates next.

I was looking for a cooler and more stabile platform for my PVS-14. Having been gifted an old PASGT with the ratchet mounted shroud was just a learning thing. My PVS-7B was old technology as was helmet. Even with upgrades to the suspension system it sucked as far as heat and stability.

Like I have said my Team Wendy was bought on the advice of TNVC for the purposes intended, not expecting feral hogs shooting back!

Yep, we all have to make decisions for ourselves and pay for it ourselves. I keep a plate carrier next to my bed, likely to never use it. My sister had a home invasion and was lucky enough to evade them.

I had a crazy situation when I was younger with meth heads that terrorized us for months. They would slingshot rocks at our house and sink back to the woods when the cops came, watching their every move. They tried to break in when we were sleeping. This went on for a long time and has stuck with me. A pissed off cop finally dealt with it the old way and pulled the obvious suspects over one day. He slammed them against their van, and said if it didn't stop, he'd find something to pin on them. It never happened again.

I leave nothing to chance, chance doesn't give a damn when it happens to you. Insurance isn't for the likelyhood, it's for a possibility even if rare or unlikely.

Truth. That is exactly what I tell the LE guys I work with. It is the same reason I don't go anywhere without at least a pistol.

Apparently that's not the case, as there's a comment posted to the article stating...

I was at Ft. Campbell two weeks ago and was surprised to see a bunch of the 101st guys rocking helmets outfitted like this.

 

[majormadmax]

Yeah, it didn't take me long to accessorize the shit out of my new HHV bump helmet...

Well, just when I thought I was done, I found a set of Smith Boogie SOEP goggles at an outstanding price!

The specs per Smith:

This goggle is designed as our lowest profile goggle, and the lowest profile goggle on the market. When it comes to fitting under night vision systems, the Boogie is unbeatable!

• Special operations eyewear package authorized
• Slotted ventilation technology
• Lenses meet US MIL-DTL-43511D goggle impact level clause 3.5.10
• Smith's uncompromising optical quality
• Durable 35 mm woven strap
• Exterior hard coat for increased scratch resistance
• Anti-fog inner coating for fog mitigation
• Each color also available in Gray and Ignitor lens tints
• 100% protection from UVA/B/C rays

These MSRP for $90, but I paid a fraction for mine. Sorry, no more were left!

Now I need to score a set of the bump helmet adapters cheap!
